<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>Finely worded comment except the bias is still evident (yes we all have a bias). Plenty of VAN fans overvalue their assets and feel MTL assets are worthless. But this goes for all fan bases. Case and point, Garland has absolutely no value to me and I’d much rather have Anderson.

EP is elite, I’m not arguing that. The price is high, and this offer doesn’t get him. But to devalue the pieces offered because you highly value what you have isn’t a nonbias either.

VAN should expect a high return, no doubt. MTL shouldn’t be considering a move of this magnitude for another season anyway so not really sure why there are so many on here honestly. We won’t be willing to move some of the specific pieces that should be requested and y’all won’t accept the alterations we would want to make do to the quality/quantity debate. No we wouldn’t be able to send 50 2nds to equate the proper value but we wouldn’t be very wise to give up the talented young core we have either.

Short story long this is all a moot point because neither team would likely be comfortable making a deal involving EP due to the magnitude and the price tag.</div></div>

I appreciate this! Thanks for a great response.

I am fully aware of my bias, but that is also kind of my point. As a Canucks fan, I see a lot of these and they are often kind of insulting as someone who watches the wizardry of Pettersson on a consistent basis.

And I agree with you: I don't know if trading for Petey, given the acquisition and cap cost, would make sense for MTL at this stage. Trading a high value, young asset like Caufield, Suzuki, Slaf, Reinbacher likely isn't 'the move' right now. Maybe in a 18-24 months after they've built up a greater saturation of talent, and then can make the move as more of a 'finishing piece' in building a contender. Otherwise you may end up in the mushy middle with some good young players, but not a lot coming up behind them...hmmm, sounds familiar...
