[Doublechin]

Not a rumor, not an offer, let's say at draft day this deal gets done. Who is the winner as of draft day?

[Just Linda]

Oof.

Both sides say no. Both sides feel that they already have the more valuable player.

It would take a lot more than EP for me to want to give up Suzuki.

 

[Luck 6]

No chance Canucks do this. Pettersson may have had a slow start, but he’s been at PPG since the mid point of the season, and a 100 pt pace over the past 20 games. Considering he was at 0.5 PPG prior after missing almost all of last season, it’s quite good that he is managing to pace a 27 goal / 60 point season. He has the higher ceiling of the two players, I wouldn’t be trading him.

 

[CanadienShark]

Both sides decline, but Vancouver does a little more emphatically.

They're both winners because both players are great. Cannucks are lucky to have EP et Habs are lucky to have NS. The future is bright for both teams.

 

[Captain97]

No

 

[BLNY]

Both sides say no. Each player means too much their teams' present and future.

 

[Prairie Habs]

No chance Montreal does this. Suzuki is the Habs future.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

The Canucks should say no due to Pettersson being a big part of the offense in Vancouver and due to the fact that Pettersson is a better scorer then Suzuki.

The Canadiens should say no due to Suzuki being the better centre out of the two players and also due to the fact that Suzuki is under long term 8 year contract after this season and won’t have to negotiate a new deal, as is the case with Pettersson’s contract at the end of the 23-24 season.

 

[JustAHabFan]

Habs will say No. Suzuki is still improving and we really don't know what is his limit.

 

[Sweetpotato]

EP has the higher ceiling but Suzuki was better after getting a new coach.

Neither team does this.

It would take a lot more than EP for me to want to give up Suzuki.

[Dominance]

Suzuki steadily progressing as his team’s offensive focal point.

Pettersson seemingly stalling/regressing and being relegated to a second line winger.

Not saying Vancouver would take the deal, but Montreal would hang up the phone before they even heard the “sson.”

Congrats, I would want more then EP to give up the better center

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

Congrats, I would want more then EP to give up the better center

Congrats, I would want more than Suzuki to give up the better and more established center.

It's good to know a guy who has 32 points in his last 30 games is regressing

Both players have been a lot better since the teams have changed coaches, not just Suzuki, you'd know that if you bothered to any research.

 

[OilerTitanFan]

both players wasting their prime years away and won't see much post season play in their career. Swapping the same crap will yield the same crop results. Just swap and see. If no good, then trade back.

 

[Gstank]

I think Pettersson is the better player but Suzuki has a better contract and is signed longer. Overall its a pretty fair trade but, I would take Pettersson over Suzuki because he is more of a goal scorer and can change the game with 1 shot.

I am curious why you think Suzuki is the better center.

Says the Oilers fan who have wasted the prime years or 2 of the better players in the league

PPG over the last half of the season, and 100 pt pace over the last 1/4 of the season.

He missed almost all of last season, and had his wrist wrapped to start the year. He’s been just fine since.

Better than the Canucks and habs wasting a decade of the sedins and price away. Difference is the 2 of the better players in the league has yet to retire. So the jury is still out whereas look at all the monkey crap the Canucks wasted from Bure to the Sedins. Next up the bunch of hasbeens in the current roster.

Both those teams made a Cup final with those players, what ahve the Oilers done with Mcdavid and Draisalti?

That’s good to hear, I honestly have not watched a full Canucks game since 2021.

Suzuki is also playing at a 100 point pace over the last 20 games and doing so while at centre and his team’s offensive focal point, though.
