Fantasy Impact
Pettersson was going to be eligible for restricted free agency after this season, but will now remain a core piece of an explosive Vancouver club for head coach Rick Tocchet for the foreseeable future. The center is a dynamic offensive weapon for fantasy managers, posting a 1.21 point per game average (29 goals, 46 assists) in 62 games so far this season.
