Thread: 20 Playoff duds for almost double the cap max
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GM_SZK</b></div><div>You made zero point...who replaces Pettersson and why? If you convince me I change the lineup...</div></div>

Another user stated that Ovi has been good in playoffs other than this year, so he shouldn’t be considered. I gave the example that Petersson has been good other than this year (only one other playoff run with 18 points in 17 games). So if Ovi doesn’t make sense then neither does Pettersson. And if you’re arguing based on contract, they’re both in basically the top 5% of earners, so I don’t see how that makes a difference. Same for Sorokin— he’s been great other than this year. And if you argue based on age, well a 35+ year old Ovi making $9.5m is gonna be more of an anchor in future playoff runs (if he has any) than a 25 year old Pettersson making $11.6m. With all that said, Pettersson is still overpaid.

Completely understandable. My only thought is that he isn’t performing up to expectations with less than 50 points this past season with a little over $7m cap hit. Although, with a new (old) coach coming in they’ll probably wait to see if he turns it around. But if he has a similar season as this past year, do they start to consider their options?

As for immediate help, guys like Sissons, Novak, Lauzon, and Fabbro would be the most likely guys to be moved. I could see Sissons and Lauzon being really good options for this team— although it’s unfortunate Lauzon is LHD, and you have enough of those.

All in all, this is kinda the response I expected— but NSH needs to somehow find a top 6 center. Really tough market for that right now.
