    When Pettersson came into the league he was an offensive genius. Now he’s a defensive genius. Defence wins cups. By the end of January the Canucks will be fighting for top spot in the Pacific division.

  • @bshoulder
    @bshoulder День назад +3

    If two superstars being paid multi-million dollars cannot decide to work together on the ice for the common goal, the problem lies with both these men, the leadership group, and the coaching staff. No one says you have to be best friends away from playing, but they are pros, and need to act in a professional fashion when working together. The dysfunction on the ice has been quite evident - when Sherwood, Blueger, and Heinen are your best forwards for several games in a row now, you have a MAJOR problem happening.

    Few thoughts... I have a tough time believing that EP is a Tocchet type player. I'd imagine he wasn't a big fan of the re-signing. His comments / behavior towards Petey's game at the end of last season reflected this. Miller obv is a Tocchet type guy. And I wonder how Petey's resigning affected him. His play and numbers were much better, but EP was now making the huge bucks. Fast forward to this season and EP still not playing like an 11.6 mill guy. I'm guessing Miller has an 'F This' attitude this year and Tocchet is struggling with who he aligns with. Tocchet probably frustrated with PA as well for not giving him what he thinks he needs to be successful. So I don't believe this is as easy as two players not getting along. I think there's bad vibes all around.

    At the end of the day, it is the "team" that wins hockey games and gives you "Compete". I must admit some of Petterson's self-indulging, pouty media interviews have rubbed me the wrong way, as well as the fact that he all but disappeared in the Playoffs last year and, in fact, the latter part of the season since signing his "franchise player" contract.
    It makes sense to keep the player who is most passionate about winning-- like Vancouver fans-- and shows up when it counts. I do not hold competitiveness over Miller's head as at the end of the day hockey is a competitive sport and Vancouver is a competitive hockey market; however, if his personality is indeed overwhelming the rest of the team as some analysts seem to suggest then I would resign myself to moving Miller as long as the Canucks mgmt. make a SMART trade that truly improves the TEAM.

What we should be concerned about is the D-core. They don’t have talent to even possibly be good enough. We need to make some trades to upgrade D then I’m confident forwards & goalies are good enough.

    EP is wise between his ears as he has the best snake oil Salesman Player Agent in the League. Every player is judged/valued by their plus minus ratings and primarily how well they contribute and are willing to sacrifice their body during the Playoffs. He still is weak on his skates and on the puck and would rather dish off to anyone rather than try to carry / drive end to end as an offensive super star can. Who in their right business mind would come out in public last year and offer the protracted red carpet treatment to sign this brooding chap and then pay him the highest amount in Canuck history over an 8 year NTC contract at 11.6 per year based on his past hot and cold performances? Total regular Season points don't mean that much when they are scored against weaker teams or when the entire team is on a scoring roll. His demure personality isn't socially suited to lead the pack on the ice, nor speak fluidly to the media with an A on his Jersey.. Will Millar, the actual heart and soul of this team ask for a trade at the end of this season to an actual Cup Contender if Petey isn't moved or will Tocchet throw in the white towel? If Management can pawn him ( bloated contract) off this season or in the off season for a griity North American first line forward and a bonafide # 2 defenseman, they might save themselves and the beleagered fans the protracted headaches of a Contract that rivals R. Louongo's last steal of a deal. Placing individual Stars on long term Franshise Pedistals at the expense of the team's long term salary cap hit is a fools game many teams get mired down with. As it stands right now, if Hughes goes down with even a one month injury, we won't make the playoffs. Home game attendance is already showing big gaps in the lower bowl. etc etc.

    Canucks have become a dysfunctional team. When you have Elias Petterson making $3 million more than Miller, Boeser, Hughes, Hronek etc ---- and totally NOT living up to expectations as their leading franchise superstar that he was signed to be ---- then you have problems. Last year Miller was in the Top 10-15 League Leaders for goals/assists all season long, but now his personal issues have dropped him down to #144. Boeser is only at #142. Petterson is at #68, which is really poor for one of the Top 10 Highest Paid Players in the NHL. Only Quinn Hughes has been producing consistently and is at #22. The third and fourth line guys like Sherwood and Blueger and Heinen have been scoring all the goals lately. ??? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where the problems are, and why this team is not going to make the playoffs this year.
