Media ideas
Cole Bagley: “Bill Armstrong’s Peterka deal is more witchcraft. He just scored Josh Doan (19 points) and Michael Kesselring (29 points) 23-year-old scoring winger (68 points) (29 points). Utah’s defensive end is deep and just got a young offensive upgrade without having to give up the draft pick.”
Dob Hockey: “JJ Peterka is one step away from the stars from the roof.
In Kesselring A RHD, Sabers recovered huge sizes (6-5). There is also a guy in the character and Josh Doan’s six wingers.
I started to wrap my head around logic. The rating within the system is not a problem. But size and role address requirements. Maybe they don’t want to pay so much for Peterka. Still…it’s JJ Frickin Peterka! ”
Thomas Drance: “Obviously, this is a home run in Utah, but I love Buffalo. Kesselling is annoying, with a real top four (perhaps higher) rise. Doan is a dog. The buffalo tonight is worse than before, but given the situation, they have had 2 great full players with real ups.”
Belle Fraser: “Mammoth fans – I know it’s hard to see players you like to trade, but it’s a powerful move for Utah. Give two (more in-depth) players to get the top six forwards, who are 23 years old, and not even have a lot of potential on Peterka. No prospect.
Mike Harrington:”If you are trading Peterka, Byram’s trade (whenever it appears) must be in the top 6. But I realized it was #sabres We are talking about it, too. ”
jfresh: “For Peterka, the potential results to be confidently judged here are too wide… Kesselring looks like a stable #4 in the NHL, and size + skating + RD is usually expensive. Doan looks like a good third place. Peterka might be anything from Jakub Vrana to Jokub Vrana to Jordan Kessel,

Josh Doan was acquired by Buf, a young two-way winger with high electric motors and promising passing skills that took up very strong base numbers (but few goals) in Utah’s fourth-tier role last season. #letsgobuffalo pic.twitter.com/rceibockm0
