Are the Leafs paying that price for their 15th Forward because we owe Burke money or what happened here

Terrible trade for Toronto, they have no need for him, and certainly won't give up 3 picks for him.

That petterson trade... LMAOOOOOO

No thanks on Pettersson. Blues are probably trying to offload a Dman themselves now. Not looking to take on another with big cap hit and give up all those picks.

I would imagine at this point you would get a minimal return if not paying to move Pettersson.

You're certainly not getting a package like that anywhere, but 100000% not from buffalo. At best Patterson slots in as a 3rd pair LHD and no way is the GM doing that.
I'd imagine buffalo is very content with Bryson/Pilut as that 3rd pair guy
