Hard to know if the injury affected him, it was likely a lost year for him.
It will be interesting to see if he responds positively this year.

It is not just the one injury, though. With Pettersson, it is now several rather significant injuries that have occurred every season. Over time, those add up.

Monny and Johnny were in the same boat to some degree last year. I think Johnny righted the ship after they moved Monny off his line. Monny did not.

I think what happened to Monahan illustrates my concerns about Pettersson. Monahan actually looked very good in first ten-or-so games this year, but then became noticeably ineffective. He has played through a tonne of injuries, and it is fair to wonder how many of those have already caught up to him. I think the same concern is there for Pettersson, except—unlike Monahan—he has yet to play a full NHL season.
