Thread: Pens trade Canucks Add Holtby
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Ya, I’m a Gaudette fan!! He won the Hobey Baker award!! I think there is still potential there to unleash.

Not a fan of Holtby, but the Pens need a veteran goalie. Although it hasn’t been all Jarry/DeSmith fault.

Jarry hasn’t played well, DeSmith has though. But the Defense has been awful infront of both of them. The Pens defense has been injured all season too. Its not totally all Jarry’s fault.

I think Pettersson for Virtanen value is close either way.

I would be iffy about trading DeSmith/W.Reilly for Holtby just b/c of Holbty contract.

I would be ok with a 2nd for Gaudette, Pettersson for Virtanen and Jankowski for Benn though.</div></div>

Has Pettersson fallen out of favour already? If he's a competent Dman, he certainly is worthy more than the very erratic and often meh Virtanen. Holtby just isn't worth his contract anymore. Don't think he's the guy you want if front of leaky defence. Just don't believe he has the mentality to be on a middling team, after his successful run with the Caps.
