He looked terrible at the four nations tournament, like he was a lost deer in the headlights. Rumors abound that he is damaged goods, and I don't mean physically.Buy low on Pettersson for Lindholm, Beecher, Korpisalo, prospects and picks

Yup. Part of the other issue with Pettersson is us affording his cap hit. You *have* to move contracts like Lindholm and Korpi to get him here. I doubt Lindholm waives to return to Van. Mittelstadt is your highest cap without protections, and a center which they will want in return. You’d need to add a 1st, 2nd, and some more though for them to bite. I’m okay on not doing that. If you could fleece them with a Poitras package that doesn’t give up too many picks/your future, yea sure why not. Otherwise there are better options to trade for.IDK ... if you think Lindholm has been poor this year, Pettersson's confidence is completely shot.

Yes, he may be 26 yrs of age and be 6 foot 2 , but he only weighs in at 176 lbs (he needs another 20 - 30 lbs). Maybe a change of scenery would help , but I just can't see him going to the dirty areas and engaging physically. He does have talent and has put up points in the past , but I'm willing to bet that was done mostly from the perimeter avoiding contact.
Lindholm and Sway for Peterson and Garland...............moving those two would be a win, win.Yup. Part of the other issue with Pettersson is us affording his cap hit.

I’d kick the tires on Bedard. He’s small, poor defensively, and entitled but he’s still going to be a 30 G point-a-game player if you put him with a guy like Mittlestadt
Give Chicago 7-8OA and Lohrei (hate to give up the hilite machine) but Bedard still highly thought of
You are way to smart for this placeWhy would Chicago trade a 19yr old kid that's on pace to put up 60+ points in his first 2 NHL seasons......for a 8-9 pick and Mason Lohrei?
The knock on Jack Hughes early was that he was to small. Imagine if NJD traded away Jack Hughes because he only had 52pt in his first 117 games.
your stats and thoughts are all legit, but something about this kid tells me stay away.I’d kick the tires on Bedard. He’s small, poor defensively, and entitled but he’s still going to be a 30 G point-a-game player if you put him with a guy like Mittlestadt

Hampus is damaged goods until proven otherwise.Seattle completely healthy now have Shane Wright at 4C. You’d have to entice them to trade their young center but they’d be dealing from a position of strength. Their weakness is at left D imo. Would anyone trade a package that includes Hampus Lindholm? Lohrei up for a raise, Hampus has had injury issues. Would Boston do it? Would Seattle have any interest in Hampus, or would they push for Lohrei?
Love Jack Hughes, but where is he today, IR.

Don Sweeney maps out Bruins’ ‘change of direction’ with roster, path forward

An interesting question:
Do you bring up prospects to gain valuable NHL experience on a team going nowhere but down this season, or do you protect their confidence and allow them to develop in Providence?
