Thread: (VAN/PIT) - Gudbranson for Pearson

Both have played 6 games. It's early, but there is a good chance of this trade working out for both teams.

Let this be a lesson to all the negative nancies who pooh-pooh any potential trade. You can't win anything if you don't take action, and there's no trophy for the person who wishes the hardest to get the lopsided trade of their dreams. A dozen opinions on a forum weigh up to diddly squat in reality.


It's so comfortable to go after UFAs, but most of them end up being anchors. A GM with guts can get a better deal in the trade market.</div></div>

Never, never, never judge a performance by a sample size of so few games. Yes, he's played well for six games. Compare that with over 400 games where he was actively hurting his team just being on the ice. Not to mention, you might want to look at his PDO during his time with the Penguins: it's 105.6, more than 7 points above his career average.
