Temporarily. I don't think he or Laine will like their new digs any better.
Yes, it’s hilarious that Laine got traded to the WPG of America and PLD was traded to the Columbus of Canada . Love it
It’s possible. But it doubt it. Playing in Columbus for Torts would be about as bad as it getsPLD is now in the same city as his parents. Maybe for once a player a high profile Canadian hockey player just wasn't happy living in America?

Where's the leverage? Pettersson is producing like he wants to get paid like a 4th liner, and in a contract year that will see him become a RESTRICTED free agent. If he continues his current trajectory he's on pace for 16 points (23 on an 82 game season). Even if he improves marginally and finishes the season at less 0.5 points per game he doesn't earn himself much money or leverage. The kid literally needs to score at a 0.92 point per game pace just to crack 45 points this year. That's his career scoring pace by the way. If he does that he will end with 47 points, good for 0.84 per game. That's a decent step back.
Pete can always sit out, go to Sweden, play for his SHL team etc.
Pete is the franchise. You pay him to keep him happy. Jim has been losey gosey with money for crap players for years, this is not the time to play hard ball. You want to build a good relationship with your franchise player.
I think there will be a lot of disappointed people who expected QH's and Petey's contracts to be some sweetheart deals ala McKinnon.
The comparables for Pete are Eichel & Marner, Pasta and maybe Nylander. So think between 7 - 10 mil per.
Quinn does not really have comparables. That is how good he is. That should say enough.
