Thread: Petterson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aasen6</b></div><div>Petey is so much better than stone and eichel you can’t even compare them not to mention eichel returned the package he did coming with a serious neck injury. Tkachuk returned a top 5 winger at the time in Huberdeau, a very good d man in weegar and a 1st an Calgary still completely lost the trade. So yes if you want Petey you’ll have to give up a ton, otherwise enjoy getting a guy like Scheifele if you only wanna give up that package.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>Pettersson is much better than Eichel and Stone were. Tkachuk was also traded for a 100 point, top 5 winger in the NHL, a top 20 RHD, and a first. That’s a lot better than what you have here. And guess what? Calgary still lost the trade. Not a single one of the pieces here even come close to getting a player of Petterssons caliber. It is completely insulting to not even offer a guy like Slafkovsky, Reinbacher, or Suzuki for a guy like Pettersson</div></div>

These are good points, maybe they do add a top young player like that, but what they will probably do is try to pull off an Eichel or Stone type trade. If that is not Petterson then that is fine, as long as it is another star. Seguin to Dallas was probably a better example than Tkachuk in terms of assets in return.

Thread: Petterson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>Only if you're placing no value on top 10 unprotected picks which i find kinda weird.
I value them over always injured Elias Pettersson ... we got enough of those guys to last us a lifetime...
Savard is solid , he's just a defensive D so most Fantasy Hockey Fans dont get his value but it only exposes their lack of knowledge .

I get people like EP
But i love Owen Beck cause he's a dick who plays mind games like Marchand or Shaw.
But he's also a solid Ambidextrous faceoff Center who likes to play mind games there too.
I'd say he's more similar to Marchand as he's not easily baited and only is willing to take a penalty if a better players going with him.
He's something we dont have and something we can use long term behind Suzuki and Dach at 3rd Center Position.
My Favorite reason though is his Chemistry with Lane Hutson on ice as someone distributing the puck to lane at high volumes like Beck can is ideal for MTL.

Those picks could both end up being top 10 so MTL could end up with the High End Winger with Size we need for our top line going forward.
What he brings we dont need in MTL as long as Dach keeps playing well and is worth investing in that is.
So maybe call us in a year, if Dach craps the bed we'll talk</div></div>

Good post. Some people think mtl is giving up nothing in this trade. Either way, MTL should use some of their assets to get a star like Petterson to match Suzuki and Caufields primes. Maybe a tougher player…

Thread: Petterson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>We know he can at the right cap hit,its been proven.
TBL paid that too for him to be a 6/7th D but mostly they paid so MTL among others Couldnt.
It was a smart call as MTL with Savard vs TBL atleast makes that series close as TBL smoked us due to our lack of quality depth(Merril was our Savard lol)

But my point is Savard the way he's played as of late at 1.75m with RS
Someone will pay a 1st even if its just to make sure other teams cant have him.
Its why Tomas Tatar's got so much from VGK their 1st year in the league.
They didnt want PIT or STL to have him and it was the right call in the end.

Also i feel while this may be fair-ish
I'd rather keep the top 10 pick and Beck
Besides the way CGY is going thats possibly 2 top 10 picks

More important my Screensaver is Suzuki putting Petterson down hard into the ice when Petterson went through Center Ice with His Head Down that Covid Year where we played Canadian Teams only and MTL lead by Toffoli lit VAN up hard. Suzuki isnt Soft but he's far from Tough, He only looks tough because of how Soft Pettersson is and it didnt stop with Suzuki as a matter of fact Josh Anderson rode him over the boards into MTL's bench with authority to.

MTL has plenty of those types.
If we're giving up potentially 2 top 10 picks and Owen Beck i want a Touch Winger or a Power Center for 2nd C.</div></div>

Thanks for the post. It doesn’t have to be Petterson, maybe they can get another star with a bit more sandpaper that becomes available?
