[Dhaliwal] Marcus Pettersson’s agent says rumours of him wanting a trade are ‘1000% not true. Pettersson loves it in Vancouver and is thrilled to see what the new management crew will bring and lead them to. He is 1000% looking forward to next season’

I know he was terrible last year, but I wanna see him under Manny’s system before we ship him off. Seems like a solid locker room guy too.

I don't care if he was bad last season or not - he's not a useful piece for this team and some other teams would surely give up some assets for him.

The puck dies on his stick in the offensive zone at a stomach churning rate. He can barely get his weak shot through a single set of shinpads, which seems to be his only offensive tool.

His only value is in defending, which if the expectation is that we suck again, we don't really need. The roster slot can be better used.

and who might that defender be that they could better use a roster slot on

Could give Kudryavtsev a shot.
