Why is Toronto getting the worse and some how softer player? If we wanted to run it back with high end forwards we would keep Marner

This formula of running three players at 11+ million AAV each does not work.

This formula of running three players at 11+ million AAV each does not work.

Might be a different story with the rising cap but I generally agree

This might be out of the frying pan into the fire for Pettersson. Not the crowd at the games. That's just rich guys who don't like hockey much. The media though...

lol no thx

 

[WTFMAN99]

Pettersson has had a rough few months and the model itself has shown it is not that good for Toronto.

 

[LeafChief]

Both teams likely prefer to just keep their own player.

Ewww no.


Pettersson is frustrating, but Marner is awful. He's got the regular season consistency that Petey lacks, but also consistently doesn't show up when it matters, and that's something deeply ingrained in the guy. That's not going to change. At least with Pettersson, there's a chance that one of this confident dominant hot streaks will line up with the playoffs at some point. Plus obviously the far more premium position, and just being a mopey sulky brat, rather than a little Mitch.
