Because everyone wants more EP40 takes:
Multiple things can be true.
1. He’s dealing with an injury that hampered his offseason and continues to through the season.
2. That injury won’t get better by taking time off.
3. He should be better than he’s been if he’s playing.

From a rooting perspective it’s actually wildly clutch that Quinn Hughes isn’t playing and JT Miller was traded. Just unconditional American hate.

The Canucks have had a mid-season overhaul that rarely happens for teams in the playoff picture, and the story on how that works out for Patrik Allvin and Co. has yet to be written. Josh Elliott Wolfe...

A lot of this is projection, but it’s nice to think that the #Canucks defence by the end of next season could be a mix of:
Hughes-Hronek
Metey-Willander
D Petey-Myers
with a decent amount of money left to try to upgrade the forward group.

Most encouraging part of tonight’s game - not going into a shell with the lead. Power play helped but they were pushing before then too.
Also, Demko.

I have no idea how Myers ended up in the box but he does usually find his way there so I guess that’s fair

Makar just tried to a Quinn-esque walk along the blueline and immediately gave the puck away. Hughes would never.

Drew O’Connor being incredibly fast on the forecheck created that Filip Chytil chance. Very nice to see speed up front for the Canucks

Really hard to argue that D-Petey shouldn’t get an extended look with how well he’s played in his first three games.
Also becoming much more difficult to see how Carson Soucy at 3.25 makes sense for this team if he keeps playing how he has so far this season.

Maybe Chytil was also just in need of a fresh start

If each Pettersson scores does that count as a hat trick?

I just don’t get why people think a legit top-4 defenceman costs anything less than a 1st rounder.
I can get on board with the price being too high if Pettersson is just a rental, but I would be very surprised if he is just a rental

So I see we’re going to have the same discourse we did when the Canucks traded for Hronek.
The Rangers are going to make the playoffs. The pick is going to be in the late teens. Don’t fall in love with what something could be.

Marcus Pettersson is a more than capable 2nd pairing defenceman. Plays 22 minutes a night, decent amount on the PK

I don’t doubt the Canucks will flip one of their 1sts, but I do wonder which one. More fun outcome would be trading their own and holding on to the Rangers pick.

Based on the precedent from the Höglander penalty the other night the Canucks should get a power play even if the refs missed it
