I need this to be more than Nylander?s AAV so I don?t have to hear about how the Leafs got fleeced.

Petterson?s ceiling might be slightly higher than Nylander?s, but their career progressions are pretty similar. Petterson got to his ceiling a little quicker, but also had a little less leverage here, as he was a pending RFA rather than UFA.
