kenhodgejr Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Bit of a long shot but say Emil Pettersson just put up 22 g 26 a for 48 p in 52 games in the SHL what if were to sign him and bring him over then he magically starts playing awesome hockey with his brother and Hoglander. We could have a really cheap top 6 center option which would allow Miller to go third line C and allow us to save $$ Then use that money for a free agent to play with Hughes I think playing with Hogs and his brother Elias would bring out the best in him forcing him to be a faster player and improve all the areas he needs to so that he can be on that line. I think it would also bring out the best in Elias Hoglander Emil Pettersson Elias Pettersson Pearson Horvat Boeser Highmore Miller Podkolzin Motte Beagle Hawryluk Pettersson MacEwan Hughes Barrie Edler Schmidt Rathbone Hamonic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzipunch Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Why play him with his brother? Why not try him as our new 3rd line center? Gets to play with podz and like you said, hes cheap. Id give him a shot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Devron Posted June 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2021 Wouldn’t hurt to give him a 1 year deal. Big no on Barrie for me though. And if you did sign Barrie sure as hell wouldn’t have him paired with Hughes. Maybe just on the PP 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Totally in on the Emil Pettersson train as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Emil is not a 1C in the NHL. He's a depth piece with the potential to be the 3C next season. Emil and Elias are not Sedins 2.0. I do like Emil and think he'd be a really savvy, cheap signing. Barrie is also a big fat no. We already have a better version of Barrie and his name is Rathbone. And also Hughes. The Canucks will only tolerate two "short" defensemen and there names are Quinn Hughes and Jack Rathbone. Barrie probably returns to Edmonton.

MrCanuck94 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Emil would be fighting for a 4C spot and have to prove himself up the line up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Interesting take... only concern about this would be in case it doesn't work out. Could it influence Peteys general feelings towards the Canucks in a negative way? Think they both would love to at least try to play together, so sure why not... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Maybe a chance but the Canucks don't have much in the way of extra contract room to take many gambles. They need a checking centerman, not sure Emil is a good fit at 3C and he would have some serious competition for the top 6 Big no to Barie...... Canucks would become the softest team in the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblix Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I'd give him a shot if he wants to take minimum 1 year deal and is able to play winger position where he can be utilized as an offensive top 9 forward. Perhaps more of a reason to get a player like Reinhart whom can play Center or RW so can see how things turn out between the two down that middle. Having Podz on the wing to fetch pucks could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I would be open to giving Emil Pettersson a chance if management feels like he's good enough. But he's no 1st centre - that's Elias' place to lose. I'd be open to see if Emil could possibly win the third line centre position. If not, maybe Sutter (at a cheap contract) fill in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
