Speculation: One of Mark Pysyk or Alex Petrovic will be traded by Fla: Update-Sounds like Florida will keep Pysyk

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Alone, probably a 3rd round pick? He needs a new deal so tough to gauge value but doubt he gets a 2nd on high end or a 4th on the low end.

So no to Ouellet then.

Thanks for the reply.

I offer from Edmonton our 3rd rounder this year + Caggiula for Petrovic.

Darn, I felt like something around Brock Nelson for Pysyk could have been good for both clubs.

Pysyk wasn’t nearly as bad last season as people are saying...the team as a whole struggled defensively for the vast majority of the year. Pysyk is a solid #4 or #5, would keep him over Petrovic. Ya Petro is more physical and will fight but there’s too much bad blood brewing with him now after his brother took to Twitter and criticized the coaching staff and ownership (I think).

One Mark Pysyk please.

Base around Connor Brown with small adds on each side.

Or would you prefer Greg Pateryn?
His UFA contract might cost more than Petrovic's RFA contract, but no trade pieces required.

Naturally a Seabrook for petrovic trade makes sense

I'd prefer Pysyk over the other two, even at a cost.

Haha it's funny because you clearer wrote that in your original post, but my brain read it as "Petrovic" not "Pysyk", which is why I asked "Petrovic or Pateryn"

whoops!

What in the world are the Panthers doing?

Trading the 4th dman they protected in the expansion draft.

If they had gone 7-3 instead of 4-4 they could have kept Smith and Marchessault.

I enjoy how it is all non-Panther fans saying he can play the top 4 but nowhere on the Florida board or no Panther fans here are saying anything other than he is a 3rd pairing guy. Hopefully other GMs are just looking at his corsi and did not actually see him play.

I like Petro alot. Always have. I might not be in the majority on the panthers board but I see what Tallon sees in the kid. He can play mid pair shutdown with some skill... But he excelled as a 3rd pairing shutdown this year. Kids a good player..

What would Florida want for Petrovic from the Oilers?

I love Petrovic back from his days with the Rebels, but I don't see where he fits on the Oilers. I'd offer reclamation price (mid round pick) at most right now. We already have Benning as our #6 and maybe Bear ahead of Petrovic as well (he looked better last season already).

 

[ManofSteel55]

Something like Kassian or Khaira.

Big time pass. Petro would probably be our #7 defenseman coming into the season.
