In the past months, the main topic in Vancouver has been the alleged feud between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson.
Even if the two players stated many times that nothing was going on between them, even their organization didn't deny it.
Patrik Allvin, the general manager of the team, added fuel to the fire when he revealed that "anything is possible" when he was asked to say if he was trying to trade Pettersson.
Pettersson, 26, signed an eight-year, $11,600,000 extension in Vancouver. After 34 games this season, he has 28 points, including 10 goals, but more is expected from him.
For Allvin, the solution is simple: Pettersson needs to grow up.
Here's what he said:
The Canucks fell to the fourth rank in the Pacific Division after winning only three out of their last ten games.
If the team wants to reach the playoffs, they'll need to win more games, and Pettersson will need to focus on playing over anything else.
