The Pittsburgh Penguins may not get great trade value if they decide to trade him right now.
Considering his career and usage with the Pittsburgh Penguins, it’s likely that defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph will be used as a trade chip.
The coaching staff does not seem to fully trust him and it seems like a fresh start somewhere else is inevitable.
With a trade, the expectations should be quite low based on a similar trade in the NHL recently.
They are the same player, almost identical in every area of performance in the NHL.
Pierre-Olivier Joseph vs. Calen Addison
| Joseph | Category | Addison |
|---|---|---|
| Joseph | Category | Addison |
| 24 | Age | 23 |
| $825,000 | Salary | $825,000 |
| RFA 2024 | Contract Expiry Status | RFA 2024 |
| 100 | Games Played | 92 |
| 6 | Goals | 5 |
| 21 | Assists | 33 |
| 27 | Points | 38 |
| 53.3 | 5-on-5 CF% | 51.8 |
| 53.4 | O-Zone Start % | 58.2 |
There might still be an option for a deal that brings in a forward version of Joseph.
Addison’s trade is a reminder to be willing to deal prospects for immediate help if you are a contender.
Despite his flaws, the Penguins should consider keeping Joseph given his usefulness as a young and talented defenseman.
