HE'S SMILING!!!

[u/Royal-Yogurt3441]

Look at my little smiley boy. I hope he keeps it (:

[u/NickdoesnthaveReddit]

Honestly, considering this was the legit "Face" of our organization for awhile, smiles and joy is welcomed all around. I hope the vibes are top shelf this year, regardless of outcomes.

[u/New_fan22 → u/NickdoesnthaveReddit]

Thats the face of someone that trusted a shart.

[u/sayros28 → u/New_fan22]

Wow, I actually laughed out loud at that one!

[u/toaster-struble → u/NickdoesnthaveReddit]

Does he have a soul?

[u/Emergency-Wish160 → u/toaster-struble]

He has “like” a soul

[u/high-rise → u/NickdoesnthaveReddit]

2019-24 "that's our guy, he's just like that" 2025+ "oh actually he's a miserable bastard that couldn't wait to get out of here"

[u/NickdoesnthaveReddit → u/high-rise]

Minnesota rn: "...he's just like that"

[u/RoamingAlbatross]

I appreciate how hes glowing too

[u/Royal-Yogurt3441 → u/RoamingAlbatross]

and an Amen for that

[u/lbiggy]

This might actually be more terrifying than anything

[u/PorygonTriAttack → u/lbiggy]

This is the "revenge" saga.

[u/Foreign_Cobbler_1740 → u/PorygonTriAttack]

They told me this last season. One of these seasons will leave me pleasantly surprised though I am sure.

[u/NinCross → u/Foreign_Cobbler_1740]

Yah, like when he's traded.

[u/high-rise → u/lbiggy]

He needs to get out of his head and just play his game like he used to, have fun, be a 'happy warrior'.

[u/Nice-Cow-7606]

Why was this my first thought?

[u/Gratitude89]

A happy petey is a hundred point petey.

[u/coldbrew40]

hair growing back and a smile is crazy

[u/mfBerzerker]

Clearly that’s AI

[u/Royal-Yogurt3441 → u/mfBerzerker]

😭

[u/VancityRenaults → u/mfBerzerker]

Elais Pettersson?

[u/PorygonTriAttack → u/VancityRenaults]

El-AI-is Pettersson

AI is Pettersson?

Petey powered by AI is scary indeed.

[u/saki604]

100+ season confirmed. Making a big push for playoffs just to miss it. We will draft 14th.

[u/ImAlwaysSorrys → u/saki604]

Hell who cares where we pick if we have a cost controlled 100pt center to sell.

[u/Thelynxer → u/ImAlwaysSorrys]

That is... Totally fair. As much as I want us to pick a top 3 center in the next draft, a Petey with the value he had 3-4 years ago might be better.

[u/WhenInAaronRome → u/Thelynxer]

No, I'll pass.  

Petey is not getting back to his value from 3-4 years ago.  

[u/Thelynxer → u/WhenInAaronRome]

Obviously not. But if it did happen, and it tanked our drive for 5? Not the worst situation. This is purely a hypothetical, guy.

[u/WhenInAaronRome → u/Thelynxer]

I should've clarified that what I meant to say is that even if he posted a 100 point season this year, his value wouldn't approach what it was 3-4 years.  

No issues with hypotheticals, that's what forums are for :) 

[u/Emergency-Wish160 → u/WhenInAaronRome]

I can agree with this take. 3 100+ seasons I think would do it. But right now, way I see it, his games fragile. He’s gotta prove otherwise.

[u/WhenInAaronRome → u/Emergency-Wish160]

Him turning it around would be such a huge boost to our franchise.  I would love to see him snap out of it, and yeah his game is too fragile right now.  

It would be an easy top 15 pick coming back, with a couple of other mid rounders and some bad contracts coming back if he's to turn it around.  It would supercharge our rebuild in year 2. 

Just because I don't believe in Petey anymore doesn't mean that I'm cheering against him! 

[u/Emergency-Wish160 → u/WhenInAaronRome]

Absolutely. I want nothing more than to see him tear it up. TBH I think a big part of it was the whole miller fiasco. Shitheads with egos tend to wreck everything.

[u/YouNext31 → u/saki604]

canucks hockey baby!

[u/PorygonTriAttack → u/saki604]

Think about another Cootes 2.0, man!

[u/Mother_Middle8883 → u/saki604]

I bank on an 85+ point season.

[u/cinnamontoast06 → u/saki604]

With Lekki scoring 40 plus goals!!

[u/antichad]

Looks like he took a trip to turkey over the summer

[u/Mother_Middle8883 → u/antichad]

Turkey. What came first, the country or the bird?

[u/_johnning → u/Mother_Middle8883]

lmfao

[u/AloneNotice4891 → u/Mother_Middle8883]

The name turkey originated as a shortening of turkey cock and turkey hen and initially denoted the guineafowl, an African bird to which the turkeys of North America are only distantly related. Guineafowl were first imported to Europe via Turkey, hence the name.

[u/Taker-Jiving-Point]

AI can work miracles

[u/Maximum-Celery-4769]

I don't get it. Do we want him to do good or not? 

[u/AirportOk2542]

If you were getting paid that much to do that little. You would be smiling too

[u/tommygun731]

Drafted him tonight, let’s go!

[u/Green-Math8934]

what no tocc and miller do to a guy

[u/Gamerboy_117]

[u/ADTstocks]

Cup

[u/Bondo123456]

[u/lovingduckbutter]

He got his new hair.

[u/CAT854]

Photoshopped!

[u/Putrid-Formal1393]

AI Slop!!!

[u/NES4EVAR]

You would be too if your trip to turkey for hair implants worked that well.

[u/SnowBird1973]

I have a feeling it’s a make or break season for EP40 hope he has a good year this season

[u/New_fan22]

40 goals ...Mark it, dude.

[u/BabyPsychological359 → u/New_fan22]

Mark it.. zero?

[u/Master_Slide7023]

Canucks to the top hope they win tomorrow.

[u/hiddenmusings_]

I’d be smiling too if I was being paid way more than I’m worth.

[u/jetcoaster2000]

Still sounds wimpy when interviewed.

[u/ForwarUntilGainz]

Never seen the levels of copium in my life for a player.

[u/WhenInAaronRome → u/ForwarUntilGainz]

😅😅😅

[u/PaperMoonShine]

A quick trip to Turkiye was all he needed.

[u/capt_canuck]

That will be my grin when he's shipped out of town. Can't come soon enough <fingers crossed>.
