I wouldn't trade any of the top 5 prospects in the system for Petterson. I'd trade a couple of the 1st round picks in the Flames pocket with a Poirier, Morin, Suniev type and a Pospisil. If that doesn't move it for the Canucks, oh well.
I trust Conroy to make smart trades, he's done well enough.
I still think Petterson is the kind of player you have to at least go a couple rounds of talks over though, just to see if you could do it.
The Flames have a solid prospect depth, they could make a deal work for a center with their combined assets without getting into their top5, trick is to find that happy medium.

Conroy took Alvin and the Chipmunks to the cleaners in the Lindholm deal. I suspect they know it as well.
No way they trade their top forward for 3rd and 4th liners.
If we had a Pettersson on our team would you be looking to trade him for a late 1st a 3rd liner in Pospisil and Suniev?
We hardly have a core right now. Likely 1 of them is gone in a trade for that type of player.
