Ottawa trade makes no sense for either team.
The Pens blue line gets much weaker without Pettersson. I'd only trade him if I was tearing the Pens down. Furthermore, Ottawa's goaltending was their biggest weakness this season and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Blomqvist takes the backup role from Forsberg before the end of the year. Norris is a huge risk given his injury history and high cap hit. I think the Pens can do better with their cap space than an expensive backup and a dice roll.
As for the Senators, they have no need for a LHD, with Sanderson, Chabot, Chychrun, and Brannstrom all NHLers and Klevin potentially needing a spot. I assume they'd want more for Norris given the upside, if they can convince a team he's worth it.
