I was just taking a look at this and noticed you have Shane Bowers on the Sens list, who was traded to Colorado for Duchene. Who would you replace him with? Batherson? Formenton?

I really should just delete it and start over now haha. But I like Batherson more. And now I go to end that part too

great article...

just torn on who to grab hold of...Tolvanen who i know is coming over to play this year so hes a keepable product for me, or Pettersson, who may get a game this year, however is potentially not, which makes him ineligible to keep for me and id have to draft him..

i like Pettersson over Tolvanen, so this ones tough..for me

I'm pretty sure Vancouver is not going to burn a year off Pettersson's contract. Teams are already preparing for the 2020 Seattle expansion draft, and burning a year now would mean you have to protect him there. Besides, Pettersson needs to bulk up before playing in the NHL, so better to wait until next season.

but does a handful of games burn his ELC? i thought it only kicked in after 9 games?

I think from the expansion draft point of view, it doesn't matter if you play 1 game or 10 games, it still counts. But I'm too lazy to check that right now. I think you're right about the first year of ELC, though.

EDIT: But also, does it make sense to Pettersson to sign a contract, travel from Sweden to Vancouver, and then just play a game or two, when it doesn't benefit his contract situation? He has the final word on that because he hasn't signed his ELC yet.

this is true yes..i suppose it depends on a few things re:him signing his ELC, teh #of games he gets and / or is available to play
