Eat or be eaten
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Easy there Doc.

Your fellow Petey apologists are going to get upset with you.
I was merely speaking in generalities.

We don't know what all Miller said/did.

I am on record with being okay with a Petey trade if we get good value back.

Yes I hold out hope he will return to his top form.

Don't we all?

Pretty much this. Well said.

As Blobby also said - the sweater. Not the player is what matters. I just don't think they would get good value back at this time. And even less when his NMC kicks in.

Best case is he returns to form, just not seeing it this year unfortunately.

Even if it means you don't eat for another 5-6 years?

I don't pretend to know but can the Canucks send Petey to the AHL for a conditioning stint?

I wonder if riding the bus for a few games would help him remember how nice life in the NHL is?

Not without clearing waivers.

Current road trip could be used as an experiment. Dirty doggy it from salt Lake to LA and then back home via Seattle.

See where his head is at after that.

If they place him on IR, I believe there is a pathway to send players down on conditioning stints for a limited time. Jordan Eberle was assigned to Seattle's AHL affiliate last week for that very purpose.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

With a detour to Spokane. That should smarten the young man up.
