Proposal: Marcus Petterson to Detroit

[Hazy Little Thing]

Seider needs an actual partner, Chiarot needs to be a third liner. Pending UFA. Penguins with a 1.7% chance to make the playoff currently. What would it take?

[Turin]

A first or a 2nd+something small or one of Detroit's top 6ish prospects, obviously not one of the top couple.

 

[redwingsfannn9191]

Were likely not making the playoffs so theres no way we're trading a 1st or a top prospect for a rental

Maybe a 2nd and like a viro/tuomisto type prospect. Rather target a hague/Miller

 

[Lampedampe]

What about a 2nd, Berggren/Veleno and Wallinder

 

[Kasperi kapanen]

What about a 2nd, Berggren/Veleno and Wallinder

He’s waiting at the airport for you.

 

[5cotland]

2nd rounder should do it. That's probably about it.

Why trade for a rental at all?
Only with the expectation of an extension

 

[Pavels Dog]

Overpayment for him as a rental.

 

[OtherThingsILike]

Overpayment for him as a rental.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily an overpayment for him as a rental, but it would be for a team in Detroit's position making a rental. So I half agree with you.

 

[Lampedampe]

Overpayment for him as a rental.

Yeah, after thinking for abit it might be too much.

A good benchmark is probably Hanifin, where Pettersson is a tier below.

Hanifin got a late 1st and B prospect.
Pettersson for a 2nd + Wallinder might be enough?

 

[Toby Flenderson]

If Detroit is not willing to part with a 1st for fear of missing playoffs themselves, then why trade for him at all?

Pens will trade him to someone that will pay a 1st

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Done

Pens will trade him to someone that will pay a 1st

Don’t think he gets a 1st. Hope I’m wrong

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Detroit would be farther ahead trading for a RHD and shifting AlJo back to the left side to play on Seider's pairing.

He's handling big minutes with Edvinsson on his off hand.

Alot of teams make trades for rentals and let them walk. Yzerman would only do this is the extension is signed at the same time as the trade

I do lean towards 2nd +.

He's one of the best defensemen available. Ben Chariot got a first we have to remember that.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think Wallinder and a 2nd for Pettersson is pretty reasonable, it's the same kind of Akey and a 2nd deal I think is good with Edmonton. That said, I'm not really sure if I have a good read on how good of a prospect Wallinder is.

He’s waiting at the airport for you.

Honestly I don't think it's that crazy of a payment because I don't think Berggren or Veleno are all that valuable right now. They seem more like throw ins.

Sure, those who want to make deep runs in the playoffs

 

[ManofSteel55]

I think Petersson goes for a 2nd and a prospect at the deadline, but I also expect Pittsburgh to be asking for a 1st right now.

 

[SnS]

I like MP might garner a first at the deadline. Stranger things have happened, and worse defenders have.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Doesn't make any sense for detroit to pay a 2nd or better for a rental when they're not making the playoffs.

 

[DrDangles]

He'll be the best rental two-way D on the market and his caphit is easily manageable. I'd be shocked if he doesn't return a 1st or something equivalent.

 

[SEALBound]

I think in a month we will have a clearer picture of who is in the playoff hunt and who really needs to bolster their blueline. It's tough to say he's worth a first right now but the market on capable, reasonably priced top 4 dmen (especially ones that can be retained on and especially ones that will be rentals if needed) is very limited this season. If you get three teams looking to upgrade, options evaporate quickly. So a team that wants to secure him may make the jump to a late 1st.

As is, I think it's been pretty well established that the value is right at a 2nd + prospect. It's not tip top value for him nor is it letting him go for cheap. Most reasonable Pens fans would be fine with that return. We've ran the Pettersson/Mynio + 2nd and Akey + 2nd suggestions before with reasonable reviews. So something in the mold of 2nd + Wallinder would be about right.

It's also tough too because Dubas wants to prioritize younger players over picks and prospects but I don't see anything on the DRW roster that makes me think it would be a good swap. There's a gap between players who are just there like Berggren and good young studs we could use like Rasmussen. If we can talk a larger deal based on Pettersson resigning and us maybe sending something extra, I'd be willing to explore something else beyond the basic price of a rental Pettersson.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

There will be a time that Yzerman will eventually trade for rentals, but it's not this year. And it's probably not next year, either.

Any add that he gives up pick for prospects for right now is going to be somebody he plans on keeping around.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Petterson, along with at least half the roster, are fully on the market. Offer away.

 

[SirloinUB]

I do lean towards 2nd +.

He's one of the best defensemen available. Ben Chariot got a first we have to remember that.

So if:

• Petey leans toward a 2nd
• Chairot returned a 1st

Then I will accept Petey + a 2nd or 3rd for Chairot and you can go get a 1st with chairot.
