Proposal: Get Elias Pettersson some Wingers!!

[DownGoesMcDavid]

EP40 is playig with AHL/waiver worthy scrubs on his wings. How he is doing what he is doing and putting up points is beyond me.

His most partenered up line mates this year are Loui Eriksson and Nikolay Goldobin. Eriksson is a good 3rd line checker at this point and Goldobin went pointless during the 2 weeks EP was injured. SCRUBS.

Boeser has played with EP40 but when everyone is healthy, Boeser plays with Horvat.

So get EP40 some help !

Please note, the Canucks are still rebuilding so they are not quite ready to mortgage top picks and top prospects for immidiate help.

*Lets keep Nyalander out of this* As mentioned the Canucks arent ready to move young pieces or picks.

Most likely the Canucks will find help for EP40 via feee agency. There are some fantastic players hitting the market this summer


Panarin
Stone
Silfverberg
Simmonds
Skinner


However , the canucks should turn over every stone and ensure there isnt a great trade option they are passing up.


Possible Baits.

Tanev
Edler
Hutton
Juolevi ( unlikely)
Gudbranson

Virtanen ( unlikely)
Gaudette ( unlikely)
Baertschi

Markstrom
Nielson

Picks
2019 - 2nd rnd pick
2019 - 3rd rnd pick

2020 - 1st rnd pick ( unlikely)
2020- 2nd rnd pick
2020- 3rd rnd pick

if you want him to get wingers then trade him to a team with good wingers /s

That’s absurd. Pettersson is in untouchable status and rightfully so. What the OP suggests is far more reasonable and likely.

i was being sarcastic

 

[ChaoticOrange]

You’re not likely going to fetch good wingers dealing rentals, spare parts, and scrubs like Gudbranson.

You’re ahead of schedule rebuild wise and have money to play with come the offseason. Be patient and stay the course.

They should rescue Mark Stone from the Ottawa Senators' dumpster fire.

Pointless to give up assets for him when he is UFA in summer. Im almost certain that he will be Canucks #1 target in Off season

i'm also lmost certain that the canucks won't be his #1 target in Off season

We shall see.

Money talks and living in a city like Vancouver can be very convincing.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Take Ritchie and silf.

Silf can be a good line mate, and Ritchie can protect him.

 

[Calad]

Namestnikov would likely fit pretty nicely on EP40's wing, a 2nd is all it would take

that's true. that's why i see them getting a different "big-name" free agent

Cost for Ritchie?

And silfverberg is free agent. We can wait for him. Were not going to compete this season.

Pretty hard to tell coming from you.

 

[JuniorNelson]

Canucks are competitive. Petterson is producing. Ticket sales are brisk. Canucks had all Summer to build a unit around Petterson and did not. I totally doubt they make any upgrades at forward. They have zero goalie depth which may force an emergency move and use up assets.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Sprong for Virtanen + pick/prospect

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Such as who ?

And why isnt Stone big named enough ? Love his game. Would fit like a glove beside EP40

 

[CraigsList]

Vancouver needs to stay put. They need to see if they could land a solid UFA in the offseason, or find winger suitors for EP in 2020. I think this should be one more building year for them.

jake gardiner.

i never said stone isn't big named; i said jake gardiner was big named.

 

[mikeyp24]

Just want to say get your hopes up on Panarin. If he decides to leave here its going to Ny/CA/Fla... he wants big city and large russian culture. Ive lived on and off in Vancouver and I swear I thought it was Asia sometimes haha and Vancouver IMO top 5 beautiful city on the planet dont get me.wrong but I think its beaches or NY for Bread if he leaves. I dont see VAN having the russian culture he misses.


Side note if I could move to Deep Cove right by North Van... I would live my life a happy man but it was not meant to be haha

 

[CodeE]

Keep Boeser on his wing and find another 2nd line winger for Horvat

 

[gianni]

Long term, Elias Pettersson's eventual linemates will likely be Brock Boeser & Jonathan Dahlen. But if the Canucks are able to sign Artemi Panarin & Mark Stone next summer, that'd make for an awesome forward group.

jake gardiner.

i never said stone isn't big named; i said jake gardiner was big named.

We shall see, but likely no thanks. He's a poor performance away, in another elimimation game, from going full Ray Finkle.

 

[justafan22]

Connor Brown can be all yours in the summer for a 2nd or 4th + prospect
