Thanks Pal, and the beef with Mëds is just that. I see posters bringing their best, providing news, insight and analysis. Then he just lays it at a value of one player. Its a team game. And the owners pay the salaries.
You don't like my style. That's fine. I also don't care for yours. That's ok. You decide you want to troll me for my takes? Ok, expect that I will be an asshole to you in return. Historically, Mëds has never fired the first shot that is not in jest.
I would love to see Petey moved for a 1st, a prospect and no retention. He is a problem, and isn't woth the $$$. For a contender.

His contract isn't the issue. Its a dog whistle for people like Mëds who can't see the bigger picture, or a reality of trading a damaged asset.
Why is he a problem? Because of the contract? Or because of something else? I mean, you say it's not the $$$.

If it's because of attitude and work ethic, then is that not a problem for a rebuilding team that needs quality character to mentor young up and comers?

You say his contract isn't the issue? I fail to see how it is not. If he was being paid $8M per, and pumping his current rate and providing his current level of defensive play, several things would be true.....

1. He would be a very, very, good 2C on a team that could then afford to shell out 8 figures for a legitimate 1C.

2. He would be a desirable asset that other teams would look at without the need for the team to retain.....should the desire/need arise to move him.

3. He would be someone producing to to a level commensurate to his contract, and such a player, with his observably high hockey IQ would be useful for young players trying to find their way in the bigs.

Which is it? The contract or the player? Or is it both?
Thanks for the reply Mëds, some posters pointed out a flaw in my posting, as it relates to you - so happy to switch that up.

Pettersson (happy?!) posts aside, happy to discuss the Canucks. But won't be discussing Swedes with you going forward.

Merry Christmas Pal.

I tried. He wouldn't let me. The guy is straight up draconian.

It’s nice not being in the middlie of a CC bruhaha for once. We need more foot soldiers, too many good men going down. We need to just get along. I treat this place like I’m a member of the Terminal City Club or the Vancouver Club because I don’t have the Donny bucks and members votes to get voted in to the real thing cause I’m a riff raff. Club CC is the next best thing.
Hey Trump, I’m ANTIFA.
