Description

Bulk up our 3rd line. Get some youth back in L.Kunin and A.Carrier. I think we are better Defensively if we sign Sami Vatanen and let P-O-Joseph come up and play on our third paring D. And have A.Carrier and Riikola both as young Depth options.

I think M.Pettersson and J.McCann is fair for Kunin(rights) and C.Jarnkrok. And I think T.Blueger and a 2nd round pick is fair for Cousins and A.Carrier.

not a good deal for pit.

Jarnkrok = McCann
Petterson > Kunin
Blueger > Cousins
2nd > Carrier

Well u just don’t know who they are. That’s why. I’ll take Carrier over a late 2nd for sure. An NHL ready prospect. Blueger and Cousins are equal. Petersson and Kunin are equal value with Kunin has the bigger upside and higher ceiling. And McCann and Jarnkrok are equal value right now. With McCann being younger and probably more upside.

Late 2nd round picks have about a 1/10 chance of becoming someone as good as carrier but it might technically be worth the 1/50 shot it becomes Krejci

Idk

Could kinda say that about any pick really 😕

Carrier being a really good AHLer for 4 years and moving into prime now is neat especially with PIT competing for a cup and needing good cheap depth

Blueger is arguably the best 4C in the league. He is a shutdown beast. hes better than cousins. if you think they are "equal" then remove them from the trade. Petterson is a top 4 D, Kunin is a 3rd line winger. They are not "equal". Maybe Kunin has more "upside", but they are less than 2 years apart in age and D usually take more time to develop. Give me Petterson over him. As for Carrier, I dont know much about him, but a quick look tells me hes 24 and hasn't played any significant time in the NHL on a team that has a weak Right hand side besides Ellis. I wouldn't pay a 2nd for him

Blueger & Cousins is the most unequal part though

Teddy is 3 years younger, just an RFA and received a selke vote this season due to being ace at that

Kinda not great in other ways but Cousins just solid
