inb4 some canuck fan says “starts with jiricek AND fantilli or no deal”

I was coming to say the same thing

“Try Fantilli Jiricek 2024 1st and your 3rd born son”

If I'm Vancouver I need Jiricek in the deal. I'd do Pettersson + something minor for Jiricek and your first. I understand if CBJ wouldn't be interested in that but that'd be what I'm looking for

Not nearly enough meat on that bone to consider.

It's a hell of a lot more than they'd get out of an offer sheet compensation. KJ and Sillinger have significant NHL experience already, the 1st is going to be top 5, Ceulemans is a developing probable bottom 4 RD, and Dumais has legitimate potential as a middle 6 winger. That's 5 players they could be adding to the roster within the span of Miller's contract. An offer sheet is firsts in 2025-28 so they wouldn't see the full effect of those picks until ~2031-32 unless they manage to find someone else willing to trade away their star center for a distant bunch of futures.

We need Fantilli coming back

You need to live within the reality that you don't get to dictate circumstances if Petey refuses to sign long term within the next 5 months. Either the Canucks take what they can get, and what they'd be getting here is a seriously loaded package, or they're dealing with the possibility of him signing his QO and walking for nothing after next year.

I have my doubts that Pettersson won't re-sign

Sure, but the story right now is that he hasn't and it's not money that's prevented him from doing so. Until he does Canucks fans get to live with the possibility he's not going to.

I mean it's literally just the simple fact that he said he isn't talking contract in season that's kept him from signing, the story right now is just a nothingbruger for clicks

Nah this is a really good offer. Obviously if I’m the Canucks I push for Fantilli or Jiricek to be included but if they’re both completely off the table this is a really strong offer in the case Pettersson does want out

Btw, CBJ shouldn't trade their young players for Pettersson.
Terrible idea.

Y'all wanna know why the offer sheet is 4 1st round picks? Because that's the price ownership across the entire league deems "that's just too damn much". Everyone can say they are gonna drop 4-5 S+ tier assets picks as fans but when the money is coming out of your pocket no sane owner is ever...ever...EVER going to drop that much assets for one player, even if its Mcdavid. Rick Nash was traded for 2 mid 6 Forwards and a first...and even then Columbus had to add to it. At best if we ever see a package for EP its at best going to be from our end 1st unprotected, KJ, Dumais and Cuelemens (which that is the equivalent of 2 1st round picks, a second round pick and a 3rd round pick with high upside which would be the most blockbuster trade since EK)...anything else McConnel would go "that just too damn much" and every other potential team would do the same thing with equivalent assets.

Plus EP agent should know, and probably does, there isn't that many places he can go with that paycheck he wants, which also reduces the "cost" of the trade. This is just Brisson playing Brisson's mind games ****ing with Vancouver's front office.
