And I feel what it signaled is that they’ve an openness and a willingness to maneuver on in the event that they get the best deal.

Perhaps it’s simply transferring off of the contract and valuing the area and never the chance. There’s a number of alternative ways to view it.
Rick dhaliwal: Pettersson’s agent JP Barry on the potential of an offseason commerce: “Not likely shocked, it’s a enterprise however Elias is planning an enormous low season, he’s tremendous decided to have an ideal season subsequent 12 months.”
