No worries. AAA says Canucks just have to start winning and this will create a winning culture, that will spread rapidly in the Canucks dressing room. This is genius level commenting!

Miller traded yet?

Eyes are starting to turn to Tocchet as being the problem here....hmmm.

Elias Pettersson's most efficient method of producing at 5v5?
Rush Offense, and East-West Puck Movement.

Turns out when you create a system that fails to utilizes your franchise centerman's best offensive tools, their production declines. Who would have thought?

Miller traded yet?

God I hope so. This whole trade drama is such a tease

They're getting crap offers or it'd be done already. Nobody wants that clown. Drama and failure, it's just the Canuck way.

They're getting crap offers for sure, just hope they aren't overplaying their hand. Also would be great if Miller gets fed up enough to accept a trade to almost any other team.

Ya not sure if Tocchet and Petey are the best match... but there are so many other circumstances ongoing at the moment it's hard to say for sure

Jim Benning, the precipitous of abject failure!

For sure, but people are starting to dig into what's causing Petey's lack of offence and they're starting to point fingers at Tocchet's systems.

It's the Tortorella affect, Henrik went from being an 80 center to a 50 point center under Torts, then back to a 75 point center the year he left.

Anyone with a brain

There was a guy on Twitter who did a full breakdown of all of EPs stats and linemates before and after the All Star break last year, and everything in his declining point totals indicates it's the coaching and style of play the team is employing

For sure, but people are starting to dig into what's causing Petey's lack of offence and they're starting to point fingers at Tocchet's systems.

There's some blame there for sure, but also some snippets from a Reddit thread:

- Petey is taking the least shots per game in his entire career, and at the lowest rate since his rookie season. His shooting percentage is also at a career low of 14.5%. His previous low was 15.2% in 2022-2023, but he scored 39 goals and was shooting 75% more per game - 3.21 shots/game compared to 1.86 shots/game this year. Even compared to last year, he's shooting 25% less, and is ranked 233rd in the league for shots.

- Petey's top Skating Speed has dropped over 44% relative to the rest of the league.
(NHL EDGE Data).

- Petey is now one of the slowest skaters in the NHL. (NHL EDGE Data).

- Rick Tocchet often plays Petey with the 2nd and 3rd D-pairs and Miller with Hughes.

- Pettersson has the highest % of Shifts that Start in the Defensive Zone on the team at 5v5 (apparently including defensemen)

Not just Tocc. Petey's clearly not the same at the moment – be that from his ijury, locker room poop, or mental game.

Would be nice if it was some kind of package to Buffalo for Byram
maybe something around Demko + for Byram + Luukkonen? Sign Lankinen for a 2 year 3-4m and run them as your tandem.

I think Demko rebounds next season. Would prefer to keep him around, but if he's the key to fix the defense... Byram for him would be a good get.
