He needs a change of scenery. Sign him and assign him to Rochester.

You can’t just sign him, we would have to put a claim in on his current contract. It could handcuff us quite a bit in a couple years. 

Also, if you claim him off waivers, you can’t assign him to the AHL.  You need to keep him in the NHL by rule.

The odds were against Petersen being claimed off waivers because the 28-year-old Iowa native is in the first year of a three-year, $15-million contract that includes a 10-team no-trade list. Barring a goaltending emergency, few general managers would be inclined to take on that much baggage for a goalie who has a 3.75 goals-against average and .868 save percentage this season, the fifth straight season his save percentage has declined.

The only thing good about this news is maybe Erik Portillo wont think the grass is  Greener on the other side

I think it worked out great for Peterson.  He went somewhere where he got a chance to play.  Got a guaranteed $15M contract. Pretty nice for a player who looks like maybe he isn’t anything more than a fringe NHL backup.
