Does an Elias Pettersson trade make sense for the Penguins?

Kyle Dubas and the Penguins have said they're looking for mid-20s players who could be part of the team for the long run. Does Elias Pettersson fit that bill? Patrick and Hunter begin the show discussing whether Elias Pettersson from the Vancouver Canucks is worth acquiring. He's 27, he makes just a shade over $11 million for the next five years, and while he's seen a decline in his numbers the past two seasons, it could be more attributed to his environment rather than his talent. They touch on what they think it would take to get him, and where he would fit on the Penguins if acquired. (0:00) Then, the NHL Draft is just a few days away, and the Penguins still hold the 22nd overall pick, so they profile a big, powerful forward out of the QMJHL, Maddox Dagenais, who could be available when Kyle Dubas steps to the podium. (16:27) Finally, the Penguins have hired Ron Francis as a special advisor for the hockey operations staff. They talk about how even if this is just a franchise legend coming home, it's a smart move for the hockey ops department. (25:54)
