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

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.
 
Love love love this one!
Some huge cap dumps, which would’ve not just hurt us this season but next
 
Don't like the full deal and combination of the two tonight all things considered, they look pretty desperate, and once again, they're paying a price to unload poor off season signings. Hoping for the best, obviously, but even if they extend Pettersson, it's not sitting right.
 
Don't management already have a long history with Pettersson? Surely they must have a very good read on being able to re-sign him, they've been chasing him for years.

Dont love how this team cant hold onto a 1st rnd pick for more than a couple days after getting one.

This is another win now trade for a team that is barely staying in a wildcard race.

Huge gamble. Especially if the pick rolls into next year and is unprotected.
