The offer would be something like two 2nds and Bahl, who can replace Pettersson for the Penguins. Or a 2nd, B prospect and Bahl. The problem is that they don't have a 2nd round pick this year unless they play in the conference finals.At his cap hit, 1st+ quite honestly. He's a top pairing dman for us. Signed next year for $4mil. If moved at the TDL, he'd have sky high value. Problem for the Penguins would be replacement. He may be one of the hardest positions to replace at the moment and there's not a lot available on the market to do so. We also lack the prospects.
From the Devils, yeah a 1st+3rd. I would want something like 2025 1st + 2024 3rd. We will likely lose our 2025 1st to SJS so replacing that should be priority.
That all said, I just don't see it happening. We need Pettersson now and in the future. Unless you're offering Mercer or Holtz, then I doubt anything happens.
I would also consider a top10 protected 1st (25) + Bahl for Pettersson. However, this might be too high a price to pay.
They need someone who can play heavy minutes in the defense. Bahl, Misyul or these other young guys aren't those players. Pettersson isn't a rental either so he would help the team next few seasons.We need to ride this year out we brought in youth and just let it grow ....Without a trade we might still get in and make some noise and a trade doesn't guarantee we make it or don't ...Growth year for us and then if necessary address this in offseason but for a team that drafted defense heavy it's time to see if these guys can play...Misyul is there I'd like to see him up this year if not next year he's a talented defenseman that prefers to play a stay at home role
