Similar potential but... why make this trade? Pateryn was 26 and in the middle of his prime. There as a high degree of probability you get very good value from him for a few years. Benn came in and looked good off and on. Then became a draft lottery protection asset?
Management should of realized that he was frustrated with his ice time and it was a legit concern. He deserved just as much of a shot as the other depth guys. I totally understand Pateryn and his wife's perspective. Yeah, the player is never higher than the team but the team needs to understand it from his perspective as well when there is frustration.
Not a major asset lost but still... it was a situation missmanged.

With Pateryn getting a decent contract and still regularly logging games played for Minny, it is safe to say the wife did the beneficial thing for him. 3 years, 6.75 million is far nicer than league minimum and 1 year, with the risk of riding the bus.
Yeah the hooking was rampant but very rarely called and yes the opposition usually felt it when those players were penalized.

I'd say he's easily worse and possibly much worse
Depends on the game. He has been very inconsistent for a vet type player. They like him though cause he didn't complain like Pateryn

Patrick Berglund fall is pretty impressive. Nice throw-in in the O'Reilly deal....but that's his biggest feature. Never achieved what he was suppose to in my books.

Totally agree. As you know already.

According to Elliott Friedman, Berglund cleared waivers.
I`m intertested to hear the message from the NHLPA if/when his contract is terminated.

Some people have massive recency bias and a complete disregard for context.
As good as Point is, he's playing in an ideal situation, often playing with Kuch, Stamkos and Hedman.
The Pateryn situation falls 100% on the player, his wife put management in a no win situation. He's not the first tweener player that struggled with getting ice time - there just isn't enough to go around to make everyone happySimilar potential but... why make this trade?

His wife happily bought his ticket out of town

Ummm, Pateryn's wife saved his career.
The Habs did not know what they had. She bought his ticket out of town and now he has a legitimate NHL career.
He was subsequently let go by Dallas by UFA status.
He's not a loss to speak of, and there are enough real cases of mishandling assets to be grasping straws with Pateryn.

It’s not surprising. He’s had moments (like an excellent game vs Winnipeg the other night) but it’s not hyperbole to say he’s been mostly trash this season.
At the same time, it could be just regular growing pains of a 19 year old playing D in the best league in the world, and maybe sitting and watching a few games will be exactly what the doctor ordered.
His stock has fallen though. Even a significant number of Tampa fans are now stating he does not have top paring potential and will likely top out as a PP specialist.
I think the habs ruined his development as well cuz he started his rookie season in Montreal
This is all Bergevin and MTs fault that Sergachev is struggling .....
I think he'll be better then just a PP specialist - but I've certainly changed my opinion on him being a Norris-level top pairing Dman.
He can be a very good 3-4Dman though, and that's nothing to sneeze at.

He wasn't let go, he simply went for the best offer as is his right.
Pateryn by himself doesn't matter much, what does matter is the pattern of mismanagement.

Let's try to nab him while his stock is low.

Recency bias
Watch him rise up again.
Experience and maturity brings more consistency.
