People are so quick to forget. Hindsight is 20/20 but there was ALOT of uncertainty and drama surrounding Eichel before he was traded.

Eichel was getting criticized and labeled with attitude problems while in Buffalo. There was tons of drama surrounding him outside of his injury.

Also as someone else mentioned there's pretty strong ?rumour? that Pettersson has some nagging knee and wrist injury/tendonitis.


Pettersson is a HUGE risk. But there is serious upside still.
