Facts speak for themselves.

From Sportsnet...

#Canucks    Elias Pettersson has not scored an even-strength goal in 30 consecutive games, including playoffs.

He has played 450:29 even-strength time on ice in that time, recording 32 shots.

He's pulling a Vince Carter.

Remember when Vince wanted out of TO, he said he wouldn't dunk anymore, told opponents what plays the Raptors were going to run, and went from averaging 15.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in last season for TO to averaging 27.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.7 assists for the Nets after the trade. Vince even admitted to not pushing himself as hard as he could have.

Classic example of trying to force a trade.

If that's the case, awesome. You don't need people like that on the team. Get his ass out of town asap! Sit him, or play the knee card until he's gone. Give Raty another chance. The good news is the team has shown they can be competitive with his zero production.

Tampa did the right thing by dumping Stamkos. Five games played so far and he's got one goal, zero assists, and is a minus six. Oh, and his team is 0-5-0 to start the season. That stinks.

They gave him a ultimatum. Sign the 11.6 or trade. He's been like this since a month before that... so nothing changed before, during and after. He could have not signed and got the trade. So that makes no sense...

So it's just a minor 30 game slump?

Now you are definitely sounding like Nighthawk. Who the (frank) is suggesting anything like that?

Good grief you are going downhill on here so fast.

Ok, I get it now. You are going to stop the non factual posts until xmas unless he gets it together before then.

Don't believe that either...

Petey for Byfield, 1st and a defensive prospect.

If you haven't noticed the whole market is on this guy's case, not only me. Like it or not something is wrong with the guy. Question is what? I'll leave that for an expert like you to decide.

I agree with Don that his issues are mental. I said it enough times last year as well. You don't have a clue what people are saying because of your tunnel vision.

The last 3 games I have criticized parts of his game. You being Nighthawk 2.0 has you doing the same routine... flipping the comments to fit your obsession. Even the 2024 season Nighthawk isnt as bad as you.

They wont hesitate to trade him at the TDL if he doesnt turn this around.

"obsession" 😂 🛁 🧂

You are acting like a irrational child. Can't even have an adult conversation about it. You can't find someone making excuses for his offense disappearing so you need to project comments that haven't been made.

The fact that you are already claiming you are going to troll me if he doesnt turn it around by then underlines what I'm saying. I am frustrated and sick of him not putting up the points as well. His 11.6 season is now in effect and the top 6 needs to be on point or this team is going nowhere in the playoffs... if they make it. What has you confused is people not acting like children over it. It translates to indifference or denial to you. Good grief...

Why do some so called fans feel the need for overreacting and hyperbole? As you pointed out the team gave him the ultimatum and even leaked about talks with Carolina.
Pettersson isn’t playing to his potential obviously, to make dumb statements of benching him for Raty shows that some here do not watch the intricacies of hockey. He still contributes but even if the guy potted 4 goals and none the game after the same so called fans would be foaming at the mouth.

He does look stoned all the time though.

All true, but a team doesn't pay $11M per for blocked shots and/or defensive awareness. Hell, the canucks are paying $7.8M for a Norris Trophy Dman.

Be lucky to get only byfield at the moment … maybe get a draft pick if you take a contract dump as well

Go nucks but excited to see Mitchkov again. Had to take the over on him for shots - hope he gets lots but they don’t go in

Thought he looked great against Canucks last time and then saw part of game against Edmonton. Hype for real on that kid, does everything and has that offensive flair … so shifty.

Credit to petey for handling pass and making play to hogs, but real play made by garland creating all the space … what a pass!
