Elias Pettersson's decision to hold off on the contract talks caused a mediatic stir. While the Swede mainly withholds to drive his price up and ensure the team's in the right direction, everyone outside of Vancouver seems to believe he's already bought a ticket out.
Chris Gawlik, a reporter from Vegas Hockey Now, believes that the Knights could be a perfect destination for the Superstar Swede. With multiple hefty contracts coming to an end, they'd have the money to sign him to the money he's worth:
At this point, this is just every media outside of Vancouver going crazy about a restricted free agent. There are no obvious signs that Pettersson is asking out, and nobody has reported so. As a very competitive and focused athlete, Pettey only tries to eliminate everything that could keep him and the team out of a playoff spot.
