The disastrous <a href='https://www.nhl.com/canucks/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Vancouver Canucks</a> season continues to come back to haunt them as one major deadline deal is already turning out terrible. The Vancouver Canucks came up just short of the Stanley Cup Playoffs despite being buyers at the trade deadline and adding several players. One of the biggest trades the Canucks made saw the team bring in defenseman Marcus Pettersson and forward Drew O'Connor come to Vancouver in exchange for Melvin Fernstrom, Danton Heinen, Vincent Desharnais, and a 2025 First-Round Pick. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/penguins/status/1885557863784866036'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> The trade at the time looked like a fair deal for both sides, however, the trade is starting to look like a steal for the Penguins due to the emergence of Melvin Fernstrom. <h3>Major Deadline Deal Turns Into A Disaster For The Vancouver Canucks</h3> On top of missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs and wasting the addition of Pettersson and Drew O'Connor, prospect Melvin Fernstrom has come onto the scene as a promising player for the future. Fernstrom, who played in the Swedish Hockey League this season, was named the league's top rookie after playing 48 games and tallying 17 points. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/sethrorabaugh/status/1924230174008119533'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Fernstrom really turned things on over the last 20 games of the season where he tallied 11 points. While both Pettersson and O'Connor have signed extensions in Vancouver the trade at the moment looks to be very one sided and could come back to majorly haunt the Canucks. Over the next several months the Vancouver Canucks and GM Patrik Allvin need to surround Pettersson, O'Connor and the Canucks core group with more talent. If the Canucks once again fail to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs this trade could be cemented as one of the worst in recent memory in the NHL if Fernstrom becomes a star.
