Value of: Marcus Pettersson.

He should get the Hanifin price

I agree with the OP that linking M Pettersson to Vancouver makes a lot of sense. And Vancouver has the pieces that I can see the Pens wanting:

To Pittsburgh: Hoglander, Aman, Forbort, Briesbois, 2027 6th round

To Vancouver: M Pettersson, 2025 5th round pick

Hoglander and a 2nd.

Literally why would the Penguins do this

Hoglander and a 2nd.

I don't think they'd go for Hoglander with his contract and production tbh

I'm not a huge fan of the player however his contract is perfectly fine for a middle six 35 point forward.

But why would a rebuilding team (or should be rebuilding team) like the Penguins be interested in that?

The simplest deal is Elias Pettersson (D prospect) and a 2nd for Marcus Pettersson. Fills a big need for Vancouver and gives the Penguins a good prospect replacement.

Sure, that's fine too. It was more because of Dubas' quote. Apart from Willander or Lekkermaki I'd add any Canucks prospect to a 1st for Petterson.

 

[ManofSteel55]

They have close to NHL

Oilers have zero young NHLers of value they can afford to part with, which is Dubas' main ask.

They also have no 1st.

They have close to NHL ready prospects and a 1st a year from now.

Dubas wouldn't even do that first deal.

The same reason Dubas got Bunting back in the Guentzel trade? He's not very good at his job.

Why would a rebuilding team dilute Jake Guentzel's trade value for what they got?

 

[Cypher]

Avs need him. CDH/Kylington/Ludvig not the best on the 3rd pairing, and Toews is labouring. Coach even said Toews will be taking maintenance days here and there. If it wasn't for Four Nations Cup, he'd go for surgery now I think.

Pettersson for Kylington + Rangers 2nd + prospect(s)/picks

Yeah. I think the realistic answer to this is...they're not really rebuilding. I very much doubt that was what was pitched to Crosby and Co. I don't think that ownership group including Mario would allow them to just deliberately throw away the final years of his buddy Crosby's career like that.


It's far more likely to be a "retooling attempt". Which i think almost certainly impacts the type of return Dubas is mandated with looking for in a Pettersson trade, or really anything he does here.
