I was really disapointed that Petey didn't come into this year having improved something. He has the same tenacity, same strength, same speed, as last year. Most players that are a franchise player (or one of the franchise players) are elite in one of those 3 things.
Quinn Hughes shockingly found a way to improve and move another cog forward in the off-season despite winning the Norris. EP may have dealt with an injury so he gets a partial pass there.
Gotta love Coach Tocchet's pov on playing in the NHL. It's why the NHL hasn't devolved into shinny, as the NBA has devolved to a 'hoops' kinda game. KidsStuff w no defense and soft athletes etc.
i think tochet needs to put his big boy pants and start coaching what he is given. everyone wants a big RH defenseman with offence. the honeymoon Tock has had acting like keenan blowing up the canucks players he doesnt like needs to end.
Canucks fans can't handle having a player that makes 11M+ so Petersson is on the fantasy trade block. He doesn't look great but careers are non-linear. You draft and develop players hoping they play well enough to earn big money. Give it time folks. We're not even half way through the season. Re-evaluate in the summer.
As we know Tocchet was a tough rugged player so he would lean to Miller. However They paid Pettersson big money and play him on second line with third line wingers and feature Miller on PP. imo Tocchet needs to do a better job of getting BOTH guys to be at there best or they have no chance in playoffs to win a series!
The really sick part is Pettersen has already been paid 12million dollars as his contract is front loaded. He doesn’t earn 11.6 this year. He earns $14.5 with a $12 million signing bonus and 2.5 in salary. That’s 20 million 757 thousand Canadian dollars this year. I just vomited.
I don't think anyone wants to run EP out of town and everyone would love to see him dominate out there. BUT, so far on this club he hasn't shown that he can take the team on his back like a Kesler, Sedin, Hughes, Demko or Miller. Yet he's making more than anyone else out there. The reality is that you can't win without the team being cohesive and deep.....both of those EP has complicated this year with his salary. Fans want a cup......will EP get us there? Maybe, but I'd put my money on a team with a deeper D and more guys like JT, DeBrusk, Boeser who can get the mucky goals in the playoffs.
A bit of a strong leap there from this podcast. If anything, the fans chanting "J...T...Miller" regularly in games (and Wrestling games with no JT around) kind of shows where the fans are at. If EP and JT aren't getting along, does management go with the fan favourite, coach favourite and guy who makes 67% of the other guy? Do they go with the physical guy who controls play more (including almost 20% better FO%)? Hopefully it all works out for both, but EP distanced himself from others when signing a contract that he so far can't live up to. Pretty clear who should be leaving town if it has to be one of them....
@richvi-p2o before you act like you are an expert, tell me how you compare to each other in 2 years.... Petey is the future, he will be in his prime when JT is over the hill.
@@tcmanchan LOL.....JTM will continue to win faceoffs, hit players, be an emotional leader, likely set up many plays. He may change his game somewhat but he'll still be very driven. EP may show up in the playoffs or not. He better outperform JTM by ~150% because his salary suggests he should......now and later. In 2 years, JTM will be over the hill, eh?!!! Hilarious stuff. He'll be 33 then. How old is Crosby? Don't count guys out due to their age in their early 30s. What I love is comments like your's "he will be in his prime"......so you're okay with overpaying for Petey right now with hopes he'll catch up to his salary and be a top 5 NHL player? Crazy stuff. If he's not hungry and willing to lay it out now, why would he be in 2 years time? Not an expert, but old enough to know better. That said, I hope EP earns his $11.6M/yr so we can be in contention again.

It's a business not a popularity contest. Tocchet is the Jack Adams winner, you are a nobody in youtube with a bad take on sports.

Sekeres is a goof . Dreger is a Canuck hater. Price needs to find a better sidekick.

Peterson was the biggest rip off
