i dont think this is a good deal for PIT. jarry for mercer seems to be fairer value but obviously theres work to be done to even that value out. palat has a big cap hit, is on a down year, is slowing down, and under contract for another few years and i dont think GMKD is willing to give up yet on the core, so hes not gonna want that contract. pettersson plays tough minutes with 2 partners who dont play defense and puts up good results, and PIT is asked to give up a 2nd too? the value doesnt match. mercer is a good player, but not worth taking a cap dump, giving up a quietly very good/steady defenseman plus a 2nd.
