<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Big ask there.

Last year I'd have said Yegor or Zetterlund.

I assume you're looking for a young guy otherwise I'd suggest a hockey trade with toffoli.

Holtz is there but I would be loathe to give him up

Holtz+3rd for Pettersson 50% retained maybe (I'm valuing Pettersson here at 1st+2nd, 2nd+3rd for retention and Holtz at 2 1sts, would be happy to swap in picks or other prospects if you prefer instead of Holtz)

-Graeme Clarke is near NHL ready but not sure that's what you're looking for.

My other solution/suggestion would be a 3 team trade where you can use the assets you get from us to buy a forward you want more if possible. Maybe Lundell could be available for a 1st+2nd, maybe Toffoli+2nd could get ryan mcleod if you retained on toffoli? Just spitballing</div></div>

Yup I think this is it, I'd see Pittsburgh more doing Petterson+ for Holtz than retaining, I know that means an extra move for NJ but pens already need to make another move to replace Petterson, no one else can hold down Letang or Karlsson icetime either than Graves (sometimes)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>I do very much like pettersson. I'd offer a 1st+Bahl as a starting point on negotations for him and think he would certainly help NJD

-He can kill penalties
-Has a lot of experience already playing with marino
-Good defensively
-Has term

But NOT at the expense of a Dawson Mercer.

I thought we'd be done with this after last year with Meier, who was a MUCH better piece than any of the other stuff I've seen asking for Mercer or Mercer++ or even still nemec, and Mercer wasn't even on the table for that, and Holtz (who I'm again seeing being thrown around as if he's just a B prospect), who was only on the table if it was 1 for 1.

But alas, nope</div></div>

Fair assessment on value but if the Pens deal him they need a roster forward with upside
