Description

Three team trade. Detroit takes on Tyler Johnson and his contract and get M.Pettersson. 24 years old, top 4 D, signed to long term, 5 year deal, till he is 29 @ 4M per.

TB gets rid of Tyler Johnson Contract and give up Blake Coleman to do it. They also get J.Riikola and 5th round pick back. They can use Riikola as their 7th D. He plays both RHD and LHD just as well. Or they can bury his 1.1M contact in the minors for just 75K cap hit. And have him has depth in case of injury.

He’s better than that though!! A perfect 7th Dman. Can play LHD and RHD and on the 2nd or 3rd D pairing if someone misses time. Came over from Russia 2 years ago at 25 years old and played well in Limited time. Every analyst and fan was screaming for him to play more last year instead of Jack Johnson. But for some reason Sully like giving JJ and Shultz 14-16 minutes every night!! Rikkola is better than A.Borgman and like I said, TB will only have to carry one healthy scratch as a D b/c Riikola can play both sides equally well. I think he will give Ryan McDonough some nights off too. TB will like him.

Pens get Blake Coleman and 1 year of V.Filppula and Pat Nemeth. They give up M.Pettersson, J.Riikola and the 5th round pick.

Pens sign Andy Greene as 7th D to take Riikola spot. For 1M and 1 year.

And The Pens will have V.Filppula, Pat Memeth, Andy Greene, and Ceci’s contracts coming off the books and expiring at years end!! 8M plus!! Along with Blake Coleman and his 1.8M( but hopefully in this deal, we would be able to sign Blake Coleman to an extension. Like 1.25M-1.75M for 3-4 years).

Nexts years UFA class is unreal!! Full of Stars!! And even Taylor Hall and Bobby Ryan just signed 1 year deals and both be UFA again next year!! But they are even the in top 10 next year!! And most likely it’s gonna be another flat cap year, and cap strapped teams!! And players taking less money!! So next year having this cap space is huge!! Look at the list of 2020-21 UFA’s!! It’s stacked!!

I wouldn't take that trade straight up let alone giving up Filppula and Nemeth.

Edit: Also, I don't think Filppula is for sale I think Yzerman is letting his old buddy retire a Red Wing.

Ok, Pettersson would be the best Defender on your team!! You obviously don’t know who he is. And only 24 years old. A top 4 D. Would be on Detroit's top paring. He’s better than D.Cholowski. Way better than Nemeth. And Nemeth is overpaid. Pettersson has a good deal at 24 years old.

I was gonna put Filppula or F.Nielsen in the deal. Neither have any use in Detroit this year or next. And M.Pettersson does. Fits with Detroit’s young core!!

I thought maybe they signed Filppula back to Detroit to let him retire there. Good to know!! Stevie Y did say that though?? He signed him back to Detroit so he could retire there??

And Tyler Johnson still gets Detroit younger at their 2nd or 3rd line Center.

A couple things.

Cholowski isn’t a NHL regular so not sure why you brought him up. DDK - Hronek is our top pairing at the moment when DDK recovers from injury.

Filppula and Nielsen have widely different values. Nielsen is a major cap dump. Steve gave Flip a NTC and talked at the last press conference how Flip asked for one and only would sign if he had a NTC.

These moves are somewhat strange to me in that I don’t think they make the Pens really any better but you’d know the team better. Why wouldn’t you just try to sign Haula or something cheap for depth scoring?

I’d prefer not for the pens to do this. MP is the best piece in this 3 team trade by far and we also give up Riikola. So we kill our left side and only get Coleman in return. No reason to pay to help out TB either.

Yeah I hate to eat Johnsons money but for petterson I'd think about it. LD is super weak and a long term guy would be welcome. Why youd want to give up a young 2nd pair dman for 3 guys with 1 year deals Idk.
