Grandmaster Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I would consider once the Pens are officially out, Petey for Crosby straight up. Pens got to realize Crosby is 37 next year and Canucks realize Crosby secures us a Cup this year. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we move Pettersson it'll probably be in the offseason when more teams have roster/cap flexibility, which means more teams would be able to bid Crosby is a legend but if we're trading Pettersson we need to acquire pieces that'll help us manage a more sustainable window Crosby doesn't guarantee us a cup imo, hockey happens, we just saw a juggernaut in Boston get punted in the first round last spring, I'd much rather acquire younger pieces who could contribute to multiple runs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because then Petey would be the only one. shh his points are the result of his mikheyev kuzmenko laffety hoglander suter cole myers zadorov soucy driving the play and he just happened to touch the puck or got lucky with his shot. his 10 gwg is irrelevant coz the team would have won even if he didn't score 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 there's way too many people complaining about EP falling down.. EP is listed at 176 lbs.. but 6'2" he's tall and skinny and lightweight.. it doesn't matter how strong on the skate you are.. his center of gravity is higher than the average player in the NHL.. base on the law of physic momentum and gravity.. he's going to fall over 10x easier than the average player in the NHL when he's hit.. the only way to get around that is if he somehow puts on like 15-20lbs and bulk up.. unrealistic.. he's engaging in board battles and willing to go to the dirty areas.. getting knocked down is part of it nothing he can do.. do you rather him float around the middle of the ice avoiding hits just so he can satisfy the lots of you complaining he falls down a lot? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got to spend more time on the unicycle. Just look at that Hoglander booty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I'm being serious he's built like the Sedins were at his age before they bulked up to 190 and they were strong af on the wall. EP has Elias at 185 which I think is about right. You can tell his upper body is much more thik than it was a year or 2 ago. He's gotta work that booty though. You're right he probably can't and shouldn't add much more bulk to his torso, but taking leg days seriously probably wouldn't hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do you become the 5th leading scorer in the NHL without being a play driver? Can you explain that? Who is helping Petey get to 105 points? Someone must be driving the play for him right? Who is that player? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for a clip with Petey juggling on a unicycle but I got the interview instead. So Hogz probably tries to follow Peteys routine.

I’m just wondering how that is possible? How is it possible to have more points than Auston Matthews and Leon Draisaitl and not be a play driver? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to trade a player entering into their prime, for an aging superstar that is near the end of his career? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look great on the team before making the playoffs if we meet any of those teams - the Colorado's, Vegas', Boston's, etc. We can't seem to compete with them, and just fall apart under the pressure. But I'd rather this team have its first three game slide now, than in the playoffs. If we're down 0-3 in a series, it's all but over at that point.

I think it fits the eye test - that line clearly drives play more often and consistently (with or without Hughes) than the other three lines.

Take a look above at how Pettersson does with and without Hughes - maybe that will answer your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
