I'd be happy if Petey put on 10 pounds of muscle. All in his core and legs. I get he's worried he'd lose speed. But the extra strength and stability will probably make him a far better player.

The Sedin's stopped falling down eventually.  They were fitness nuts and I don't think ever gained a tonne of weight.  Petey should take a page out of their book.  Hopefully he's working on his core.

So blame Toronto.

Nylander makes $11.5 million.

Petey is a better player and makes a fraction more.

I'm ok with this. But now the pressure is REALLY on Petey.

Nylander on other hand feels like he's better

Pesce would be great but don't think we can afford him AND Tanev.

 

I wouldn't hate bringing Cole back for a bit less either

 

Hughes, Tanev/Hronek

Cole, Tanev/Hronek

Soucy, Zadorov 

 

Cole - Tanev would be a lovely shutdown pairing but I worry about longevity of that pairing. Cole is 35 and looking slower and older now. Tanev, as good as he looked in Calgary, is just over 34 and you know he's going to have a hard playoffs again.

 

Skeij would be lovely, a big physical shut-down 29 year old. Give him 6M x 3 or 4 or even 5 years. Myers-type deal but Skeij is very much proven. Plant him under Hughes and we can rotate any old RD around him. I'd happily spend 10M on Sjeij and Tanev, let Cole and Myers' 8M walk and make up the extra cash elsewhere

So bike trips, and Grouse Grind?

I really hope this is why he's been so distracted lately.

Others have been struggling too however as for Petey sake with this now behind him he can focus more on his game instead of contract talks

Once his contract is signed I bet we get our old Petey back. I need to see more smiles from him. I hate how distant he has been all year.

we're witnessing a 2011 type of season rn. all business

Keeping talent in Canada is so hard now, this is pretty impressive. He could have easily pulled a Tkachuk and not looked back. 

Nux, oils and Leafs keep their stars.

I find Swedes are a lot more polite than Americans
