Friedman: Vancouver and Carolina discussed possible Pettersson trade; VAN and EP resume extension negotiations

[User13452]

Why is it that you only know hockey if you think Aho shouldn’t be in the deal. That’s a rather arrogant stance to take. I’m sure some rational exsist that would make it a reasonable stance to include him.

Moving aho plus for Pettersson is of no benefit for Carolina

 

[UrbanImpact]

I can also 100% guarantee that this has been fast tracked by Rutherford because he has a pending big trade in the works and wants to have cost certainty for next year.

Once we hear of an EP extension , id wager that within 48hrs later, the Canucks will announce a major trade for a player with term.

EP40 - 8 yrs- 11.9 mil per.

TRADE:

To Van
Lawson Crouse
Stecher

To Arizona
2025 1st
Podkolzin
Elias Petterson (D)
Mikhayev

That seems like atrocious value for Crouse.

for Crouse?

as in too much or too little for Crouse?

Canes will take all of their assets and beat that offer for Crouse.

 

[oceanchild]

Moving aho plus for Pettersson is of no benefit for Carolina

That’s a statement that is an absolute.
Pettersson is the better player and that could improve the team if the plus doesn’t impact the roster. If that plus is late round pick it’s clear that Carolina is improved.

It’s not hard to poke holes here

 

[UrbanImpact]

Canes have been after Tkachuk and Pettersson, i think they are keeping their assets for big fish.

 

[SnS]

for Crouse?

Too little.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Too little

I guess my value is off.

But thats 2 prospects in the Canucks top 5 with Podz and EP-Dman.

Along with 1st round pick and Mikhayev whom theyll be able to flip next year for probably a 3rd rnd pick or so at the deadline.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

But this is not what you said. You said he can go where he wants (now).

Yes, the threat of him walking means he can force the Canucks’ hand to send him only where he wants to go. I don’t think any EP trade would happen until this offseason anyways

Why is Lawson Crouse considered in all trades for elite players
Is his contract cheap ?

 

[VainGretzky]

If Pettersson was an upcoming UFA I would wonder what the hell is the GM doing, but he is an RFA so the Canucks are starting an early bidding war that will go up until the draft, Pettersson will return 2 major parts back at the very least

 

[Raistlin]

He is considered undervalued playing in relative obscurity, and has projectable physical tools that playoff teams want.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Lol you serious?

Vancouver's not at the point of NEEDING to trade Petey or we'd lose him for nothing. There is still the potential that we can give away the higher-scoring center but get another #1C, if slightly less explosive offensively. We're also not ready to just blow up the whole thing, so it doesn't make sense to just settle for offense-only guys. Would you guys do Aho + Martinook for Petey + pick?

The Canes have gone through a lot to keep aho around lol he is their ride or die to them he is worth more than Pettersson and they are done with contract stuff. They won't trade aho for pettersson

Your gm just threatened to trade your star is why he is being discussed being moved lol

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Necas/Jarvis + Nikishin + 1st/Morrow/Nadeau

Otherwise Canucks pass and deal Petey elsewhere (if he doesn’t want to stay in Van)

 

[HabsAddict]

Kotkaniemi is enough to make this trade.

If it wasn't brilliant drafting by the Habs, Carolina would never have K and his immense worth.

Extra bottled water all around for the great Habs talent scouts and thinkers.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Necas/Jarvis + Nikishin + 1st/Morrow/Nadeau

Otherwise Canucks pass and deal Petey elsewhere (if he doesn’t want to stay in Van)

If the rumored assets are to be believed, I think the deal would look something like the above. Necas + Nikishin + 1st would be my guess. Maybe include KK and include another lesser asset from the Canucks to simply balance books.

 

[HabsAddict]

Wouldn't it be....a chair fall if the Habs offered Suzuki and a 1st for Pette?

On the other hand we certainly are not contenders.

 

[EXTRAS]

If the package is big enough I'd be into this deal.
Necas + Nikishin + KK
Or necas + Nikishin + 1st

I mean yah can't complain about those packages as long as nikishin comes over. But the problem is his talents may be wasted in Vancouver with Hughes always taking the #1pp dman minutes.

 

[Scoripo Rising]

As a Canucks fan I like this.
Either sign or don't. You've been in Vancouver long enough to know if you like the situation and City. The money will likely not change substantially.

You are holding up all other business from the management's side for absolutely nothing.

It's selfish as hell. If you want out, just say it and it'll be a rough few months but it'll blow over

 

[Cogburn]

If Kotkaniemi was included in anyway in Carolinas offer, I'm even more glad to see Petey and the Canucks getting closer to a deal.

Lmao come aho martinook wouldn’t even been talked about.

 

[LakeLivin]

If, as someone reported, it was Necas plus 5 other pieces I don't think Nikishin would have been one of them. If it was Necas plus less pieces, who knows?

 

[Stephen]

Man, that's one hell of an aggressive management group in Vancouver. I can't imagine many GMs would feel comfortable telling their star forward, in the middle of a great season, that you either re-sign immediately and drop the whole 'wait until the offseason shtick' or get traded.

Well, Pettersson hasn't signed yet, so will have to stay tuned to see what the resolution is.
