Pettersson is not going no place. Pettersson Karlsson and Ohgren are youg and good enough.Hoglander O'Connor Sasson are OK. Bad news are Boeser and Debrusk. Brusk is back Boeser is counting birds. Both started well than fell off. Garland is the best player for teams to go after. Sherwood the same. Kampf is not second line center sorry must go. Abby has a better center than Kampf. Raty is true help thi year.
The Canucks aren't going to trade this guy. The entire team burned down around him and management still believes in him. I think they will name him the Captain next season and they are going to just let him ride out his contract.
The sharks could do the deal
Canucks are better off keeping ep40 and getting him better linemates. Move debrusk boeser
Sell the whole franchise!
Paid eleven million dollars for 6 months of work and he responds by being lazy and unproductive.
11 mill is not so bad now they are paying guys 18mill and he as been playing fine this year on a team with literally no other centers
Reality is Petterson has control. What does he want? Also the team doesnt have to trade him. Hes under contract.
Reset the books lol. A contract that doesnt need to be moved. Not worth it.
The last hypothetical package I heard was Brandt Clarke, Liam Greentree, Carter George, and a 1st. If that was on the table, I would nod and take what the LA Kings are offering!
Speaking for all Canucks, we are not ok with Jesperi Kotkaniemi coming here in a Petey trade
Save Pettersson for Ivar or McKenna next year
Get her out of here!!!
One thing going for EP40 from the perspective of other teams is that he's great defensively and he's been playing with bottom 6 and AHL players. If a team has the wingers they think can play at an elite level with him, they might take that chance, but because of the contract, it probably still means taking a bad but shorter term contract back. If you've got a big sniper who can get to the front of the net and you're missing a playmaker, maybe he's your guy. But again, the contract is a big obstacle.
Washington should be all over Petterson. They haven't had a top line Center since Backstrom's prime ended.
Wish they could dump boeser Kane myers and debunk. Prefer to keep pedey and garland.
Over paid big time..the last 2 years terrible..who going take his 8 year contract
Hurricanes? Islanders?
When is that $14M bonus due?
He's not going anywhere with that contract..
He’s got 29 points in 39 games playing with scrubs on his wings. I think Petey is playing fine under the circumstances.
Get rid of that bum!!
