Not necessarily. Canucks would likely match but the Flames would dictate the contract terms, probably limiting what the Canucks can do with Hughes. If the Canucks don't match I would be fine with taking Petterson for the picks as he's only 22 and the organization doesn't have a talent like him in the system. Good fit for him with the Calgary Swedish connection and Tanev. It's not going to happen because NHL GM's generally don't offer sheet other teams RFA's probably because it's known that most will match and it just drives up the salaries for everyone.
