Those are certainly top 4 mins. Your math ain't mathing.

Is 17 minutes a night top 4 minutes? I think there’s a difference between averaging 19 minutes a night vs 17 minutes. Same as 15 vs 17. I can agree that depending on actual deployment 19 minutes a night can be considered top 4 minutes.

Kind of ironic that I was arguing that Gudbranson was playing top 4 minutes with the Panthers before we acquired him but here we are arguing over comparatively less average ice time. Different era I guess…

Pens fan on main boards suggested Desharnais, D-Petey, 2025 2nd for Marcus Pettersson 50% retained.

I’d have a hard time saying no to that right now. If you can switch D-Petey with Kudryavtsev, I’d have done it yesterday.

Yeah, switch D-Perry for Kudeyavtsev and I’d do it. I’m exetremly high on D-Petey and believe he’ll be in the NHL next season.

switch to a lesser name prospect. like mynio and call it a deal. but why petterson at 50? i'd replace desharnais with soucy tbh. still need VD pk and physicality for playoffs when needed. despiste his defensive deficiencies.

Sorry, but you can't keep trading valuable picks and prospects for a rental d-man like Marcus Pettersson. I've watched him with Pittsburgh this year, and he really doesn't move the needle for me.

Frankly, I'd like to see D-Petey and Wilander both introduced into the lineup by March. At some point, you have to start building your blueline identity from within.

I imagine whatever D-man they trade for will be under contract or it'll be a sign and trade type of situation.

Banking on Willander and/or D-Petey being ready to be playoff contributors in 5 months is very risky.
