Eichel trade obvi

Description
I think the only way he is moved is in a lateral trade 1 for 1 with any small add that may be needed(minor add). EP is younger and can be signed longer term but is a slight downgrade. JE is better and might cost a bit less than EP in the end

Thoughts??

The difference is Elias Pettersson as never indicated in any way he wants out of Vancouver. This trade is at best a lateral move for the Canucks, but undercuts the core of the team, and from a PR and Marketing perspective it’s suicide.

Not only that, but eichel for 5 years at 10 million per year is guaranteed worse than whatever Pettersson signs for

Interesting, do you believe EP is a top 5 1C?

If you compare points per game rates at similar ages (eichel from 2016/2017 - 2018/209. Pettersson from 2018/2019 - 2020/2021) they are pretty comparable, with eichel being a bit better. Goals per game over the same time age range is also very similar.

Defensively, from an analytics point of view, Pettersson is much stronger at preventing chances against compared to eichel over the course of their careers.

However, I honestly don’t watch Eichel enough to say which player is better, but the idea that Pettersson is a downgrade from eichel is easily contested imo, based on scoring rates and underlying analytics.

A lot of very good points. The only thing I would add to support why I felt he is a downgrade(and not by much) is the lack of support JE has in BUF. The PP is much better in VAN, wingers are much better in VAN.. but yes, they are very similar which is why I had initially had it 1 for 1 in the trade.

Yeah I was thinking about supporting cast. Pettersson hasn’t necessarily had the best supporting cast around him over the last three years, but eichel’s obviously been in a worse situation. If he does get traded, it will be interesting to see how much his scoring goes up by
