Confirmed Trade: [VAN/PIT] Marcus Pettersson, Drew O’Connor for Danton Heinen, Vincent Desharnais, Melvin Fernstrom, NYR's c. 2025 1st (top 13 protected)

I like this deal for both teams

O'Connor was someone I wanted on Toronto. Good move by VAN getting him on top of Pettersson

 

[BKarchitect]

Fernstrom isn’t nothing…he was just a 3rd round pick and is already an SHL regular at 18.

He shouldn’t be ignored in the analysis.

Poor Heinan.

Getting the lazar treatment. Signed with hometown and gets traded

What was so bad about Heinen ? Was it the lack of production ?

 

[2028 7th]

Marcus Pettersson is 6 foot freakin' five and weighs... 174 pounds. I think he has -25% body fat.

 

[DatDude44]

Please put Elias Pettersson and Marcus pettersson on the same D pair with Elias pettersson up front.

 

[Canucks LB]

Amazing wow

 

[Skolman]

As an Oiler fan, I absolutely love what the Canucks are doing today

 

[KrisLeturnover]

Wait, Desharnais is an RD?

If we're moving an LD for an RD, a deal involving Karlsson is likely around the corner.

 

[The don godfather]

Nice pickups by Nucks all overall chytll o Conner and petterson. Well done.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Fascinating. Getting off Heinen & especially Desharnais is good. Adding Pettersson is good. Adding O'Connor seems good though I don't know a ton about him.

If they can re-sign Pettersson no issues.

I dunno if I like this for Vancouver, if that 1st rounder actually ends up moving to 2026 it could end up being super valuable.

the Pens get another generational talent in Gavin McKenna

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Vancouver's GM getting bent twice the same day...

 

[BKarchitect]

Should be a good deal for both teams. Love the fit and flexibility for Vancouver.

That 1st realistically for the Pens will probably be around #20 this year and they get a solid prospect in Fernstrom for 2 UFAs. That’s sound work. Really sound work.

 

[StickShift]

Don’t love this trade. If they were going to use the 1st, wish they would’ve gone for a bigger target rather than using it to dump bad cap hits and get a pending UFA defenseman.

As an Oiler fan, I absolutely love what the Canucks are doing today

Dumping bad contracts plus a guy with marital problems

 

[KrisLeturnover]

Fascinating. Getting off Heinen & especially Desharnais is good. Adding Pettersson is good. Adding O'Connor seems good though I don't know a ton about him.

If they can re-sign Pettersson no issues.

OC is a decent add. A little streaky but can slot into a top 6 role if injuries occur.

 

[VanillaCoke]

At the cost of a 1st that could be unprotected next year

We do not care. The time for wins is rn.

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

As an Oiler fan, I absolutely love what the Canucks are doing today

They traded a legit top line PWF and got an injury ridden middle 6er and a rental bottom pair D. Hilarious stuff.

 

[Static]

Not a huge fan of what Vancouver has done today. Sold pretty poor and bought pretty rich.

As an Oiler fan, I absolutely love what the Canucks are doing today

We cant all trade for gems like Savoie.

Respect

 

[CascadiaPuck]

They did it. They finally topped the Swedish twins with Swedish triplets.

Hey, according to Bob Cole we had three Sundins at one point.

 

[Turin]

Getting a 1st is the ideal, very happy with the deal.

 

[super6646]

Okay ik they dump salary, but a first for Marcus Peterson?
