“Seattle trading for EP. Alvin is there… that contract is one of the reasons he was fired… he knows Petey sinks ships… he knows how much he’s over paid”
Huge mistake rest assured Rutherford was in there as well. Henrick saying “EP40 needs to figure out what kind of player he wants to be?” JFC! The guy has been in the NHL for 10 years!!!
All I’ll say is he’s a flake and the team is better off with him.
Constant bs to log in is getting annoying.
Onto EP40. What is in the past doesn’t matter. What McDavid gets paid is irrelevant. They’ve won nothing. That is all on mgmt & now the dregs of lowlifes running their show.
As for EP40 the prime window to trade him came & went. Doesn’t matter what we say or think of him now. All we can hope for is he comes to camp fully committed & in top condition. He has to play out of his funk & mgmt has to move DeBrusk still. I rather look at the bigger picture there will be 2-3 years of draft & develop. Same time for MM to install his system & culture change. No rush to bring in prospects let them marinade & force onto the team &/or call ups. Tanking for a minimum 1 season has to be part of the plan. Maybe around year 4 or 5 is when to expect PO pushes possibly year 3 if things take off. Cup contending to far down the road to even speculate on.
I want to see fast north south hockey & call ups to get experience. 100% commitment to top physical condition. Motors that don’t quit. W’s & L’s idc about I want ops to be pushed to the max against a hard to play against team night in night out. More banging & bruising.
Remember all the grief Linden caused when he let the cat out of the bag that Benning wasn’t sold on EP and had to be “over rode” on the pick? Even after Benning only gave EP a 3 year deal over concerns, Linden still went on the attack.
Linden isn’t bragging about forcing Benning on Petey anymore for some reason.
Linden is a clown. The more years that pass by, the list of his beefs and the negativity about him from his peers grows. People are living a fantasy about Linden. Even the sleep doctor Pat Burns talked trash about Linden. Said “he didnt like him”. “Tried to like him”. Said “Linden and Benning dismissed the research”. Looks to me Linden just like to pass the buck and picks his moment when the heat is on someone else and then he piles on. He’s a Dbag.
Doesn’t matter anymore. As it turns out it seems drafting EP40 was a mistake. Kudos to an average player being paid as much as McDavid, he positioned himself well. For whatever reason it appears he lost his passion/interest in the game. The excuses will continue moving forward.
Something I’m having a laugh about is the content creators on social media actually devoting time to conversations about Seattle trading for EP. Alvin is there… that contract is one of the reasons he was fired… he knows Petey sinks ships… he knows how much he’s over paid… this convo is as dumb as the ones discussing reuniting Petey and RT in Philly. I’m sure both these guys will warn their head of office not to go that route. People are braindead.

I know what you mean. His pardons are running out though. Quite a few turning on him now but there are still the supporters kicking around
It more than likely didn’t’t help but Benning only offered him a three year contract because of his habits and attitude. When he held out and spent time in LA and doing events with Hughes it was the first sign of going backwards. Woman and alcohol have ruined more athletes than any other cause. He is a huge cause of the demise of this team. I think even if he does come in prepared and in shape his skating is slow now so I am not expecting much. 45 to 55 points I am guessing.
Said it before, the rebuild begins when EP40 is off the team. 45-55 Points seems fair, he probably won’t spend the whole season at 1C, I expect him to get displaced. If he can’t deal with his personal issues he should ask for a LOA and seek counselling.
“VHG rather delve into character assassination & treats EP as some sort of machine not a person”
100% Correct. EP is a flake, he’s not an integral part of the team.
EP40 & McDavid make close to the same salary. The difference is McDavid cares about his team and is passionate about hockey. That is all.

I is amazing how Canucks fans will give certain players a ton of rope, yet other players get next to nothing
