Popular Post AV. Posted March 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I've been reviewing some of the highlights from our miniseries against Winnipeg and I've struggled to pinpoint the moment where Elias Pettersson may have hurt himself. I don't doubt the possibility of injury but I do question the genuineness and the severity of this knock. This leads me to ask this question: Has Elias Pettersson asked for a trade? Much like Quinn Hughes and J.T. Miller, Elias Pettersson has been noticeably vocal in expressing his surprise about some of the decisions management has made since the team's heroic performance in the playoff bubble. Now entering the final season of his entry-level contract and having been an absolute superstar since day one, it's well rumoured that Elias Pettersson will be seeking a contract in the range of what Auston Matthews is making. While an ask of $10M-$11M annually is more than fair for the value that Elias Pettersson brings, the Canucks will also have to cater to Quinn Hughes and Thatcher Demko, navigate the expansion draft, and figure out how to make this all work financially. As we have learned in the past, multitasking and time management is not something this management team is particularly exceptional at (see: Tyler Toffoli). With recent comments about Tanner Pearson being the main re-sign priority for the team, as well as factoring in the overall team performance from last year to this year, it is not out of the question to speculate that Elias Pettersson may see the writing on the wall. Given his clear interests in growing his own brand (Twitch gaming, fashion crossovers, Barstool appearance), he may feel as though he isn't as revered by management to the same extent that fans revere him. I would not be surprised if his absence is related to possible unhappiness and unwillingness to suit up for the team. Do I think he's played his last game? No. However, I do think he isn't rushing himself to get back into the lineup, sort of like Jack Eichel in Buffalo. What do we think?

Chickenspear Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 So, if he's asking for a "Matthews contract", that would lock him in here long term... so why would he want a long term contract here if he wants to get traded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 There could be a mental reason for his absence too, which is also something you shouldn't have to disclose to the public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting a Matthews-like contract and the potentiality of getting that deal with Vancouver are two different things, unfortunately. Hope this helps.
