    In the right situations he'll put up 60 points. Definitely underachieving for his salary but I don't think it's worth giving up assets just to get rid of him. We can still use his 60 points and then trade him in his final year and retain salary and actually get an asset back. Right now, we would have to give up an asset to get rid of him. 

    We are tanking anyway and still need warm bodies to actually play. Might as well keep him. 

    Boeser is not worth his contract but he is still an NHL player. 

    Same with OEL. NHL d man. OEL, as crappy as he has been playing, is still better than Dermott, Burroughs, Myers Stillman. He was benched to send a message that he needs to play harder... 

    They are definitely overpaid but it makes no sense to pay to get rid of them to only replace them for similar production. 

    The real difference makers in this league will only come when you either trade a quality player (like Horvat) or you draft one. 

    You think he will have any trade value in 7 years? 

     

    They should be trading him for anything they can get right now just to clear cap space

    Petey becoming a force again. Last year he had to deal with a lot of critics around the league saying he was over-rated and not living up to the media hype about him after a good rookie season but now he's one of the best and most dominant players in the league.

     

    He absolutely single handedly took over that Kraken game in a way I don't think we have ever seen since perhaps Bure. I know Kesler took on the Preds in the playoffs in 2011 almost by himself, but he never dropped 5 points the way Petey did, ties the game late and scores a shootout winner.

     

    That was a warning message to the rest of the league. Then the next game he shuts down McDavid and Draisaitl defensively.

     

    Taken him a few years but finally Petey has arrived and should be considered amongst the league's top players.

    I listen to a lot of hockey talk on Satellite radio, and often people think of Petey as a top 10 player in the league when he is rolling. Not that he is amazing in one aspect but just being a well rounded type of player
