The Anaheim Ducks General Manager, Bob Murray, has made a handful of trades this season. Where are these players now, and who won these trades?

The trade deadline has come and gone for the 2018-19 NHL season. This season the Anaheim Ducks General Manager, turned Head Coach, Bob Murray, has made plenty of moves. Some have been good, some bad, some many fans liked, and some many fans didn’t like. Most of the trades that occurred this season were minor league deals so we’re only going to cover players who actually had time with the Ducks

How is Marcus Pettersson Doing in Pittsburgh?

One of the first trades Bob Murray made this season was on December 3rd, 2018. Bob Murray made a move that would see Anaheim acquire Daniel Sprong from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Marcus Pettersson. Many Ducks fans, myself included, saw this trade as a win.

Our farm system was loaded with even more younger defensemen, so losing Pettersson wasn’t an earth-shattering loss for the team. Since joining the Ducks, Sprong has been on and off with his scoring. He’s been more on the off side of the spectrum lately, but then again, so has the rest of the team.

Pettersson hasn’t seen too much success for the Penguins. He’s only amassed 13 points (2G, 11A) in 38 games. He’s also been in the box a lot as well, with 43 PIM’s. On the plus side, he did get to be apart of the Stadium Series game against the Philidelphia Flyers. He might also see more playoff action as the Penguins are in a Wild Card situation. Recently, Sprong has been seeing less ice time and more of the press box. So, for the moment, I have to say the Penguins win this trade.
