Description

NGL this is the trade that makes the most sense to me league wide.
Star NHL ready prospect, top-6 local talent, and a (hopefully) late 1st to finally get that 1C and accelerate the rebuild as CBJ seems intent on doing.
VAN really seems intent on getting RHD, and this ensures they finally get it as well as a forward to 'replace' Petey. Everyone being NHL ready helps smooth things over with the fanbase and owner.

CBJ still has the players, prospects, and cap space to fill out the roster.

I think its an uncomfortable trade for both sides but that it fits both teams needs and timelines well

Pettersson going from one losing situation to another? That defense and goaltending isn’t any better. Filling in in 6 wingers with 12-14 million won’t be easy. Why would pettersson do this?

I think CBJ will be (somewhat) better this season and will be seen as a team on the upswing by next summer. Just enticing enough to be worth it
And most of the wings will be filled with prospects making little money. I'm very much not worried about that
