O.

Lmao that Carolina trade is terrible for the Canucks. Pettersson isn’t being traded but hypothetically if he was to Carolina it starts with Aho+ or Nikishin++

carolina declines that trade

No we don’t

mikheyev and a former 3rd round pick gets all that?

NYR declines, sorry but they do. They need to build around those guys not trade them away

Hronek for pick #14? Sold.

Rangers don't consider

Think so? I was on the fence given the rebuild timeline and how much his contract will cost. Sounds like he will want ~8x8. Then again, I am building a SJ roster giving Zadorov 6.5m. But I am paying for some size too.

As far as this Van roster goes, the youtube I just watched said rumor was the contract Zadorov just declined from Van was 6x5. Also, Reinhart is getting 8 figures unless he stays with the Pants.

Thats EP40 in the CAR trade, D-petey is going to NYR which NYR decline so fast.

Hmmm good points. If we're back to handing out 8 x 8's why not just keep Hertl? But Hronek is 4 years younger....
I think I still do this. Hronek is only 26 and a true P1. No guarantee anyone we pick at #14 will turn out as good. Sharks desperately need a top 4 RD who can move the puck.

Let's sign Zadorov too!

Four years younger and a more difficult position to fill. So its probably the right move. Can't imagine Vancouver making that offer though.

no chance nyr declines. getting a franchise 100 point centreman plus a 40 goal scoreer and a young player with a great contract? vancouver should be asking for 6 firsts for that package.

That was the other Pettersson

You’ve got your EPs mixed up

I agree this trade is bad for bad for Vancouver, but Aho is better than Pettersson. And even if he wasn’t, 1Cs don’t get swapped for 1Cs, it’d be a package of smaller stuff

100 point great defensive Center > 90 point great defensive Center

Pettersson also put up his offensive numbers with significantly worse linemates than Aho. Pettersson’s 5 most common linemates the last 2 seasons are Mikheyev, Kuzmenko, Beauvillier, Hoglander, and Boeser. Aho’s are Jarvis, Svech, Guentzel, Teravainen, and Necas

Okay but Aho also plays Rod’s ridiculous style of hockey that destroys offensive minded players
