I'd love Pettersson on the Flames as a replacement for Lindholm, just saying...

More likely Lindholm up and plays with Pettersson.

Pettersson asking for a massive pay day seems like a foregone conclusion at this point but also one that could cripple the Canucks franchise in a couple of years time as they don't have Grade A prospects coming up on cheap entry level contracts and the biggest reason for their success has been their depth performances with their third line in particular. If they are paying Pettersson 12 million plus as well as near 6 for the ghost of OEL. That is a hefty amount that comes out of the depth of the team.

Offer Sheet 14 M lol

Interesting considering how good a team they have right now. Does he have family that is pushing him to the US like Johnny? Or maybe he wants the bright lights of cities like NY or Chicago.

He has an agent who is giving him sound advice to get the biggest possible payday.

But how many picks do we give up if it pries him out of VAN?

Are we sure Petttersen is worth that money plus multiple assets?

Don't think Petterson is going anywhere, this is just a $$ thing.
Not a Tkachuk thing.
But watching Canucks fans sweat about it is fun.

Local media is hyping it as something to be worried about, while admitting that have nothing to base that worry on. It's wild what passes for media locally. Team is running hot and they are scrounging for stories or just making them up so they can stay negative.

Imagine every journalist being Eric Francis or Bruce Garrioch except one or two. That's Vancouver sports media

Your disdain for the media(Seravalli and Taj always making things up) is amusing.

Maybe they're just reporting what they're hearing.

Taj isn't media, he's a random guy in twitter.
Seravalli isn't local.media, but has made #### up in the past.

Its pretty obvious that he wants top dollar and to keep his options open...there should be some "worry" as much as you pretend everything is perfect.

Maximum compensation is 4 first round picks, and Calgary doesn’t have all those picks.

Oh I know; I listen to Canucks radio quite a bit in my car.
They seem like good guys but definitely always panicking about something.

They're fine "people".

Canucks media realized in the late 80s/early 90s that negativity sells. Unfortunately Vancouver sports fans seem to lap it up. Go down the list of big named Canucks sports media main stays, they all went negative. Even during times when the Canucks were good, the stories were negative doom and gloom ####.

All the positive stuff would come from national media, and then you'd have people like Tony Gallagher going "Yeah but..." and then writing articles about how it was all going to go wrong.

Look at this year, you had Thomas Drance, Matt Sekeres, Don Taylor among others, still saying the team should blow it up at the beginning of November. The team was 6-2-1 and the story wasn't about how good the start was. It was that it was an illusion and not blowing it up in the off season was a mistake. ####, I think Drancer carried that torch till Christmas.

I do get that I harp on about media personalities with frequency, but I think how toxic Vancouver sports media is just leaves me with my anti-media-personality pitch fork close at hand.

Swedish players seem to like Vancouver as a city, that said New York takes 3 or 4 hours off the flight home
