PIT declines as fast as humanly possible. Take out Ned and Vanecek and those two picks won’t even get you Pettersson, who PIT is absolutely not trading.
As for what you claim to be a “comp”:
1. Pettersson is a better defenseman than Gavrikov. Pettersson also has another year left on his deal at a very team friendly number, while Gavrikov was a rental. Both of those factors make Petterson far more valuable than Gavrikov was at the time of that trade.
2. Quick was a rental that was able to be flipped at the very same deadline. Vanecek, who has been very bad, has another year on his contract. No team wants to be handcuffed by Vanecek’s contract next season. You would have to pay a team a solid pick just to take on this year and next year of Vanecek.
The Gavrikov / Korpisalo trade and your trade above are nowhere close to comparable.
