Vancouver is not trading Pettersson. The ask would be so absolutely obnoxious from Vancouver.

If you are looking for a good young centre who may be available, look at PLD with Winnipeg.

The Canes simply don't have the pieces for Pettersson.

I get that they want to bury their head in the sand about the current state of the team but Vancouver needs a rebuild and the Hurricanes would be willing to pay more than a fair price to kickstart the rebuild including Morrow and/or Alexander Nikishin

For the price, the Canucks are going to demand they probably do not have the pieces
For a reasonable price the Hurricanes do have the pieces

Aho plus

The Canucks have no reason to move him so of course our demand is going to be high lol

The price will not be reasonable though. Make a reasonable package and then add another 1st and Jarvis. That's when Vancouver considers.

That's not a reasonable price for Petterson. I was thinking something in the realm of our first-round picks from 2023-2026, second-round picks from the same dates, Scott Morrow, Justin Robidas, Jamieson Rees, Jack Drury, Martin Necas, and Tuevo

Yah they have multiple reasons
1. They are not winning or making the playoffs with this current core
2. Petterson is a piece that can fetch a hefty return (See my realm of ballpark above)
3. They need new blood in the organization both players and management

What is the cost of a 100 point 24 yr old centre with team control?

Probably 3rd overall plus a top prospect plus a high end roster player.

Aka it’s not really possibly for Carolina. CBJ or MTL or SJ would be much better trading partners, if Van were to decide to offload Pettersson (they wouldn’t tho)

I was thinking something in the realm of four firsts, four seconds, a top prospect, 2 top six players, and a young bottom six guy

Buncha random pieces, none of them sniffing the ceiling of Pettersson?

Doesn’t make sense for either side. Van loses value and Carolina guts their depth and picks and prospect pool

VAN only moves Pettersson if he wants out. Also, VAN ownership is not going to do a rebuild either.

Those four firsts would probably get you two-three nhl players.
Morrow projects to be a top pairing defensemen.
Necas is a young cost controlled played who just put up 70 points and has a lot of room to improve
Tuevo is a very good defensive forward

1.Mangment has made it clear they are not rebuilding. IF Vancouver was to blow it up the Canes really don't have anything interesting in a rebuild move Morrow is a nice piece but isn't enough to be a blue-chip prospect in a Pettersson trade. Only team that might have the pieces for it is CJB with 3ova +
2. Of course Pettersson is going to fetch a hefty return he is 100 point 24 year old rfa,
3. I mean they already have done that, Leadership group change and new management in the past year is getting new blood in the organization.

Well the VAN ownership is wrong... if they stick to this course they are going to be stuck in perpetual sub-mediocrity for a while and why not get a substantial haul a team like Carolina might be able to give out

He's a top 10 center in the league it's 100% a reasonable ask, with moving any superstar you need quality not quantity coming the other way, this isn't nhl 23 you can't just dump a bunch of late 1st for a top 10 center

This is you Jim Benning, you had your chance.Let the real pros have their chance.lol .come on Peety is untouchable right now.

Vancouver has an owner that doesn't care about being stuck in perpetual mediocrity. Francesco Aquilini doesn't care about winning, he cares about making the most money possible. That means putting forward the best team he can so that he can sell the most tickets and merch to make the most money. As long as Aquilini owns the team, the Canucks will never rebuild. He won't go through the necessary 3-4 years of a terrible team because that means losing fans, selling less tickets, and making less money.

If you'd want him it would likely be Aho (+extension) +++.

Carolina has nothing else to truly offer. It would cost more then Tkachuk

Carolina wont sign him to the contract that he would want so wouldn't happen anyways.

A move probably wouldn't happen but they do have enough cap space even with the extensions coming up to give him in the $11-12m range
