Good move for the Wolfpack, Petan replaces the production lost by Brodzinski getting called up earlier this season.

Why would the wild do this? Petan is 3 years younger and has better point production. I know its not all about points so maybe they felt he was a defensive liability.

What is a Turner Elson? Does he fight? Because otherwise, i don't get it.

Petan is an excellent offensive player at the AHL level. Just can't quite make it work in the NHL.

I don’t think age really plays into it, they’re both UFAs after this season.

Iowa's last place and not going to the playoffs. Petan's contract is up. They're just giving him a chance to play in the postseason I suspect. A goodwill gesture.

Seems strange as hell that Guerin would spend his time making this deal on TDL day.

I mean, what's next, a Stephen Fogarty trade?

It probably took all of 2 minutes. It's not like he can't work multiple deals at the same time.
