I think the Pens have better options. Even though he's overpriced, Petry is still a legit 2nd pairing defenseman. Ben Chairot tanked Seider so hard when they were paired together that I don't trust him on my blueline period. I don't think Zadina for Granlund makes up that difference, and Granlund's buyout is pretty reasonable.
I get the idea behind the trade, and it's an interesting one to consider. Yeah, it's more cap space to build a better supporting cast, but IMO the downgrade to our already poor defense is significant enough to counteract that.
