won’t be surprised if we make the WCF

Stop being so negative, they trade I was pretty happy with, but the more I am thinking about it, the more I am starting to be neutral on it

This is a good trade imo. People (myself included) are just sour on the Miller trade, which sucked.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

won’t be surprised if we make the WCF

Sweeping Edmonton as the 2nd WC.

 

[Kryten]

There's still a chance they could

The value for Marcus Pettersson is fine on paper.

He was always going to get a 1st rounder back in this current market.

Yea, from a contender, as a rental

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Be honest. Outside of Hughes and Sherwood theirs nobody on this team that’s likeable or exciting.

What a boring terrible roster. Lol. Jesus Christ.

We went from a potential contender to the Flames in 1 year.

Garland??

 

[valkynax]

And you guys think that I'm the geek/nerd?

 

[Diamonddog01]

Anyways next up is trading the bad Hoglander contract, which this management themselves signed.

Who is scoring the goals

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

That 1st was to get Pitt to take VD and DH as much as it is to give us Pettersson. I personally like it

bit of a self own but what’s done is done, i’ll take it

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Ugh. I've always wanted us to complete the Pettersson gauntlet. But this pick should of been used for a Hronek type with some team control, not a rental

 

[krutovsdonut]

Winner: Pens
Loser: John Shorthouse

this.

 

[wonton15]

Who is scoring the goals

Drew O Connor

 

[drax0s]

I want to see them all in on a goal. G: Pettersson, A: Pettersson, Pettersson.

 

[Cogburn]

So what was it, Horvat, a 2nd and a 3rd for Raty, Beauvillier and Hronek?

Now we have Miller, Fenstrom, Branstrom and Dorrington for Pettersson, O'Connor, Chytil and Mancini?

I mean I still don't like the sum of either of these trade, but they could have been worse. I am hopeful for O'Connor at least.

 

[Spectrefire]

Yea, from a contender, as a rental

You're not wrong.

I'd feel a lot better about it if they announce a long-term extension at a reasonable cap hit soon.

 

[PG Canuck]

Boeser and a 1st can probably fetch a decent return honestly.

Fully expecting that trade to happen now and really confuse everyone what the hell we are doing. They’re trying to compete but are getting worse.

I think I’ve seen this movie before.

 

[valkynax]

I want to see them all in on a goal. G: Pettersson, A: Pettersson, Pettersson.

We need three more Petterssons, two forward, one goalie, then we can ice 6, count 'em, SIX, Petterssons.

We gonna be the Petterssonest Pettersson of all Petterssons.

PETTERSSON!

 

[vancityluongo]

I actually think Myers on the first pairing is a decent enough placeholder until Willander is ready for top-4 minutes.

I’m just so excited for the team to be able to ice two competent defensive pairings.

100%

m. pettersson as a target for the nyr 1st is one thing... but the effect of having 20 more minutes each game of a guy who can pass the puck up the ice will make a massive difference.

would've been better if it was the canucks 2025 1st vs the nyr one that could haul a bounty next season if they implode, but for a team that needs to compete, i think they've done decent at a re-tool under the circumstances

 

[Pancakes]

so basically we moved JT Milller for Chytil and 1st and moved the 1st for Marcus Pettersson. Sprinkle some b/c level prospects in there.

What took so long?

Chytil I'm not very high on, not even sure if hes an asset that moves the needle.

Marcus Pettersson on the other hand fits this team, and many teams like a glove.

Big rangy, very good defensively, active stick, physical, will fight anyone, and last season showed some offense - was approaching Mattias Ekholm lite territory. He should really help the defense.

As a Pens fan, MP is not physical really though he doesn't shy away from contact.

He's a rangey two way d who can make a good exit pass and is smart with his stick and defensively. Good at absorbing contact to make a pass.

If you're expecting him to be mean you'll be disappointed

 

[Kryten]

You're not wrong.

I'd feel a lot better about it if they announce a long-term extension at a reasonable cap hit soon.

Emphasis on reasonable for sure. With the cap rising and us having zero leverage it becomes how far to bend over

 

[drax0s]

So like I was all expecting we blew our trade load with the Miller trade - what the f***. I knew they were looking to pick up a first to use as currency (since tradezz r hrd) but I didn't expect it to happen this fast.

Feeling like they're under pressure to turn into a winner while Hughes is under contract. I guess if they fail and we have to blow it up, at least that lines us up for Landon Dupont.

 

[Rowlet]

 

[Baby Pettersson]

If it were me:

DeBrusk - E. Pettersson - Boeser (until he's traded)
Hoglander - Chytil - Sherwood
Joshua - Suter - Garland
O'Connor - Blueger - Di Giuseppe/Sasson

Hughes - Myers
Pettersson - Hronek
Soucy - Mancini

Lankinen
Demko

This is such an unskilled weak forward core. Even if we somehow make the playoffs we are gonna get creamed.

People clowning on Pettesson like he's some bum. The guy is incredibly good.
