That should have been the priority. Sure if a club is dumb enough to trade away a #1 center, you have to go for it. Zegras is not a #1 Center Quote
Weave Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 I wish I could find where I read it. Damned insomnia. Apparently the door may not be closed on Petterson? Canucks to evaluate whether they have made enough change to get where they want to go. I’d guess it would be a post season move/decision at this point. Quote

Archie Lee Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 Just now, Huckleberry said: I read somewhere that if they traded both they would be completely rebuilding and also will trade hughes. The follow-up trade last night for Marcus Pettersson, seems to signal the Canucks are planning to stick it out through this season. M. Pettersson is a significant upgrade to Desharnais. If Elias Pettersson is now dealt, I think it will happen in the off-season when there will be far more teams with the cap space to make such a trade. Quote
Flashsabre Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 I was just thinking wouldn’t it be peak Adams if he pulled off a trade for Elias Petterson for Cozens and Byram but he never read the fine print and the Canucks send him Elias Petterson their young dman instead.😛 1 Quote

Rutherford said he would trade one or both if he thought it improved the team. At some point the NMC kicks in for Pettersson. Not sure when. Quote

I read that too. Seems really strange that one minute you pay EP $11M, and within one year you have this issue with Miller and EP, which leads him to thinking of trading Miller, EP, and Hughes. Makes me wonder if Rutherford is losing it. Quote

Its interesting how they’ve changed the entire personality of that roster in two trades on the same day. While KA sits on his hands. Quote

However, this offseason (assuming he still is the GM) he needs to make some roster moves to improve this roster. 3 Quote

While KA sits on his hands. Two years ago they kept Miller and traded Bo Horvat. Not sure if the Canucks have a plan or if they just shoot from the hip. But Rutherford has GM'ed 3 Cup teams so. (?) I recall reading that Rutherford recommended Botterill to TP. Going way back, I remember Rick Martin fired a slap shot at Rutherford (Penguins goalie at the time) and the shot knocked the glove right off of his hand. The puck and the glove laid there behind the goalie, it didn't go in, but was close. The Aud was buzzing by that one. People were talking, laughing, and whispering and the place felt electric. I could not believe it either, another new hero arrived. 2 Quote

Sure if a club is dumb enough to trade away a #1 center, you have to go for it. Zegras is not a #1 Center As you know, I'm all for acquiring 2 RHD to play in our top 4. As to Zegras, I agree that he probably isn't a true no. 1 center. However, he is a gifted playmaker, is on a more reasonable contract @ 5.75 for one more year and then he's still an RFA. Injuries have also slowed him this year and last and therefore he'd probably come much much cheaper than Pettersson. From a Sabres perspective, he's only a 1 year commit if his game doesn't return to form, but if he does get things going again, then he's an RFA which we can re-sign long-term is desired.

Just seems like a guy we are trying to get away from. But maybe worth a shot, especially if we like Tage on the wing now I love Kulich but we can't expect him to be the #1 center going into next season kinda sad, been terrible for a decade and still don't have a bonafide #1 center. well we did have one but somehow ***** that up lol Quote
