“And the library? Gone! Sealed off brick by brick! We'll have us a little book-barbecue in the yard. They'll see the flames for miles.”
Not really happy with Pete's attitude and not entirely convinced of his star status. He came in talking a lot of the talk and wanting to "Be the best" etc. Wants do not equal facts though. Seems mentally fragile. Is he a single child by any chance?
He could easily be the next in a long line of over hyped Canucks prospects.

He’s really coming along. Big improvement from the start of the season. At this point, there’s pretty good reason to hope he will regain form although probably not all the way until next season.
Why would it change? People said if the price was right, the price has just gotten higher. Gretzky got traded anyone can be traded for the right price

So there is not point in even having a poll…
Perhaps the question should be,
If you voted to trade EP at his suckiest point this season, do you have sellers remorse because his value has risen???
He is a superstar and will win the Hart Trophy and Stanley Cup with us.

If that's the return (dreamland), then 100%. Just to say we had 3 brothers play for one team would be pretty epic.

God I absolutely love this movie.
One of the best in my books.

Alexander Romanov
1st round pick
That was my favorite from here

This post is not aging well. He's still the best player on the team, even if he's had a bit of an off year. With Hughes and Demko playing top level, and Podkolzin rising, we have a decent core for next year.
Some wild takes in this thread based on a poor streak by EP.
I voted no to a trade as I don’t think there’s any realistic scenario where we win such a trade.
Even during the slump I was always confident he’d figure it out. He’s just too talented not to. Long run I think he becomes a top 10 Center in the league who plays an elite two way game. You just don’t trade those players.

That might be from me but if Wright becomes a 100 point o’reilly on steroids and Romanov passes sergachev we win the trade. Especially when ep might get 10 million by the time we complete. hate it on it all you want though. Lol
Poehling was my bad though, didn’t realize he regressed so much. It would have to be their next best piece behind Caufield instead.
Perhaps some of those that voted they aren't interested in trading him can illuminate something for me.
You're choosing not to trade a player even for a clear overpayment, which was one of the options. You aren't comparing keeping him with making your team worse-you're saying you aren't interested in making your team better by taking an overpayment for your star.
What is it that causes you to want to keep a young player rather than improve your team by accepting the huge return necessary to be an overpayment for your star?

It’s not true that an overpayment will improve the team. You could get a boatload if picks for him as an overpayment. But quantity usually isn’t better than quality— those picks may take 2-3 years from draft to be impactful, setting the team back, and that’s banking our scouting team to hit each pick. The chances of these players being as impactful as Pettersson is low.

Yeah trade a 23 year old top line player for 2 maybes who may be half as good as Pettersson and a bust. Absolutely genius

The idea of overpayment is relative. Your idea of overpayment could be my idea of underpayment and vice versa. I read the poll option as "Would you trade Petey for a forum consensus overpayment right now?" rather than "Would you trade Petey for your idea of overpayment?"
At the time this thread was made, Petey had 17p in 35 games and a large part of this board had borderline given up on him. His value was at absolute rock bottom and he didn't look like an impact player.
A "clear overpayment" for a struggling player on pace for 40p still isn't enough for me to part ways with a player I believe is actually an 80+p player when healthy. I thought there was much more upside to holding onto him rather than selling him at his lowest - even for a slight overpayment of that lowest value.
