Quoting: Juiceman
How can you possible ask for Pettersson and not even include Jiricek or Johnson? I understand not including Fantilli, but not including Jiricek and Johnson immediately makes it insulting. Its quality>quantity. While not a terrible package, not including at least one of those two makes it unrealistic
i 100% get why this is the vancouver fan sentiment. yes, the ask would start with johnson/jiricek. that's not the point of this – the point of this is to show what CBJ would counter with.
even without johnson or jiricek… i don't know if there's a better offer out there? sillinger, marchenko and mateychuk are all equal to most teams' top prospects, the two firsts are valuable given cbj's problems in goal + the absurdly difficult metro division, and even peeke as a throw-in is a cost-controlled RHD with size.

Oh I will yell at you.
You're not getting Pettersson.
Both teams declined this trade.
imo cbj doesn't decline this. it's a lot to give up, but the pettersson + fantilli foundation is worth it.
vancouver definitely asks for johnson or jiricek. the point of making this is seeing if cbj's counter to that would still be enough to outbid the field.
you can sit there all day and say "well, you're not giving up any of your top three prospects" – and i understand why! – but i'd counter that by saying that they'd be largely bidding against teams that couldn't match this kind of offer – both in terms of pick value and prospect quality/quantity.
