BREAKING | Penguins Trade Marcus Pettersson, Drew O'Connor To Canucks

[@NobuhikuObayashi]

Dragon and Doc thank you! We love you! Will be watching them in Vancouver

[@johnnythunder196]

DOC sucks...never liked him

[@amidahshinduke]

As a Canucks fan I must say you guys are going to hate Heinen and Desharnais. They are horrible and constantly sent to the ahl

[@adamrichmond6348]

We know, we have had Danton before. He is just a contract slot for the trade. Big D could be flipped back to Edm possibly as they liked him last year

[@JB-1184]

We've had heinen before, heinen has seen more red sirens than DOC ever did though. DOC hustles plays a soft game and has no hands at all.

[@jfkst1]

I hope they both cause lots of losing as Penguins are rebuilding.

[@johnnythunder196]

@@JB-1184 DOC is maybe the most overrated player among Pens fans...he's a glorified AHLer

[@christopherharte4741]

We just wanted your prospect and NYR 1st. We will flip both of them next year

[@Topshelf87]

Stick a fork in Fenway Group’s tax write off. Thanks for the 40 years of hockey I’ve cheered, Pens. This office/ownership cancer is fatal.

[@MarioCrosby6687]

@Top LeBron James has a small percentage of ownership in it, what do you expect.

[@enkadude]

The Vancouver Penguins thank you for Marcus Pettersson and taking Desharnais off our books 😃

[@ryanlauzon2004]

Desharnais is actually really terrible don’t be excited for him what so ever

[@adamrichmond6348]

Same as Gudbranson comming from Van and he was decent for us

[@jfkst1]

Good Pens are tanking.

[@HANGIN_in_PERRYDISE]

thx for taking our dead weight burgers regards Vancouver Canucks

[@trevorplater4675]

As a Canucks fan who was once excited about Desjardins, I dont understand why you are excited about him. He hasn't been good.

[@jfkst1]

Perfect. Pens need to lose for draft lotto.

[@Topshelf87]

The Pens’ scheme since being sold to a Boston Corp is to just shuffle mediocre turds until they hit rock bottom

[@johnnythunder196]

Well neither is DOC...enjoy!

[@catlady1084]

Desharnais

[@ahmedaqeel08]

Obviously Canucks won this trade. What are you really yapping about?

[@MarioCrosby6687]

@ahm Because they didn't. There is only one PRETTY much, not unamaious, agreement amongst everyone here: Petterson is a solid player. The other three are all wildcards because of their inconsistent play. That's why you people saying their great, while others think they all stink or any other combination. So the question becomes, as good as Petterson has been, is he worth a first round draft pick? Nope. Winner of the trade is the Penguins.

[@ahmedaqeel08]

@@MarioCrosby6687 bunch of nonesense. Canucks lost the trade with NY recently but fleeced the Pens and made up for that NY trade. There is no discussion here, idk what you’re trying to say but the pens return is simply fukin horrible

[@chrisvangorder4965]

thanks for the clear summary

[@chrisvangorder4965]

Thanks Dragon!

[@sealiferr]

Pettersson to Pettersson to Pettersson…he scores…Pettersson from Pettersson and Pettersson😅

[@collinrothwell8532]

Fernstrom is your ace in the hole . He will be a solid third liner maybe 45 to 55 point guy .

[@TravisSahly]

We fleeced you guys on Desharnais… horrible player.

[@leonardmccannon3136]

For the penguins, this deal makes sense given the contracts, and the emphasis on their rebuild. I expect they may not be done yet. They should blow this team up for picks and prospects. Maybe Pittsburgh gets decent service out of this pair from the Canucks , but they sure didn’t cut it in Vancouver. For the Canucks, without Miller, they simply do not have a true number one center. His absence is going to further hurt their power play which has dropped off a cliff compared to last season. Nothing here makes me think they are going to be a legit playoff team. It’s possible they squeak in, but will be blasted by the JETS or any team capable of catching them. It’s hard to believe this years canucks are roughly the same team that tore through the league for the first few months last season. Were it not for Hughes and the surprisingly good play of Kevin Lankinen in net, the Canucks would be already planning their end of season vacations.

[@willie9397]

MP and DOC will be missed, I hope they do well in Van, Dubas getting what they got for 2 UFA who would have for surely would have cost more than what they brought in, who btw have short time on their contracts and also never took any additional roster spots away also an 18yr old is a bonus time will tell who won the trade on the surface Pens got a1st rdr

[@JB-1184]

Petterson yes, Doc no...Watch petterson in vancouver I bet he plays even better than he did in pittsburgh..Different coach who would rather have some more grit with petterson, something sullivan wouldn't let him do..Doc is or was way overrated in pittsburgh. 6'3 but soft.

[@coltonnaslund]

Having another year on heinin is a bad thing lol

[@JB-1184]

@@coltonnaslund I am by no means a heinin fan, Just trying to get over the danton heinin blah and trying to stay positve with this trade. Maybe he'll play on sids line and score some goals? Don't laugh...

