None of those are NHL ready or currently playing in the NHL though... and they don't have a 1st this year?

Everything I said is factually correct.
It doesn’t matter. You won’t get the return you think you’ll get for Marcus.

Fans always over value their players.

Wow, what happened here?

That has to change the Canucks plans pretty heavily.

Depends on the cost, if Ruthervin want to sign Pettersson as a UFA anyways, and they view the cost as negligible, I think there's a good chance they still do it.

I feel like Vancouver is going to make a move for Pettersson in the next day or so.

Pettersson would be such a luxury at 3 LD. He's played played top pair LD for the Pens for the last few years.
I don't know if that's more or less because of the Pens left side being absolute ass or if Pettersson is truly a top pairing LHD, because I think at best he was a good 2nd pairing LD and on a team like the Jets, 3rd pair LD is pretty insane depth if Pettersson is used that way. For the Canucks he'd be their 2nd pairing LD which they desperately need and want him for.

Not that Marcus is bad, but more often than not, he was thrown into that top pairing spot because of Dumoulin falling apart and rushing back from injuries paired with some inconsistent play, the botched job on POJ and others like Pickering not ready yet.

He 100% plays on the jets 2nd pairing.

Pettersson is a stud.

He's not a PP QB, but he's a number 2 dman and probably your best PK guy for most teams

Definitely someone I wanted to keep but paying him let's say 6 to 6.5 for 7 or 8 years when we probably will suck doesn't make sense. The assets we can get will help us more. Hard for me to say that. Definitely a player I will miss.

2 day break in between games. could make sense or maybe after their 5 game roadtrip?

Pens called up Pickering and have been playing Shea. Petts is on the block as Pens are not likely to extend him. It is all part of the makeover here and Pens are going to develop Pickering.Tthe major moves will come on the off season but Petts is in demand.
