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

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Vancouver has the Peters.
Colorado has the Woods.
Who's got the Johnsons?

Columbus got two:

Kent Johnson
Jack Johnson

Where do we get a third? Wyatt Johnston from Dallas is close but doesn't count.

Well, I was thinking for the Canucks, that a 2nd, Mynio, and Hoglander would be a fair return for Marcus Pettersson. While the Penguins got a 1st, the prospect isn't rated as highly as Mynio (though he is younger), and there's no younger player. Instead, the Penguins got two older players.
Getting a higher 1st makes up for getting the worse (for now) prospect and taking on a couple of cap dumps next season. Plus, there is always the possibility that the 1st ends up being higher than 20th, and that possibility brings me so much joy.

I'm a big time O'Connor apologist but at this point he's a 3rd liner who should give you 15 goals 30 points. He's a LW who can play C when needed as well as regular PK time. He's got size and speed which he uses to be good on the forecheck by using his reach to smother opponents. Offensively he's a shooter rather than a playmaker and at times using his speed and size to effectively drive the net. Shows flashes of being more consistent offensively but never able to put it together for long. Could be a real menance on the forecheck if he threw the body more.

I guess he's a good energy guy in your bottom 6 if you don't need scoring from him. I admire the guy's work ethic but found his lack of scoring touch to be maddening, personally. Best of luck to him in Vacnvouer.
