Sucks they never gave Petterssen a shot in the NHL but hey, a center
I wasn't as high on Petterssen as others here, and he seemed to struggle over the past month.
Maybe he was upset that he never got a call up like so many others did?
Either way, I didn't think we'd re-sign him

He was a small player who’s draw was bringing offense to the table, who in his 4th AHL season had 30 points in 54 games. He didn’t really come close to earning a shot really.
Change of scenery deal, MEP never really had anyone ahead of him. Damiani was pushed down in the lineup when the Stars drafted other centers in Dellandrea, Bourque and Stankoven and they advanced to the AHL.Then why trade him for another small player bringing even less offense to the table?
Not really sure what the point of this was unless MEP asked to be traded. He's a smart responsible player who used his teammates well and had some good vision. Quality skater who could carry the puck and had hands to beat a guy 1 on 1. Have doubts either guy involved in this trade turns into much at the NHL level but just not seeing the reasoning. Unless Pascall feels like the Wranglers could use a shakeup with their recent poor play.

Damiani could be a gem.
It's kinda a theme with Conroy. Find a relatively young player you like that's being held back by depth. First Rango, then Pachal, now Miro & Damiani...Well I guess that helps explain his 3 straight seasons of declining production then. I dunno I'll reserve judgement until I get to watch him but MEP was a big part of the Wrangler PP.
