All of this just makes me think it’s mostly inside his head, which is not a surprise. Could be something behind the scenes, could be his knee still bothering him to x degree, but really it’s likely a confidence issue. He just has to perform.

Well if that was the case, why would he have felt pressured to sign prior to the trade deadline when the major leverage used against him….was a trade.

this is what I noticed. So shortly after, he kinda struggled in 2021
he was put onto Millers towards the end of 2022, at a 88 point pace in the 2nd half of that season.
that continued on in 2023 where he played a bulk of his game with JT Miller and Kuzmenko.
2024 he racked up a ton of points in our own Lotto line which was Miller Boesser and Petterson, (our version of Mcdrai line) where all 3 members were average 3 points per game.
he split them up and that's when his production plummeted.

Not trying to fit in
I think this is total BS........sorry I think he's unhappy cus he hasn't been able to get it done for whatever reasons.......
Very interesting commentary by Boudreau talking about how he always wanted to be the guy - the guy playing against the McDavid's and McKinnons........which I love.
I just think that for whatever reason he hasn't been able to get it done and it's affecting him. He seems to be subject to having his confidence not as high as it could be if he isn't playing well...........Any conjecture about him not wanting to be here I think are not at all based on reality........VAn is a great city, has a very good history with Swedish players and he willingly signed a great contract to continue on a very promising team...........That's not it......not buying it one bit.

That’s a crock. There was no free pass. He got called out for his playoff performance by plenty of people, and using that chant thing doesn’t add weight to this nonsense. Brough tried to get that going because Pettersson was getting so much heat that Brought tried to turn it. It lasted maybe one game.
Btw, I thought he was good tonight again.
This is also a crock. Pure speculative nonsense

Interesting that the first year of his new contract doesn't have any trade protection but starting next season full NMC. I suppose the team was covering their bases in case of a change in scenery being needed. Maybe Carolina still is an option?

Much better game in Florida. Ideally he would be the one lifting his linemates but if he needs Garly and Hog to bring him along so be it - it's crucial that he gets going regardless of how it happens.
Just missed on another chance right in front and could have picked up some assists if Debrusk finished.
Continues to be solid defensively.
