I think MTL is out
Pettersons great, dont get me wrong
But Suzuki's our Guy, Our Iron Man. . .I just dont see it happening
IMO i see us Offer Sheeting him and leaving Suzuki out of it.
It'll cost us a 2025 1st , 2025 2nd ,2025 3rd and a 2026 1st to OS him at 9.5m to 10.5m x5 years
If VAN matches , Great . . . Not sure it sounds like its what Petterson wants but thats their problem
IF VAN doesnt match then MTL gives up key pieces during a rebuild where we still havent found our Goalie but hope its Fowler who's the NCAA's #1 Goalie by quite a bit as a Rookie but 2-3 years away. So those 1sts are likely to be anywhere from 6thOA to 20thOA
Remember VAN wants to re-sign Pettersson but he wont sit down and commit
They fear him signing OS after his deal expires thats why they're looking at whats out there.
