I liked his post so I'll reply. I'll admit that Larsson doesn't really have anything to do with this, other than him being in the lineup instead of Pettersson. The way I see it, there was no real need. The season was already pretty much lost and we had several winger prospects on the way. And the main problem was not lack of talent but the players tuning out the coach. I see this trade as Murray's last ditch effort to avoid firing Carlyle.OK. But given Larsson's being much less valuable than Pettersson, how did you expect Bob to move him for the need Sprong was trying to fill? We weren't just dumping contracts, we were trying to move D for F.
I liked Pettersson. Haven't really watched him with the Pens but he must have done all right to earn that contract he just got. We can only hope Sprong pans out in the end.
