Get him down to double retention and we got a deal

Given the Jr/pens connection I wonder if Vancouver looks at Marcus Pettersson. Ufa so wouldn't cost a ton and the Pens season is already on the verge of being lost.

Honestly with Pettersson playing like he has, Demko being a question mark and the overall team defense being much worse than last year so far, they should probably wait to see if the team can find its form before they do anything. There’s no use wasting assets for this year if they’re not playing well.

I dont think Desharnais has been a disappointment. He has been inconsistent though. He will play 2 excellent games then a poor one.

I like the size , toughness, and most of all Penalty Killing that he can bring especially in a 7 game series. He seems to also be a late bloomer with lots of growth in his game to go. Adam Foote and Gonchar will hopefully be able to help his game much like they did for Tyler Myers.

He's a late bloomer in the aspect that he's reached his peak and it's replacement level.

But he's so big! Guy has a great story being a late draft pick and working hard to reach the NHL, but he just doesnt have enough talent to do anything at this level.

The big guy is getting close to 30. There isn't "lots" of growth in his game.

JR and Allvin can just cut out the middle man here and not wait for the Pens to waive a defenseman or until free agency.

You can have Matt Grzelcyk now for a low cost of a 3rd round pick.

If you squint hard enough, the size part is sorted.

Or Marcus Pettersson for a conditional 1st and some other parts.
