Vancouver Canucks Want To Maximize Return And Remain Contenders If They Trade Elias Pettersson or J.T. Miller
Dave Pagnotta of the Fourth Period was on TSN Radio in Montreal and was asked concerning the Vancouver Canucks and the situation with Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller. Could the explanation why the Canucks haven’t pulled the trigger on a trade for either player has to do with them being contenders to win?

Host: “Does this whole thing change the Canucks viewpoint of where they’re on reflection of contending?”
Dave Pagnotta: “I believe that’s a part of the hesitancy with moving either guy, because I believe they feel they’ve got an excellent window here. And in the event that they’re healthy, and if (Thatcher) Demko is healthy, then I believe they feel they will go on a run with at the least the group they’ve on paper again.
Like this isn’t something that just popped up, this has been on since almost the primary season these two guys were together. There was slightly little bit of animosity there for whatever reason, and it could simply be two various kinds of personalities that sort of clash. However it escalated, but they were in a position to contain it as best they might last season and I mean, last 12 months, they thought they’d a chance to chase the championship as well, a legitimate one.
NHL Rumors: Vancouver Canucks, and the Montreal Canadiens
They gave the Oilers a run for the cash within the playoffs. So, I mean, they still feel in that room overall, if every part is copasetic that they will go on a run. That’s why it’s going to be very difficult for the Canucks management brass to drag the trigger on a deal for either of those two guys, especially in season.
Perfect world they put they let bygones be bygones. They don’t need to have dinner and hang around every single day, but they will at the least be decent around one another, and the room becomes a less stressful environment and all that. I don’t know if it’s going to get there, which is partly why they’re exploring their options. But again, they need to max a return, and the return must be one which keeps them in that contender status. And that’s going to be the difficult a part of navigating these discussions.”
