Pens 21-22

Kings don’t need another goalie and MIN doesn’t make sense for Pettersson

Here's what I'll say regarding the Khudobin trade

1) He's 35, so despite him being ok last year, another year is going to sink in and age will hit.
2) Even if he's still better than Jarry at this moment, it's not by much and doesn't move the needle enough IMO to part with a 2nd.
3) Hextall has repeatedly said he's not moving the Pens' 1st or 2nd picks anymore, possibly their better prospects in the right deal.

Yeah, if LA bought Quick out I'd say DeSmith might make sense. LA is clearly trying to fight for playoff spot this year and DeSmith is a very good backup.

I don't know that Pettersson is completely wrong for MIN. They're thin on the LD side outside of Brodin. They don't have any LD prospects that I see making a shot anytime soon, signed Merril as depth and Gogo for only one year. Does he make complete sense? Not at the moment, but he'd be a good long-term move.

Y'all could literally give us a 4th Round Pick & I'd take it.

If the Pens can off-set by moving someone else out I'd think it would work, but again, I don't know that he moves the needle enough to bother at this point. He's been solid, but he really wasn't any better than what we have this last season. I'm not sure if that's due to age or because of a weird season.

IMO unless the Pens can make a clear upgrade it doesn't pay to give up anything just to make a change.
