Ottawa adds 100%

Ottawa adds quite a bit

Pettersson is a 100 point, Selke level defense, center

Tkachuk is an all offense, 70-80 point winger

Tkachuk has a contract.

Pettersson can go to arbitration and walk to UFA.

The likely hood of Pettersson going to arbitration and walking to UFA is less than 1%. He either signs an extension or is traded and signs an extension as part of the trade. No team trades for him without knowing 1) that he’ll sign with them and 2) what his contract will be

But that’s all up in the air
U less Pettersson signs as part of the trade,
it’s gonna lower his value

Realistically no team would trade for Pettersson without assurance he’d sign with them

TBD…. We'll see

If Tkachuk wants out of Ottawa, he wants out of Canada, just like his brother did…