[@thatsright4194]

I don't get the love for O'Connor. He stunk.

[@SportsMuppets]

Vancouver canucks are the Swedish raspberry franchise..

[@grizzlycanuk8622]

Team Pettersson, soft over rated over paid gl with that. Tochet lost the room and chased their best player out of town. Don,t sugar coat it. If an ultimate team players like Miller and Vinny D , that tells me there is trouble in the ranks behind closed doors.

[@JimLaddie]

Don't judge Desmarais by what you saw in Vancouver. He is all class and can dominate when things get ugly. He is one player I'd love to have back in Edmonton.

[@JB-1184]

He's a giant for sure and plays a physical style game, something the penguins have lacked for 8 years. With sullivan though he'll have to change his game for sure or he will be in the pressbox.

[@coltonnaslund]

He was the worst D on the Canucks horrible D core. He is a number 7 D

[@JB-1184]

@@coltonnaslund I understand but the penguins literally have 5 offensive dmen and karlsson who's listed as a dmen and doesn't even play defense? He reminds of val kilmer in the movie "tombstone".

[@ahmedaqeel08]

@@JB-1184bro he’s horrible, no point of digging for something. He’ll probably be sent down to the AHL , I suggest you don’t get your hopes up

[@JB-1184]

​@@ahmedaqeel08 Have you seen the penguins 5 dmen and karlsson? It can't any worse? He may suck but at least he plays physical and has size..I'll take that over the 5 on the ice now who don't even play defense. Besides..That dude in edmonton wants him back? ; /

[@bonehead2768]

We'll just have to see if this trade brings any benefits to the Pens. Honestly, I'm all in on a complete rebuild...... Clean house and start all over again with a young, energetic group of players, a new coach and hopefully exciting hockey. Crosby would be the only player I'd keep.

[@johnclaudevondon5333]

I wish you would have broken down the trade tree from Sprong-Petterson- etc.

[@IceBurghPodcast]

That might be in the works for a separate video 👀😂

[@brandonrickner1321]

Always love the coverage Nick but Desharnais is not the kind of player you're selling him on. He will absolutely drop the gloves with just about anyone, yes, but i don't think the guy has thrown a big hit in his entire career. His size during the play is a complete non-factor.

[@4x4Charlotte]

Thanks for the update and explaining the conditional pick, let’s go pens 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

[@ahmedaqeel08]

The canucks found their pieces with DOC as the forechecking / penalty killing forward and a shutdown defender in M Petey… this take was so biased, y’all clearly didn’t get jack shit for the return, stop it 😅

[@sambarna4102]

I Hope the Pens get rid of Graves next, even if its for a 3rd round pick, then I'll feel a little bit better there will still be Penguins in Pittsburgh next year & the year after. Otherwise, Du(m)bas(s) is gonna keep beating down the roster just like he did in Toronto & God only know whats going to happen. Maybe the Pens move to Arizona. God help us all.

[@CptShotClog]

Great trade,thanks for the details Nick!

[@johnnythunder196]

Thank you! DOC sucks & he's always sucked except for a 6 weeks or so run in the 2nd half of last season.

[@Detector1977]

We are going to SUCK badly

[@bonehead2768]

We ALREADY do........

[@jfkst1]

Tank baby tank!

[@brandonn7770]

I loved when Vinny punched sid in the face lol

[@mylife4290]

Why trade Petterson? He's playing better than most of the defense.

[@bradleyvision7315]

ufa in the summer and theyre not resigning so you trade to get something in return and not lose him for nothing

[@NESADDICT]

He would be leaving this summer regardless so we had to get something for him over nothing.

[@NobuhikuObayashi]

First round pick AND a prospect!!! Excellent trade

[@lethalshotsz8032]

we’ve also seen the penguins aren’t much different with him out of the lineup. This was a perfect trade.

[@coltonnaslund]

​@NobuhikuObayashi yes, but penguins also took on our 2 worst contracts and players

[@MrSeaneboy]

Desharnais is terrible. He's rugged and stands up for teammates, but easily beat by NHLers. He's barely American league caliber, truth. Heinen is weak, soft, lousy and doesnt have a high compete level, glad to see them go.

[@pittsburghfan4124]

The 1st rdr (WOW), a prospect AND Desjardins, I LOVE! Heinen is an ok player, but I’d rather not have acquired him in this deal to have that spot open for McGroarty/Koivunen/Ponamaryov to be brought up. But, GREAT trade regardless.

[@shaneimler9328]

Good start. One or two more trades like this and, dare I say, the Pens might be competitive.

[@trevorplater4675]

It's a protected 1st round pick. It will likely be 1st next year. The Pens are not better today.

[@SecretAgentMan.]

This is one of those minor deals where both teams win I think.

[@Pmach29]

As long as Dubas is GM, the penguins will be basement dwellers!
