The pros to trading Pettersson outweigh the cons, so don't be surprised if it happens soon. Teams such as the Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, and Minnesota Wild seem to be good fits for the top-four defenseman, and they're also teams that may be able to provide the assets Pittsburgh would be looking for.

Even if the Penguins go on an outrageous hot streak, I still fully anticipate Dubas to sell at the deadline. He knows what he has to do. He’s not in this to grab the second wild card and lose in the first round. Dubas’ vision is much more grand than that. The problem is that fans might need to find some patience.

Penguins Hot & Cold, Crosby Plays HeroPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson had a rough night and more than a few decisions that would make one kindly question his thought process.
The Penguins held on the rest of the third period to secure at least a loser’s point, and then controlled the puck for most of overtime. Crosby then turned to his trademark backhand for his 95th career game-winning goal, and fourth tally in five games to send the Penguins back to Pittsburgh in better spirits.
