This fucking guy...

That on top of his dead dog; it must be unbearable for him.

My god has this franchise had to coddle this kid.

Call me insensitive, but between Brock’s mental fragility, Pettersson’s delicate demeanour and Demko’s knarly knee, this teams core has the strength of a newborn fawn. The lack of team toughness is one thing, but the mental ineptitude of these pathetic spoon-fed Gen Zers is downright embarrassing.

Bunch of pussies representing this team.

No franchise players. A paltry THREE fuckin’ Canadians, zero truculence, no entertainment value, modest prospective youth in the system, incompetent ownership and a superannuated senior staff.

Other than that, I really like the way things are shaping up.

Preach on, Brother Blades

Seriously tho…..

MPetey hasn’t impressed this year. The AAV isn’t bad for a #4, but the NMC makes it an atrocious contract. It doesn’t help that he’s been playing like a #6.

when he was paired with Myers, everyone looks worse.

I submit that a middle pairing dman worthy of $6M does not look that much worse regardless of partner. The partner can lead to a poorer +/- and whatever fancy stats you want to employ, and he may be out of position a bit more often trying to cover for his partner. However, it doesn’t lead to being out battled, outsmarted, taking stupid penalties, and making bad passes, to the same level that we have seen. He has no shot to speak of, and he’s not rushing the puck or handling it with much efficiency.

One can argue he’s a reliable #4 on a team with Hughes, Hronek, and (for example) Tanev, behind a competent forward grouping. He has never shown being worthy of $6M + NMC.

Good thing he makes less than 6.

Good talk. MCP approves!

This is the player rumoured to be coveted by the Canucks in a Sherwood trade. Anyone surprised it is another Swede?

That plus a 2nd round pick from SJS.

[Meds]

Just hope he's not the next Jonathan Dahlen.

[Lancer]

Just hope he's not the next Jonathan Dahlen.

He’s definitely bigger than Dahlen. If Bystedt alone is the return, that wouldn’t be a bad return. Let’s not forget that Sherwood is a middle-six winger.

Besides, he would give you someone else to bash if you get tired of Petey and the other Swedes on the roster.

[donlever]

Not horrible.

Decent size.

Scouted as having good strength.

Can skate.

Was Swedens leading scorer World Jr.'s 2023 with 4-6-10 in 7 games.

26-40-66 in 91 AHL games.

Bystedt and a 2nd is not a bad roi on sherwood.

[theman]

Bystedt and a second....

Yeah, that is probably the fall back option. Canucks probably still hoping SJ ups it to a first.

When you close your eyes and imagine what the Canucks tank looks like, what do you see? A classic German Panther, an Abrams, World War 1 tank that is nothing but tracks, or, the tank on the back of Rothschild's sewage and septic sucking services?

More like the plywood tanks the Canadian Army had in the 30's. Looked like a tank, but everyone knew better.

I think they are more like Patton’s fake army tanks from WW2.
