Sabres trade J.J. Peterka to Mammoth in massive pre-NHL draft shakeup
NY Post
One of the NHL’s rising stars is heading west to Utah.
The Sabres traded forward J.J. Peterka to the Mammoth early Thursday morning in exchange for defenseman Michael Kesselring and forward Josh Doan, the teams announced.
As part of the transaction, Peterka – who was set to become a restricted free agent – signed a five-year extension with Utah with an average annual value of $7.7 million.
The move comes before the NHL draft, which begins Friday night in Los Angeles.
Peterka, 23, is an ideal fit among the Mammoth’s emerging young core.
Utah missed the playoffs in its first season after leaving Arizona, but the franchise is stocked with talented young players like Clayton Keller (26 years old), Logan Cooley (21) and Dylan Guenther (22).
The Mets have subtracted a fourth member from their core.
It’s a simple formula, a winning formula:
The Islanders’ injuries have at least made one part of Mathieu Darche’s pending job easier: It’s not hard to discern what his needs are in the trade market.
The Mets–Yankees pipeline remains strong this offseason.
The Chiefs may be down another quarterback.
Draymond Green got tossed again, but this time, he has a point.
Andy Reid isn’t going anywhere.
The Yankees are bringing back another swingman.
It is not about any one thing.
The Rangers have another injury worry on their hands.
The loudest ovation of Friday night’s 116-107 loss to the 76ers had nothing to do with the Knicks’ pregame celebration for winning the NBA Cup.
Tyler Shough isn’t just a quarterback that the Jets let get away.
