Player Discussion John-Jason (JJ) Peterka, RW (34th overall, 2020) -- Signed to ELC

[TheBarnIsElectric]

Since Adams brought it up today, wondering where everyone lands on bridge vs. long-term deal for him (assuming he's open to long-term)?

AFP has a bridge at 2 x $4.22M and a long-term deal at 6 x $6.62M.

Bridge all day. He can score us some points, but he's still not good defensively and he doesn't go to the net enough.

I'm not committing long term to anyone else on this team unless I am SURE I can't do better in their roles.

Worst case scenario, he turns into a really good player and you have to pay up in 3 years. I can live with that.

Servavalli: Peterka is one of the "Malcontents" in Sabres locker room with offer sheet threat an option.

They should seriously go all in on Marner and then trade Peterka for a RD.

I don't know which move is more hopium fueled: signing Marner as a UFA or trading for Brady Tkachuk.

Buffalo is a tire fire and I don't see a high end player with options wanting to come here.

It's cool that Marner is a Bills fan. But, I doubt that will factor in any meaningful way when making a decision on his next contract.

And I cannot see the Sabres giving him the 7x$15M AAV deal that it would likely take to get him to sign here.

I come in peace.
There are rumblings in Ottawa that Staois wanted JJ included in the deal between the teams. They couldnt agree on the price and that is why Ottawa got the higher pick back and then proceeded to get Zetter from the Sharks.

I am fully expecting Staois to swing back around between the end of the playoffs and the draft.

What is your position of need right now would you say and what do you want JJ to fetch?

It would be insanely stupid for Adams to trade Peterka.

I think we got wrecked enough by Ottawa for now.

Simple answer is either a top 6 winger, center, or top 4D. I would say Norris, but we now have him so idk.

There’s only two people Ottawa has that interests me for JJ. Zub and Pinto, in that order.
