Pittsburgh has been open to moving Pettersson for some time, an indictment on his level of play or not he is a legit NHL defenseman. Add him with Joseph an up and coming dman youve replaced a winger with two NHL dmen that upgrade on the dmen that have been moved and are much younger. I don't think we are getting the two defensemen back with retaining under a million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckFan1123 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Pettersson seems to have pretty good overall numbers. Good amount of blocks and hits. His turnover ratio isn’t too bad. Plays 20 minutes a game. +\- has never been a minus over a full season. I can’t say I know a ton about him but just on basic stats he looks solid. Obviously doesn’t add much offensively but we really need a good defensive guy anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though apparently Alvin likes Pettersson so he’s probably a Canuck I think Allvin is trying to prep for the future arrival of dman Elias Pettersson and the inevitable day when we end up in 3 v 3 overtime with the game winning goal of Petey to Petey to Petey for the win. Allvin wants the memes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly than actually getting POJ back is that we’d be subtracting one of our many overpriced wingers for cap space and another body to help reshape the structure of our defense.

eeeeergh Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Man this OEL contract just sucks so bad. No matter how you slice it, a buyout is just so painful. The two seasons where the cap penalty is greatest are also probably the seasons we want to make a serious run in the playoffs - all our core pieces will be in their primes. Idk how they work their way out of this one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk how they work their way out of this one. I suspect they hang on to OEL into next year and re-evaluate their mix after this TDL and next fall’s training camp. His cap hit is a problem which lends itself to keep playing him even as a 3D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we got a tangible asset for Stillman and took back no salary. That is amazing just on its own. A team willing to move on from its mistakes, that is refreshing. A prime example of why we need to be more patient. If they trade Brock - there will be a lot of CDCers that probably should start writing their apology letters. They are not mistakes if they are calculated and part of a plan. Dumping Dickie turned into a win win for us. Stillman a good tank commander, cap off the books for a couple seasons, and close to a second round prospect level guy back already drafted and a year developed. If they manage Myers or Brock or Garland .... especially Brock it's a pretty good start. Quite a few actually preferred letting Brock walk then signing him. Sure some salary retention might occur. Next year won't matter that much anyways. So with Myers a win. Brock is going to be judged a little later - and of course the returns matter too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly doesn't carry the play and may never play up to what he's getting paid, but there's hope for a sub-optimal outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to wonder if OEL is not a candidate for really long-term injury status like Hossa was, for example.

Yeah I don't like the idea of the Canucks retaining in any trade. We need as much cap space as possible to sign Petey, he's due for a huge payday.

Hope he has a GREAT GAME tomorrow so somebody gets fooled into taking him off our hands for a small amount of sweeteners. Feed him Petey! 5 assists for Pettersson and OEL with his best night ever; maybe get him some bananas and coke. Take a brutal contract back (as long as its term is short); F I Don't Know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
