Brady Stonehouse traded to Peterborough: Smart move or desperation?

The Petes are banking on Stonehouse's experience to help their young team, but is this a case of a struggling team grasping at straws? Is Stonehouse, coming off shoulder surgery, truly the missing piece? Or are the Petes overvaluing a player the 67s were seemingly happy to part with? What kind of impact can we realistically expect from Stonehouse in Peterborough? Will this trade help his development for his pro career with the Oilers? Is this more about mentorship than on-ice performance?

This trade also raises questions about the 67s. Are they giving up on their playoff hopes by trading away an experienced player? Or is this a shrewd move to free up a roster spot and stockpile draft picks for the future?
