Confirmed with Link: [VAN/Pit] Vincent Desharnais, Danton Heinen, Melvin Fernstrom, & 1st (NYR) for Marcus Pettersson (LD) & Drew O'Connor (W)

[Baby Pettersson]

If he walks I'm out. Christ Almighty.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

What
The
f***

 

[Kryten]

Wait we are stuck with Heinen?

 

[Nuckles]

If they don't lock up Marcus Pettersson it'll be an extremely bad look lmao

 

[Diamonddog01]

trading the rangers first for pettersson would be f***ing terrible

It's similar to the Hronek trade. Only difference is Hronek was an RFA and Petterson is an impending UFA.

 

[Flik]

We'll re-sign him for sure, I bet the recent cap projections helped some teams decide to pull the trigger on deals like this.

 

[dez]

Drew O'Connor is underrated

 

[iFan]

trading the rangers first for pettersson would be f***ing terrible

I don’t get it, he’s a UFA, due for a pay raise and we’re not contenders

 

[Kryten]

FFS they shouldve just paid Zadorov

 

[ephmrl]

I like Drew O'Connor a lot, sweet.

 

[thecupismine]

Hopefully they know what they can re-sign him for, otherwise this feels really risky.

They better already have an extension lined up or this is an insane trade to make.

 

[Curm]

Trading the Rangers pick for a UFA Pettersson is not what I would have done. The worst of the two 1st rounders with VD? Maybe.

 

[ephmrl]

FFS they shouldve just paid Zadorov

Pettersson is much better than Zadorov

 

[Vector]

So Miller, Desharnais, Heinen, Brannstrom, Fernstrom, & Dorrington for Chytil, Pettersson, O'Connor, & Mancini

 

[Josepho]

Main issue here is the age. If he was 2-3 years younger I'd be completely fine with this.

I'm sure if they made this move they are confident they can bring him back, there's not a chance in hell he's walking.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Love the fact that he can move the puck in transition at an elite level.

His defensive numbers this year have absolutely cratered. If he can bounce back, he can be a good #3.

Don't like this though, feel like that 1st could've been put to better use with a different defenseman.

 

[credulous]

okay this trade sucks. pettersson isn't worth near a first and drew o'connor is basically heinen

 

[timw33]

I would get him inked to something in the 4-5 year range for around 5MM ASAP otherwise this could be a disaster.

Counterpoint, we just dumped 4.25MM of useless money in Desharnais and Heinen

 

[dez]

FFS they shouldve just paid Zadorov

Now theyll give that money to scarecrow Petey

 

[Baby Pettersson]

FFS they shouldve just paid Zadorov

Literally like we are ruining our franchise into the ground just burning through value.

 

[Bobby9]

So we lost a Miller but gained a Melvin and added a 3rd Petterson.

 

[moiderer]

Better version of the OEL trade?

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I'm f***ing happy to never see Heinen or Desharnais again.

 

[vancityluongo]

wonder what the condition is

would assume it's that if the rangers pick rolls to next year, they send the canucks pick... but maybe not?

 

[Joe Rogan]

There should be conditions on that pick. Trading a shot at Mckenna for a 3D is franchise crippling
