Only 23 and coming off 28 and 27 goal seasons. Good get for Utah unfortunately.

Contingency may also be whether Utah can agree to a new contract with Peterka

…contingency could also be whether Ras will sign an extension in Buffalo.

To BUF: Andersson, Pospisil
To UTA: Peterka
To CGY: 4th OA

…or something wildly hopeful like that

I'm guessing Barrett Hayton is going the other way

While I think Peterka may be a bit overrated with that high shooting percentage, I do think that Utah is really shaping up to be a dominant western conference club in the next couple of years.

I for one am glad Peterka went elsewhere. Centers and young LD please.

I hope this blows up in Utah's mammoth face

Peterka - Cooley - Guenther line would be sick

[CFO]

Peterka is a solid young scorer. Period.

You can turn 4 or 9 into a win now piece pretty easily.

NHL GMs always try to do a one stop shop.

You're better off getting the biggest possible package for Peterka then turn around and use those assets for a now piece if you need to.

Can't leave out Keller.

This. Same as Robertson, it would be awesome to add Peterka but we need to stay on target.

I'm really curious what the return is. Obviously it needs to include both Wolf and Parekh, otherwise why would a trade happen?

[RedHawk12]

Heard something about NYI and Dobson being part of the trade.

Dobson to BUF, Peterka and 9 to Utah, Utah player + 4 to NYI.

If true, Buffalo gets shafted again

There's no way, BUF gives up Peterka and the 9th for Dobson?!

That makes less sense the more I look at it... Basically Utah gives up a player + 4th OA for Dobson... and then they flip him for the 9th and Peterka? There's no way Dobson commands that kind of return, surely.

Dobson could be UFA in a year. That would be a terrible trade for Buffalo unless he agrees to an extension.

[dammage79]

Dobson replaces Byram and Byrams en route to wherever. Thatd be wild trade.
