This seems good package, depends on picks protection, but still Canucks are too deep invested with this roster to settle for future only

Picks are top 3 protected but if Canucks fans arent happy with that we can change it to protection only if 1rst overall

And we don't have much other than futures on this team tbh...

As much as I like Pettersson, this will cripple the Habs. Swap Dach with Pettersson and there’s still 2 holes in Montreal’s top 6. You’re putting all your eggs in one basket and relying on Hutson to become a superstar. If not, there’s no high end D on the Habs and a big hole on the right side - Mailloux and Barron is not what you want.

If Pettersson was signed long term to a value contract, then maybe, but once he signs what he deserves to get paid at $12M+, his trade value diminishes. There are very few top teams that can absorb a contract like that without giving back a large one that Vancouver doesn’t want, and for the teams that can fit Petey’s contract under the cap, it’s really high risk to mortgage the future.

I understand that a Pettersson trade would be astronomical but giving up 3 top 5 picks as well as another top 10 pick would be horrible asset management by the Habs during a rebuild.

Canucks pass, if Pettersson isn't signing in Vancouver he certainly isn't in Montreal

Agreed we shouldnt do it, just wanted to see if that would be fair according to both fanbases.

Habs gotta trust the process and not rush things

Based on Pettersson said?
He wants to play for a winning team Montreal isn't, Vancouver is
If he wants money both Montreal and Vancouver can provide that but why would he downgrade the team for no reason?
So it leaves market as the last option both teams are in a huge market so wouldn't make sense for him to move to a Lateral market if not worse with him having to learn Another language.
So money and market are lateral and Vancouver can provide a winner as were Montreal will take a long time to do so, so why would Pettersson exactly leave the best team in the leauge for team that's been a bottom feeder since 2021
