Makes me think about that Canucks-Sabres deal he floated. Rutherford is not afraid to make big moves and Buffalo is desperate for a change. If Pettersson is not jiving with Tochett or Miller or both perhaps that is enough for Vancouver to move him now before the NMC kicks in next year? There were rumors a Pettersson for Necas swap was in the works last year before Petey signed his extension so it does seem like the Canucks are open to moving him.
I think Calgary would have keen interest if Pettersson was available but I don’t see them having the pieces the Canucks want as Vancouver wants to win now and Andersson/Kadri won’t move the needle I would think? Those 2 guys look like Tochett players but are older and I can’t see the Canucks wanting to move an 8 year deal in the division. Pettersson with Huberdeau would be worth trying out and I think Pettersson would flourish with a change of scenery.
The more I think about it the Buffalo deal kind of makes sense for both teams.

That was Eric Duhatschek.
Maybe Friedman said it too. I remember a few people batting that around even posters here.
