Stauffer: “Is Elias Petterson going to get traded?”
Dhaliwal: “Okay, so right here’s the cope with Pettersson. Okay, let me say this: each week there’s a brand new Pettersson rumor. The newest one is the Penguins are after Pettersson’s, Pettersson. Groups checked in for certain. I do consider Pittsburgh has a point of curiosity in Pettersson. I’m not listening to the rumor that the Canucks have requested for Ben Kindel, who’s a Vancouver native, former Calgary Hitman, by the way in which. No means the Penguins are going to surrender such a promising younger participant like Kindel for a nasty contract.
Right here’s what’s occurring with Pettersson. The truth is he’s bought a no-trade clause. Groups name. Groups which are determined at middle name. I checked in morning. Pettersson has not been requested by the Vancouver Canucks to waive his no-move. That tells you proper there that there’s nothing shut.
NHL Rumors: Winnipeg Jets, and the New Jersey Devils
Groups test in. One staff instructed me that at $8 million, Pettersson’s definitely worth the threat. He’s not definitely worth the threat at 10 or 11. They’ve been making an attempt to commerce this man for 2 years, Bob. There’s no motive why it hasn’t occurred.
Groups need retention. Some groups need Vancouver to take unhealthy, again unhealthy contract. It’s not simple to maneuver one of many worst contracts in hockey. This man went from 100 factors to 50 factors to 50 factors. That’s powerful to maneuver at S11.6 million.
The most certainly state of affairs is he’ll be at coaching camp. They’ve been making an attempt to maneuver him for 2 years. They might have moved him at this deadline. They might have moved him on the NHL draft. They might have moved him earlier than July 1st. If it didn’t occur at these 3 times, like what makes it, loads of groups spend some huge cash on July 1st. You understand, perhaps they don’t have cash for this man anymore.
So, anyhow, look, the Canucks are going right into a rebuild. All people is aware of that. His identify is on the market. Groups test in. I don’t suppose something’s gotten shut. They’ve by no means requested him. They’ve by no means sat him down and mentioned, ‘Hey, we’re shut with this staff. Would you go there?’ I don’t know if he’s going to waive Bob.
In eight years in Vancouver, he’s solely made the playoffs twice. He’s by no means requested for a commerce. He’s by no means requested. Final two years have been horrible for this child. He’s by no means requested out. He’s bought two highly effective brokers in J.P. Barry and Pat Brisson, who orchestrated the Quinn Hughes commerce out of Vancouver. So you already know what? Quinn Hughes requested to get out. Pettersson hasn’t requested to get out. If Pettersson needs out, J.P. Berry and, and in addition Pat Brisson, they’ll get him out.”
