This definitely screams desperation. Adding the 3rd is a massive overpay.
I'm afraid that this might mean Russell is out for longer than expected.
Any updates on Russell?
We got a third for Davidson, picks are over valued here

He's not a pylon. He's as good as Gravel (who I like a lot) with less of a step but more physicality. Some punishing hits. Petrovic is somebody that can really wake up opponents with some hits. The kind of hits that cause people to be less inclined to be in scoring areas.
Its predictable though that I would like this kind of player. I like physical D that are big and tough.
Actually looking at the advanced stats, Petrovic bleeds more high quality chances than Benning does

He can hit opponents but he provides zero offense, can't move the puck and has rocks for brains.
I would have been fine with Wideman straight up for him. Giving up a 3rd for a player who gets caved in regularly is mind boggling. It undoes the good of the Davidson trade, the one minor victory Chia had in the last few seasons. Somehow the moves that were hailed as his good moves go to **** (Talbot and Maroon, Sekera even though it's not his fault and the Davidson trade).
On Florida. We will see how he does in Edmonton.

That’s actually the going rate for bottom pairing D, HF overvalues picks like crazyGiving up a 3rd round pick for a bottom-pair D is very poor asset management. Sigh...
My theory is that Edmonton pro-scouting works off of three year old data.

What round was Brayden Point drafted in again? People act like players can’t come from third rounders lolWhat rounds were Caleb Jones and Juhjar Khaira drafted?
Koskien is trending down and Chaisson is injured, They both could sigh elsewhere next season.Shouldn’t have signed Chia’sson or Koskinen either according to most before the season started.
And here is the thought process that leads to having a team like ours.We got a third for Davidson, picks are over valued here
He has 10% of Benning offensive ability and is just as bad defensively.I think this move is to eventually replace Benning. For now push him down the line up. Which I have mixed feelings about.
Benning impressed in 2016-2017 and then... just never really reached that level again and has really struggled with consistency. Even in the middle of games he is so wildly inconsistent. He is an nhl bottom pairing defender but typically fails against higher competition and has brain farts.
At one point Petrovic was looking like a solid top 4 defender but obviously not the case right now. Imo he is at least as good as Benning but much more of a low event type defender.
Russell Larsson
Nurse Petrovic
Gravel Benning
Is a crap defense but the kind that can tread water and reduce everyones stress a tiny bit. Until Klefbom gets back... and Sekera?
Its not so much the pick.We got a third for Davidson, picks are over valued here
