KyGuy123 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 This win streak and how we close out the season will go a long way to attracting GM candidates, AGM candidates and free agents. I would wait till the off-season to hire/interview potential people and bank we go on a huge tear and are anointed a destination anyone would want to go to. Patience might pay off here.

I don't disagree, but I heard Rutherford say he's hoping to hire someone within about a month. He also had really high praise for Ryan Johnson about a minute before he started talking about his love for bringing up new guys (and had a list of a half dozen guys that he pulled up into Gm and/or AGM positions). Made me wonder if that's how he's leaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiring a brand new GM is a habit of ours, but having a mentor for them sounds like a better process and if the AGMs are experienced too... If the Twins are future executives do they take some kind of AGM of Abby if this happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, on Ryan Johnson specifically, I feel like I'd prefer the route of bringing in someone with prior experience and success at the NHL level. But I'm not JR, so I guess I'll just wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs a lot of sheltered minutes to succeed. Wow. This is what one bad 1/3 season gets you eh? Season is not even half done. You dont win MVP and golden helmet of SHL as a rookie for being crappy. Think about all the greats that came out of the SHL? And then he wins rookie of the year in the NHL. Overrated??? Petterson is a cerebral player with great puck skills. The first 3 seasons, it looked like he knew what he wanted to do with the puck ahead of time and did it. If you could grade it, His anticipation was like 95/100 He was always at the right place at the right time and then when he got the puck, there was zero hesitation and he made a great play whether it be a shot, pass or defensive check. I still remember him picking off a king's breakout pass going down left wing full speed and letting go a Gretzky clapper to win the game. I don't remember any canuck that would have the guts to go full speed up ice to pick off a pass when the opposition D is making a breakout pass. It's usually a play on the body of the winger to make a defensive play. He showed moxy in the STL playoff series as well. I think this is Peteys humbling experience right now. After the offseason contract negotiations, some comments he made , all the time he spent on instagram and recording studios etc. He's probably regretting a lot of it. But you know what, I'd rather he go through this now rather than in a playoff series when we need him to show up. I think it'll be amazing if he gets it together in the 2nd half and becomes the old Petey when we hit playoffs. That's like adding a star at the TDL. BB is showing we have a good team. With some run support from other guys, pressure should be easing which will allow Petey some space to breath and regain his touch. Whats funny is that he has been terrible this year and he's still 0.5 pts per game. Now we know what his floor is lol Edited January 4, 2022 by CanucksJay 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was injured/off and now is having trouble finding his game again. But stay consistent if you're demanding that he do so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwood12 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 We are seeing the real Oilers right now! On the other hand we are seeing the real Canucks after the coaching change. We were so far back that it will still be a real challenge to get the last playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he wasn't getting sheltered minutes when he scored 28 and 27 goals in his first two seasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before this year he's only been a .5 PPG player in the AHL and only 10 total games in the NHL without a point. Could be a late bloomer would be interested to see if he gets a game.

Most players in the league wish they could produce that at their peak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
