Patel Bure Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Edit - I’m going to add in Boeser+ for Laine here. [proposal] Canucks-Jets: A proposal that you guys probably won't like Hey guys, Unlike most other proposals that I've posted on here, I'm about to propose something that most of you probably won't like.......:-p To Jets: Elias Pettersson To Canucks: Pierre Luc Dubois (+ draft pick(s) if it evens out the deal) Why the Jets do this: They get a younger and more talented asset in Pettersson The Jets are already big and heavy. With an elite talented center playmaker on their hands, maybe they further maximize guys like Ehlers and Kyle Connor even further Why the Canucks do this: They get bigger up front They get another shot at signing an RFA to a long term deal. Unlike Petey, Dubois likely will never be a 9-10 million dollar player (although the way Pettersson is playing, he might never be that guy either). With Dubois however, he could realistically be signed between 7-8 million for the next 7-8 years which is pretty good value. By signing PLD to a 7-8 million dollar deal, you ensure a stronger likelihood of keeping an internal cap.

Devron Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I don’t know Dubois looks legit so far this year. If I didn’t believe in Petey I would do it. I think both teams would prefer to see what they have in the players before making a move like that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Well, Dubois IS outscoring Petey thus far (PLD with 11 points) but I don't know if that's the solution either. His size could make him tough to handle if he did drive the net on the PP but it's probably too soon still to trade away Petey's talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) tbh I think Benning would go for this. But WPG likes having some big fellers in the lineup, and they already have Ehlers. Edited November 6, 2021 by JM_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Canucks Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I think Elias may be tradable for the right deal. Not sure to is it but it’s a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong, but after this season, PLD will have completed 6 seasons and only needs one more to be eligible for UFA. IF he doesn't want to be in Winnipeg indefinitely, he could just sign his Qualifying Offer, and the following summer, cash in on the free agent market. If that's the case, I wouldn't want to do anything unless he was locked up for long term, or if there was an agreement for that at least. I could be wrong, but I think this guy wants to be in Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a better solution for this team would be in changing the coach rather than trading Petey but I can’t help but wonder.....

Yes, that could happen, as it did to Ottawa and Mark Stone, but the Sens just ended up trading Stone to a sign and trade and received young assets in return. To my understanding however, most pending RFA’s don’t completely screw over their teams like that unless the team is truly free falling. Having said that, both of you are right. There would be that added risk involved in trading for a guy like PLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I think by the response that people are getting tired of Pettersson being so easily knocked off the puck, but to be honest, I am not sure it does not have more to do with Pettersson being inured and covid etc....over the last 18 months. There is no doubt Pettersson is pushed around easily, but I do think it is too soon to question his abilities............ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(counting the 20k+ I lost here in the board transition) I'm more from here than "there" if that cools your obsession at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 PLD is Winnipeg's replacement for Blake Wheeler... who is now 35 years old and injured again. Unless PLD goes into the toilet, Jets will sign him... he is part of their long term plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey is in his 4th year, so he has 3 more years after this one. So one year difference as they were drafted one year apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
