“Marcus Pettersson is the most likely candidate to be on the move. League sources said the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks have interest in the lanky defenseman, and there’s every reason to believe other teams will covet him,” Yohe wrote in his most recent article with The Athletic.

 

Pettersson is in the final year of a five-year contract that carries a cap hit of $4.025 million and has been among Pittsburgh’s best players early in the season. He is currently getting top-pairing minutes with the Penguins alongside Erik Karlsson. Pettersson has a goal and eight points in 20 games this season.

Not sure why the Score app articles can't be posted here, but that's where I originally saw this report.

Thinking Canucks have the edge with JR/Allvin/Tocchet working for the team.


The only edge we’d have is if Pettersson had a full NTC and got to choose where to go.

Aside from the gimmick of having another player with the name, Pettersson could be a great fit. We just need anyone to take top 4 minutes, after failing to address that during the offseason.

Would be interested what the pairings would be...

 

Hughes-Hronek

Pettersson-Brannstrom?

Soucy-Myers

 

Pretty much.  Also means we can bench those two scrubs Soucy/Myers once in awhile and play Forbort/Desharnais.

 

I can also see us getting another top 4 Dman to play with M-Petey.

he does have an 8 team list, which could be a "no Canada" clause. He might be willing to waive for us tho, being Tre Kronor and all.

So what happens if we get this Pettersson and have him, EP40, and D-Petey all on the ice at the same time?😅

We all laugh as Shorty struggles.

Give them Elias Pettersson (D). Make all the headlines, "Canucks swap Elias Pettersson for Marcus Pettersson" and have Pittsburgh fans lose their minds for a second.

We get dibs, we've already started our Pettersson collection! We're bringing all the Pettersson's to Vancouver, no matter what it takes!

 

I'm pretty sure this below is @-dlc- getting ready to kidnap with duct tape if necessary... 😉

My worry is that they would package EP 25 with Hoglander and a pick to get this trade done. 

 

I dont mind Hoglander and the pick but I think EP 25 will be a special player 

 

Hope hes not part of a trade proposal.

 

I think Marcus Pettersson could grow with the team similar to Hronek. He is the type of guy to step up in the playoffs and thats what we need

Would the Pens take that? I'm not so sure. 

 

Hogs is ready now. I'm sure they could get a late 1st, but the chances of that kid being even where Hogs is at is years out. 

 

VD they might be OK with trying to work with. He's big at least.
