  3. Peterka’s next contract; trade, bridge or lock-up long-term?

    Playing with better players always helps with the counting stats, but the eye test shows a more complete player even when not playing with TnT or Tuch. 
     

    The bottom line is that this isn’t a surprise breakout year like Cozens, but the continued development on a top 6 forward who has improved every season in the NHL.  

    I actually agree with that.  He's still shoot-first, but if the shot isn't there he's been better at executing the next pass to an open linemate.

    If I’m Peterka I tell KA I want to get paid. I use Cozens and Power as examples. If he’s willing to give big contracts to players who mean/meant less on this team, he should be willing to give big money to one who actually helps.

    I think Kevyn could point at Dylan's contract year, and the following years, as a reason why he shouldn't give JJ a long deal.  A breakout year needs to be sustained for more than a year before it's rewarded.  Of course maybe Kevyn hasn't learned this lesson yet.

    On the other hand, what are the odds that Kevyn won't be heading up negotiations this summer?
