I could see Wings giving up a 3rd for Petersson but I doubt they would give up a 2nd.

With Guentzel under contract, the Sabres would have to say yes to this

With that contract I probably wouldn't give up that much. When it doesn't work out Detroit fans will be putting on every single ACGM post praying that some one will take him.

Both ZAR and McCann are significantly better than Wood

Eh, I think he's very underrated, he's not flashy, but he was quietly one of, if not the best defender on the team, he doesn't hit much, but he has a very good stick and is smart positionally

Then why is he in just about every Pittsburgh ACGM done by Pittsburgh fans? Teams don't trade their best defenseman. If he is one of your best defensemen then $4M is a good price and having your best defensemen locked down at very good price for the next 5 seasons, Why trade him? If he is as good as you say and Pittsburgh is trying to trade him hy hasn't he been traded yet?

I don't want to say pens fans are dub... but pens fans are dumb, I don't think many people in general know what to look for in a DMan (myself included) so I just like players that put up good numbers and/or play like I do/would like my d men to play, and MP does both of those things very well. I also don't think the team really has any interest in trading him, when I first saw people on twitter/here saying to trade him and scratch him I was very surprised, him and Marino was almost unquestionably our best pairing, and I'd heard absolutely no rumors from anyone remotely reputable that the pens would consider trading him, I think he would be traded by now (or well, at least heavily speculated, they are in the playoffs and all) if the pens were going to move him, I could be entirely off on that last part though

Because we need to move a LD, and Dumo is off the table. Mathesons contract is way harder to move so Petey is very clearly the odd man out. Not that much to do with his play
