If you're going after Pettersson, i would have to think you'd move norris.  They get a center who's cheaper (but still overpaid) and gets them out of that pettersson contract, and he gets a change of scenery.  Buffalo would have to add in some stuff to make it work, maybe quinn or rosen.  

I'd have to think free agency plays out first, but i expect most of the centers stay pretty far from buffalo.  Anyone of value in their 30s is probably chasing a cup, so they probably don't answer the phone when Buffalo calls.  

IDK - I’d rather have both Petterson and Norris as a bonafide 1C and 2C.  Move TNT over to wing where he belongs and then let the other pieces fall into place with McLeod, Krebs, Kulich, etc.  Our top 2 lines would be much more dangerous along with much better puck handling and playmaking center men.

It makes sense, but with that contract, I'd rather just keep Norris and hope he gets healthy and pass on Pettersson.  I think EP isn't getting moved at all now with his no-trade kicking in. If you wanted him, the deadline was the time. 

2 years ago, I posted someplace on this forum that Pettersson was on the verge of super-stardom. I was thinking top 10 player in the league. Whether through injuries or just my over-estimation, the only signs of him even being close to that now are the contract he signed.

If the Leafs sign Marner and Knies then there is no room for Tavares.

Come follow in your Uncle’s footsteps on a 2 year deal John😁. He’s having a hell of a season
