Boudreau took the mic today to discuss the Canucks, and when asked about Pettersson, Boudreau gave a response that reveals a lot about Pettersson's character:
On Wednesday, Matthews inked a massive four-year deal with a $13.25M cap hit. Asked to compare Pettersson's impact to the Matthews effect in Toronto, Boudreau gave an extremely promising statement and pointed out precisely why the Canucks can't drop the balls on EP40:
The Swede was excellent in 2022-2023 and put up a career-high 102 points. As he's pointed out on various occasions, he's only hoping to break that score an establish new highs for himself. Can he prove once again that he's more valuable to the Canucks than Matthews is to the Leafs?
