'I was watching Harry Potter and getting ready for the game the next day in Boston.'
Marcus Pettersson, Filip Chytil, Drew O’Connor, and Victor Mancini found out on Friday that they were traded to the Canucks. About 36 hours later they were on the ice in Rogers Arena for their first morning skate with their new team.
“It’s great, they can help out with the family back home,” said Pettersson, who got married this past summer and has a young son. “We’ve got the break coming up so I can see them.” “I was in Laval getting ready to play a game and, after warm-ups, knew that I was not going to play, so obviously some thoughts start running through your mind,” said Mancini. “It’s kind of funny: my dad traveled to Laval to watch me play this weekend. I get off the ice and you hear the rumours and next thing you know, I’m texting him, ‘Hey, where are you in the building? Let’s meet up and talk about this.
Filip Chytil: "I was just watching Czech TV and it was Harry Potter" It was a bit of a different experience for Filip Chytil, who first heard the news from his wife. “They're excited, which is nice,” said Tocchet. “As a staff, you don't overload them, you know, you want them to have some fun tonight, and just don't overload them with system stuff. I've been in this business a long time: that's the best thing, especially making trades, is don't overload the guys. Let those guys go have some fun and play and then, obviously, hopefully, you can give them more structure as the season goes on.
