So what's the deal with Pettersson does he have cooties or something? He is on just about every Pittsburgh ACGM done by Pittsburgh fans.
Ya, I was thinking with the flat cap and him getting older he might sign a one year deal and try to make one last run. U are probably right though.
No, I’m a big Pettersson fan. A 24 year old, LHD, that plays 18-22 minutes a night. Plays well on the PK and can play the Point on the PP too.
Never a minus(-) in his career yet and can move the puck well too.
3 consistent years on a play-off team and play-off experience. Very valuable in the NHL. And he’s still just 24 years old with more potential there. Long stick, long reach. I’m a fan.
It’s just the salary cap and with PO-Joseph, Friedman and Riikola all at LHD too. One of Matheson or Pettersson should go for salary cap reasons. U can’t have a 3rd pairing LHD making 4.2M per.
Having Matheson/Ceci and Pettersson/Marino was a luxury this year. Like having two 2nd pairings. All 4 play 16-22 minutes each night and on different nights get the high range minutes and more quality shifts. All 4 can play those shifts. That’s a luxury. You can’t afford that forever.
It’s either Pettersson or Matheson or the pens resign E-Rod for 750k. Or move Tanev up to the 3rd line RW and believe enough in Lafferty/Zohorna/OcConnor/Angello and move them up to the 4th line. Or maybe Caufield, who is a Pens prospect who is playing in the NCAA right now.
Poulin will probably see a year with the baby Pens for the WIlks-Bury Scranton Pens in the AHL b4 he’s ready and up with the big Pens.
