I wouldn't be stunned to see Petterson move, though the return would have to be ridiculous as it is hard to replace a 1st line who can score a point per game. Is he that? If he is why would we trade him? I'm not saying he won't get traded I just don't think it'll be for a fortune like some suggest. As of right now he's a center who can't win faceoffs consistently, isn't physical, average defensively on his best nights and isn't scoring right now. We need to find out what he is before he puts his try pants on during his contract year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there’s a Petey move unless it’s a PLD/Laine type but I have yet to see another player in Petey’s situation. Usually starts with the player wanting out.

He already has .9 ppg career average since joining the league and just turned 23 years old. Any team that is trading for him will be getting him just hitting the start of his prime and a safe bet at a PPG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you try to get it for half off? hahahah While I think he is an overpaid disaster this year, I think people saying trade him at all are dumb. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do sandwiches go through slumps and then get better? Do they normally develop and get better for several years after they get made? Do sandwiches taste better or worse depending on what other sandwiches are around them? You don’t pay for an old sandwich because there is zero potential for it to become a better Sandwich again. That is not true for young star hockey players. With posts like that, I don’t think you should be so quick to be calling other folks dumb.

It was obviously not a serious response, kind of like you thinking any team is going to pay for Petey like he is still that almost PPG player. Value changes year to year. His return to form isn’t guaranteed, and it doesn’t look like he will any time soon. Hopefully he does, but no one is going to pay like this year hasn’t happened. Having said all that, yeah…. People thinking trading him right now are dumb. Why wait until his value plummets before trading him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on if you’re talking about a sandwich or the sandwich. A sandwich certainly doesn’t get better with age. (Unless you’re hungover and you have half a sandwich leftover from the night before. Sometimes that sandwich is divine.) But the sandwiches I made when I was young can’t compare to the sandwiches I can make today. And certainly a sandwich can taste better or worse, depending on the sandwiches around them. Like when you’re at a picnic and you grab the last turkey swiss, from a platter with only warm egg salad sandwiches left. Or the sad looking gluten free sandwich my Celiac wife has to eat, while seeing her boys eating ones I’ve made on amazing fresh bread from the bakery. And sandwiches do make comebacks. Just look at the tuna melt. Terribly out of fashion for years and nobody was making them, outside of diners and greasy spoons. But recently, it seems like they’re popping up on menus everywhere, even Michelin starred chefs. And sometimes, old sandwiches just are the best. When I’m in a city with a good Jewish deli, I’m definitely ordering the Reuben. It’s probably a hundred year old sandwich, but sometimes the classics are the best. (I’m just playing around with this analogy. And now I’m hungry. ) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If such trade goes through, it has chance to be the next Cam Neely trade. I too wouldn't be stunned to see Pettersson move but I know that would be a mistake considering that the two centers above him are 28 and 26 years old going towards UFA.

IMO the only way you move Petey is if it is a PLD/Laine type deal. That took both players wanting out first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have many centers coming behind Petey... in fact, we have none. If Miller walks to UFA, our center depth is barren and we are screwed.

Petey/Pod/Hog/Garland/Boeser/Miller/Horvat. Petey still developing at C too. Still needs work on at the dot. I wouldn't move Petey if a long-term contender is what we're trying to build which is what Rutherford has sounded on multiple times. Miller seems like the odd man out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL97OneTimer Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I just want to know how many games in a row this team can win WITH Petey back in business. It's pretty remarkable that this team makes a big jump when Petey joins the team and plays lights out. Now this team is playing well with Petey being pretty MIA. When with the stars align I ask?......April, May, June?!!!! Petey's worth being patient for. I suspect he's either injured or got too cocky over the summer.....both of which should be reversible issues. Petey's ceiling is higher than Brock and at this point their salaries are similar. Pretty clear who I'd keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
