Matt and Blake comb through the continuing angst over Elias Pettersson's contractual status and Patrik Allvin's comments about how it's unusual for an RFA to not have a resolution at this point. They discuss Elias' history with the franchise, the signposts to come and how this can play out. They also talk about Allvin getting aggressive before the trade deadline, whether he owes it to fans and the players. Plus, whether they could acquire a player and instantly sign them in this environment with Pettersson and Filip Hronek unsigned, and midseason awards and one outlet having Rick Tocchet and Quinn Hughes as trophy winners. Other topics include the B.C. Lions re-signing another key free agent and the Seahawks giving John Schneider the keys to the kingdom.Frank Seravalli from Daily Faceoff joins to talk about how aggressive the Canucks will get before the deadline, the worrying over Pettersson, whether the club would let him go into his final year before unrestricted free agency, trade buzz around Andrei Kuzmenko and two Western Conference clubs that could be a source of deadline reinforcements.Frank Corrado stops by and puts himself in Allvin's shoes with regards to Pettersson. He comments on whether Elias Lindholm would be a fit with the existing wingers, and whether Kuzmenko has to be dealt to better utilize his cap hit.
