Post Dubas Detonation

Replace Pettersson with Pickering, POJ or Ty Smith and you're good. As great as Matthews is to get, losing Pettersson puts us in a really bad position defensively.

Look, I get that It's Matthews, but I find it hard to believe Dubas is able to look at the Pens' blue line and trade away Marcus Pettersson.
I know what I'm getting back, but Jake and Petey are huge losses at positions the Pens are thin. Is Matthews worth something like this? If he gets an extention, probably. But it's not in places where the Pens can necessarily afford to lose.

Probably not Pickering. POJ maybe. I also think the 1sts would be top 15 protected. And, Matthews would have to come with an extension. As such, Pit would have to have a trade partner for Granlund. There are a lot of moving parts.

P





Pittsburgh would accept as long as we can extend Matthews

Make a Pens lineup with this trade. I genuinely want to see what it would look like.
