I agree, too many errors made.
Petey and Matthews are similar in the fashion ideas as well, but AM remembers that he is a hockey player first and puts up 60+ goals a year. Its about the off ice commitment that is so concerning about him. Put the gamepad down, put on some muscle and play hard. Unfortunately, I don't think its in his makeup. July 1 is a big deadline upcomming... - carsonagenic
Elliotte Friedman on Elias Pettersson : It sounds like they're dialing back things (trade talks) on Pettersson. They want to see how things look and how he reacts now.
Believe Canucks are getting to UFA Marcus Pettersson's agent pretty quickly hear on an extension. - Pacificgem
If all of this is true, it's a lot of pandering for 1 player. Like way too much.
I mean, if he's as bad as you say, he's not worth a bag of pucks.
I still say shut him down if he is indeed hurt, let him try and rehab fully and either become somewhere near the 11.6 player or rebuild some value. Right now his value is at all-time (so far) low. - Sayros
I’m harsh on him for good reason. He’s playing at HIS minimum level. How is he rebuilt back to 11.6m value? He’s his own problem & has been his own reason for success. He has to work on his game a lot more like any good pro does not waste summers & warm ups.

From Dayal's longer article this afternoon
While both Lindell and Skjei signed with no state tax teams, which we should adjust for, the range here is still instructive. There’s no world where Pettersson comes in at a number lower than the $5.25 million with term that Lindell signed for, and you’d imagine the Canucks would be reticent to go up to $7 million and seven years the way the Predators did with Skjei.
Given Pettersson’s statistical profile and the leverage dynamics at play we should probably set our baseline expectations for his next deal somewhere in the range of six years at a $6.5 million annual average value.
Yeah that has makings of a legit 2nd line. Leaves 3rd and 4th a little barren besides Sherwood, but probably one problem at a time right now.
Doesn't appear Blueger / Dak / Garland are going to find that chemistry they had last year as a very solid third line. Feel a lot has to do with Joshua just not the same (hard to blame). Hopefully he bounces back next year, musta been a terrible off-season. - Sayros
Yeah, I think this entire season is a bit of a write off for Joshua, it would be for anyone normally, but especially because of the type of game he plays.
You and Nighty make an adorable couple. Dragon broke him in for you though. - boonerbuck
Yes. They've traded one player and are now giving him time to see how things work out. Absolutely pandering. Get your head out of your vagina and grow a pair.
