Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
[Dhaliwal on Donnie and Dhali] Canucks aren’t getting any indication from Pettersson that he wants to be here long-term. There’s frustration there. I have no intel he wants out. Up until now I always thought EP would re-sign but I’m not so sure now.
I don't know how much is chaff and how much is real... but as the saying goes where there's smoke there's fire... I'm getting a bit fed up with all the media reports over the years about what Petey is happy or unhappy about... dude seems to be such a moody bitch sometimes.
I'm going to be hella pissed if he continues to ignore the reality of this situation and then bounces after this year and never gave the Canucks an opportunity to move him. That's fucked up, fan base would never forgive him.
Yah you're right, I guess he can't exactly "walk"... but if he says he doesn't wanna play here anymore in the off season the Canucks become a bigtime cuckold to every other team
They got a lot riding on this... I'm pretty sure part of the thinking in taking Lindholm off of the Flames was also to cut Kuz's salary for next year... they may have no intention of keeping Lindhom at all past this season, but he gave them a way to improve their offence/defence for this eason and cut $6M from the salary cap next year at the same time. They only need to do that because of Petey's upcoming salary.
That video clip of Donnie and Rick mentions that it is "national media" saying that Petey may not want to sign long term with the team.
I wonder what "national media" person got this inside information about Petey.
You know that the local Vancouver media will keep asking Petey next season if he doesn't sign a long term deal with the team during this summer, the offseason. Like what Rick says in that clip, a hockey mad market like Vancouver has the reporters mainly focussed on the Canucks.
Petey and his agent should make up their mind about what they want in the offseason. Maybe he's looking at the team's playoff performance this season before a making a decision about signing a new contract?

This is the time sports fans and sports media start to get impatient, and if a guy doesn't sign when they want him to, it automatically means there's a bunch of drama and he's probably leaving
Just wait it out.. He's going to take his time if it means he can make more money. Unless you know there's a deadline and it has past, there's no reason to react at all. If that's this offseason, wait until then. If he's an RFA and it's the end of next season, wait until then. For now, just ignore the media, they have to talk shit to have a reason for people to listen to them.
At this point I don't care if he walks, all I know is the Canucks will get a kings ransom for him. Prob one of the biggest trade packages we have seen in the last decade plus.
everything we're hearing right now is just NOISE. rumors and speculation. this is exactly why people dislike/hate the media here and why playing in a canadian market is undesirable to some players.
nothing needs to happen right now for Petey's next contract. he's an RFA next year and can't go anywhere yet anyways. so why get so riled up about it? just because it bothers you personally? or is it constantly brought up because it fuels clicks/views for the media?
i'd rather he focus his efforts on what the team will do heading into the playoffs. he has done nothing but prove he is a big time player and an extremely valuable asset to the team. yet he is constantly blasted with the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately attitude by fans and media alike. same thing happened with the sedins during their time (and worse). all it does is drive players away and fuel hatred/resentment out of nothing.

I've stopped listening to Canucks radio for a long time now for this reason alone. Look I get their job is to talk about stuff on the radio but my gosh constantly talking about the EP contract thing hashing the same points over and over and over again like shut up already. The guy is under contract for the year, he's a RFA, and this can and and very often gets handled in the off season, he said he just wants to play hockey and lets talk about it when we need to. All very logical no matter how you look at it but nope, the fact that he hasn't signed only means he doesn't want to and today I even saw a video from the Hockey Guy whom I like saying maybe its time we considering the possibility of trading him because we might lose him for nothing like what?

i just find it incredible that all it takes is one stick lift or poke at the puck and that play would have been over, yet you can see the moment where mcdavid decides to go in with full confidence that he can thread through 4 players to get to the net.

At the start he swerved them into attempting a line change, and that's what got them all out of sorts in the first place. Crazy shit
The way he looks right, suggesting pass, then blows by Reilly the moment the defenseman does a crossover with his right skate is incredible.
Nugent-Hopkins' pass to McDavid is pretty nice too...

they tried to stick lift him, but he has the speed and the hands. Plus Rangers were caught flatfooted and looking at the puck. When that happens you are screwed as a Dman and usually hope your goalie will bail you out.
Guys like that have a whole library of moves and that's what makes McDavid a god. They try to stick lift him because he throws the bait looking for a lift but he already anticipated the lift as a way of making more room for himself with the defender's stick gone.
You almost gotta play 5D defence. Throw him off by doing nothing
Bains on the PP with Petey and Huggy damn pretty crazy opportunity the kid is getting
