''Everyone can talk about the different scenarios. If he doesn't sign, well, you can make a trade and get a good return, but you'd never get a good enough return on a special player like Pettersson. You could shake it down in whatever way you want. You just don't.''



''They're hard to find, to me, he's a generational player in our organization, and when you have a guy that's going to get you 100 points every year unless he has a bit of an off-year or gets hurt. You just can't replace that kind of player. He's coming into his prime now. And it was just a big relief for the organization and I'm sure a relief for him. Regardless of how much you say you don't want to think about it until the offseason, it still sits somewhere there in your mind''
