As long as they don't go with the yellow skate home sweaters. Although Lefty's reaction would be priceless, they're hideous. The white is pretty spiffy. My Wife has one I bought for her many moons ago at a thrift store. Still looks good. - Load Management
Also, if you can get a legit older Canucks jersey from a thrift store, those things will outlive the stupid ass Fanatics jerseys by 1000 years. Get something that was actually made well. - NewYorkNuck
For sure. Those older CCM ones are practically bulletproof. I deliberately bought my Adidas sweater before they switched to Fanatics. The quality isn't even close.

Dom wrote a bit on the Athletic about Petey with some fancy numbers people get agitated about in here. Basically suggesting one reason his offense has dried up is that his defensive game has gone up significantly.
"The more likely scenario is that playing “the right way” is the absolute wrong way for Pettersson. The Canucks need to take their Ferrari out of the garage."

Maybe he's a better fit on another team? I'm certain they must have gotten calls. If it makes sense for all parties why not?

I think he is a great fit on this team, pretty much overreaction from many fans that just have never liked Pettersson’s game, and they seem to be the most vocal.
My prediction is he will be at minimum a point per game player this year, at minimum.
And why is he getting grief over 11.6m when it was presented as an ultimatum, sign this or your gone.

I really don't gaf how much he gets paid. Hopefully he picks up his game, if he doesn't, I'm okay with him being moved out of town. Either way I'm good.

Sacrificing some near-term offense for long term completeness of game doesn't seem like the worst thing. The outcry in the midst of a 3 game winning streak though makes you wonder what it will be like if no goals/few points during a losing streak!

Sorry wasn’t meant at you, was more of a general comment on Pettersson and the grief he gets.

No, he's gotta be a 200 foot player if the team is going to have success. Points be damned, they'll come eventually. Reminds me of Mike Modano talking about how Bob Gainey told him the Stars will never win unless he changes his game from pure offense to more of a 200 foot game.
His letter to himself in The Players' Tribune...
"That summer after he (Hitchcock) came in, you sat with him and Bob Gainey, the GM, and you worked out how you could help this team get over the hill and bring a Cup to Dallas. You all decided that it would be best to add some more dimensions to your game, to make you a 200-foot player and those types of responsibilities would be given to all the veterans on the team."
A story in the Athletic when he was working for Minnesota Wild regarding Kirill Kaprizov.
“I remember getting that advice from Bob, and I remember thinking that it was coming from one of the top defensive checking forwards in NHL history, somebody who had a ton of Selkes, somebody whose job it was to check the top offensive players and shut them down,” Modano, the NHL’s all-time leading U.S.-born goal scorer and point producer, said Thursday from his home in Arizona. “It gave me a lot of insight of what goes into the mind of a guy whose job is strictly to go out there to check and neutralize stars. It’s really what led me to have more of a hunter mentality than the guy being hunted.
“Go out there and go after the checker, go after the defenseman, whoever’s out there against you, rather than trying to find open space and trying to move around and trying to get lost out there. When you’re a really good player in this league like Kaprizov, you find nights where you don’t get a lot of touches and you just get frustrated. So being the hunter rather than being hunted is just kinda reversing the tables on everybody. I think it’s good advice for Kirill: Be the guy that initiates rather than sitting back and trying to figure out, ‘Where can I hide out there and where can I get some open ice?’
