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

[The don godfather]

That's 1st round pick from rags was pure gold though. Pens got a nice gem there .

 

[DesertPenguin]

Pens not retaining tells me a big fish is getting dangled with that last retention spot. Karlsson?

 

[Canucks LB]

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

I don’t know why they’re loving this trade because it’s a huge win for Vancouver.

We just dumped contracts (Even tho, i gotta admit we did sign them lmao) for a conditional first rounder a really decent D who’s a perfect fit for us

E Petey
D Petey
3 Petey

Habs once had all of the 3 Pitlick's in the NHL. I was thinking coincidence. Now we have no Pitlicks.

Plus Millers baby mama drama gets sent to New York

was watching the dfo rundown on daily face off and Frank was literally saying who the hell is Pittsburgh got to sell? Drew O’Connor? Marcus Peterson? He’s a Number 4 on a contender! Low and behold Pittsburgh trades both of them in the same trade the next day

 

[Zirakzigil]

I like Desharnais coming back actually. We need some edge on our blueline. Petts, Letang and Karlsson play the game like a bunch of marshmallows.

I am fine taking Heinen and Desharnais back. We need contributing players now. Petts was a rollercoaster this season, sometimes our best defenseman, sometimes our worst. 1st round pick was the key.

 

[Skolman]

We cant all trade for gems like Savoie.

I'd almost rather have Savoie than the package you got for JT... Let that sink in.

Also, are you making an argument that JT & McLeod have similar value?

 

[Breakers]

Phewwww

Not their pick

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

O'Connor is a low-key great add for the Canucks. It seems like a fair trade to me.

 

[Three On Zero]

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

He was also going to get a 1st, that’s his value

 

[thefutures]

Awful franchise

 

[kevistar]

The funny thing with this is that the hockey guy was saying in his miller trade that he would prefer if the canucks kept the pick for once just for them to trade it like a couple hours later

And it helps me understand why you are the way you are. Math is adding up.

Desharnais literally has no edge

 

[DavidpauseReinbacher]

Vancouver. I feel bad for you.

They like compounding the stupid pills

Trade of the century

lol I have some bad news for you.

I don't think people realize how bad Heinen and Desharnais have been, and both have another year.

Dumping that salary alone is worth at least a 2nd, and I cannot overstate how badly they need a marginally competent top 4 D.

Good trade.

Let them figure it out on their own. It's better that way.

VDs only edge is standing still and still managing to take bad penalties

 

[Ncit3]

They have to be doing this as a joke.

 

[Muffin]

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

I mean you can wish for a lot of things but you have to be realistic. This a team on the outside of the playoffs who just gave up their most productive forward. You really think Marcus Pettersson will turn this team into a contender?

 

[Rowlet]

Throw back to a few months ago when a lot of Pens fans balked at taking back Desharnais rather than retaining 2m on Pettersson.

 

[Breakers]

Shesterkin prevents that NYR pick from being low

If Vancouver gave up their 1st

Vancouver’s protected pick is substantially more valuable

 

[Skolman]

I mean, the Canucks aren't a threat at all.
