Gunnarsson is a defenseman who plays a safe, defensive-minded game. Owns decent mobility and skating ability. Likes to hit and punish opponents physically. Doesn't contribute much offensively.

oh for sure they did. Its one of the things Linden is actually brining to the team, maybe far more than anything else, is trying to develop a character-based group. Adding some of these guys to Bo, Boeser, etc. is great to me. 

Jason Botterill is preaching the same thing for the Sabres.  They want quality people for players.  It's one of the reasons why Evander Kane's number will most likely be up in Buffalo before the TDL rolls around.

Are we to assume that the Sedins will be receiving contract extensions past next year? Petterson won't be NHL ready for another 3 years. Tough to be a mentor when they play in different leagues. 

I'd assume so
