Confirmed Trade: [ANA/PIT] Marcus Pettersson for Daniel Sprong

[PhoenyX]

About what I expected. Two young players with a bit of potential get swapped. Sprong probably has a bit more upside.

 

[BonMorrison]

Nicely done, Ducks. Looks like Larsson made Pettersson pretty expendable.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Oh good, another bottom-pairing defenseman. We'll just throw him on the pile with the others.

 

[1specter]

Interesting. Could be a win win for both sides, though if Sprong hits his potential Anaheim runs away with this.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

A lot of potential here for Anaheim. Good deal for them.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

JR calls BM: "Friedman said we're working on a deal, wanna do Sprong for Pettersson?"

BM: Ok

JR: Cool

 

[K Fleur]

Is Petterson good?

I’d never heard of him till 2 minutes ago.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I'm not saying it makes sense, but his name was out there before IIRC.

Welinski might be the guy.

Why are you no longer a mod?

Never was, I was a contributor for awhile. Had to quit for work.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Is this why Mahura was recalled a couple games ago but didnt dress?.. I guess now he slots in the lineup?

 

[Duck Off]

How is pettersson? Ducks fans

And this possibly means one of the pens d-man getting traded

Solid. Won’t wow you. Ceiling would be a Hampus Lindholm light. I doubt he ever reaches that level. Likely will wind up as a 4/5 type. He’s a solid prospect though. Ducks D is just too deep. Larsson passed him in depth chart this season so it’s a numbers game.

 

[HOPE]

damn it's happening ! always liked sprong! wish montreal would of went for him!

 

[quackquackquack]

Is Petterson good?

I’d never heard of him till 2 minutes ago.

He has grown leaps and bounds over the past couple months. Very stable. Great in his own zone and is getting better offensively. Has been getting more confidence handling the puck

 

[bumperkisser]

Good trade. Happy to have sprong and his potential and petersson is easily replaced within the lineup

 

[Duck Off]

Is this why Mahura was recalled a couple games ago but didnt dress?

Probably. Ducks fans were puzzled by the callup with Lindholm healthy

 

[K Fleur]

He has grown leaps and bounds over the past couple months. Very stable. Great in his own zone and is getting better offensively. Has been getting more confidence handling the puck

Thanks, that’s cool.

Sprong obviously has tons of potential, just needs a coach willing to put him in a role to succeed.

How is his skating?

 

[seabass45]

Friedman is such a hack, though. Look at the bum incorrectly predicting for weeks that the Ducks and Pens were talking

A++++++++++++++++++

 

[absolute garbage]

I was thinking like 1½ months ago that Sprong and a 2nd rounder would get traded to Anaheim for Silfverberg, but given that Ducks have showed some life recently and Sprong hasn't, it's probably something else.

I see, for Pettersson. Like that deal for Ducks, Pettersson is a pretty limited player. Sprong has some skill at least.

 

[Gabrielor]

I hope the headline simply reads:

Pens acquire Pettersson!

 

[McDonald19]

I'm good with this, make room for Larsson and Mahura on the left side.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Mild Heart attack for a second

 

[bumperkisser]

we've been dealing a lot of d-men recently. guessing we're gonna start drafting some again

 

[Canucks LB]

Mild Heart attack for a second

Is Petterson good?

A safe #5 lanky defenseman with limited offensive upside.

 

[Sam Spade]

If Petterson pushes Johnson out of the lineup it's a huge win for the Pens.
