You claim Pettersson doesn’t make his team better. Let’s see if people agree

Yes having Petterson makes the Canucks better than what they would likely get for him in a trade. But paying him 9.5m when his contract expires doesn't making the Canucks better.
Same with Leafs, if they pay Matthews and Nylander 2m more each next season....the Leafs aren't any better.

Quoting: palhal

Finding anyway to keep Pettersson below 10 mil would already be a steal. When guys like Barzal get over 9, I can’t see Pettersson asking for less than 10
