If you could trade him for Luke Hughes, would you?
Petterson & Myers for L. Hughes & Pieces (Tomas Tatar / Andreas Johnsson),
New Jersey gets way more dangerous upfront, gets solid defence from Myers, and Vancouver gets their set of brothers to build around.
NJD would also be able to move Timo Meier as they would have a definitive upgrade in EP40; It's hard to see how it doesn't make NJD team better.
