DownUndaCanuck Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Not bad but I think NYR gives us too much in the Petey deal, maybe drop off Schneider (he's not that good anyway) and we probably have to add a mid-round pick or prospect like a 3rd rounder. JEE would be hard to get, he's a solid young relatively good two-way center. You know what would really hurt, and who needs a top line center? Boston. TO BOS: Petey TO VAN: One of Coyle, Zacha or Frederic + one of Lindholm or Carlo + 1st We trade a 100pt young two-way center for a 60ish point center with size, a top-4 defenceman and a 1st. If we want to contend now, we go after Coyle + Lindholm, if we want more future we go after Frederi + Carlo (but makes less sense). Then flip the first +/- our first +/- Kuzmenko for a top-6 solid scorer. Do we dare do a 1st + Kuz + prospect for Lindholm, or 1st for Monahan? I'd give up two late firsts for Crouse, or Kuz + 1st if that'll do.

Interesting proposal. I too have been thinking about whether it might be time to move EP40. What was the impetus for you making this proposal? -was it that Petey is being coy about whether he wants to stay in Vancouver? (Though he has had luke warm statements of how he likes Vancouver). -is it the massive contract that he will sign this summer, that would in all likelihood hamstring this team from a cap perspective? (Considering our reduced cap from the OEL buyout). I believe that your valuation for EP40's worth is approximately correct. My thinking is that Petey would be worth the equivalent of 4 first round picks. In your Ranger proposal, I would like to see Zibanejad replaced with Kakko and the first round pick (it will be a late first) replaced with Othman. Not sure how to make the cap numbers work for both teams. Would probably have to tweak the proposal with a view to making the cap work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 EP40 won't go this season. if any, it could be summer time. and management is checking if this core can win the cup. if we didn't go deep in playoff, then yes, EP 40 could be moved. otherwise, he will probably sign short term like 10 mil x 4 years. then at age of 29, sign retirement contract, here or somewhere else.

Really? Petey decimated the 2nd line to where they are not producing at all now. How was Boes and Miller doing BEFORE the Lotto line got reunited? They were doing pretty good. No? Let me ask you this, say Miller gets injured? Is Petey going to keep the Lotto line afloat? No 2nd line, so now we are relying on our third line to carry us? Many on here say Petey is our #1 Center but is he really? He is definitely not our #2 Center so then is he now a winger? All of these question marks has me seriously thinking about team CHEMISTRY. The argument when Bo was here was who was the #1 Center, Bo? Petey? Miller? Miller has always seemed to me to be the #1 Center so having Petey play on the Top line brings up a lot of questions more then answers IMHO. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be saving the team and us from a lot of distraction. How is this not a distraction and how is this any different then what Bo did? We have like 11 players that have expiring contracts? You don't think they are wondering what their next paycheck is going to look like or if they are going to play here or somewhere else? Having a salary cap means that Petey's situation directly relates to them, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller is severely underrated and taken for granted here. He's the engine for the offence up front. Practically anybody that has played on his line has produced. 1 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like him do not come along very often yet he doesn't get the respect he deserves. In the playoffs, I would much ratehr have a #1 Center like Miller then Petey, no offense to Petey but Miller is much better suited for the rigors of playoff hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made this proposal because I have yet to here a direct quote from Petey himself that says he loves Vancouver and wants to stay here. All I have heard is that he doesn't eant to negotiate during the season and wants to wait until the offseason. He said this even yesterday. That doesn't mean he wants to leave necessarily, but even Rutherford was candid enough to state that if a deal doesn't get done then Petey will be traded... I believe the valuation is fair, however if there are no other teams with better offers then we might have to take out the 1st round pick from the deal... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
