There is some good news about his future with the Sabres 

Interviewer: "Do you see your future in Buffalo and want to stick around to help the organization return to its former strength?"

JJ: "Definitely. If you look at the talented young players we have and of which I'm now a part, I want to continue building on that. I think we can create something really special in the coming years."

Sort of the copy paste answer but better than nothing 

I don’t think he’s a crucial piece but he’s a pretty good player

I'd disagree. I think he is a crucial piece. He's trending towards being a ppg winger. Will he ever be a Selke guy or a truly elite player? I don't think so; but ppg guys (especially homegrown ones) are what winning teams need.

Few crucial players on a 75 point team. Never mind wingers. 

I’m not saying I wouldn’t keep him I’m saying he’s not a crucial piece in building a playoff team - we just signed a 50+ point winger in FA it’s the one thing you CAN get with relative ease. I see talent but not a game breaker right now with Peterka 

I’m not creating statues of him like Terry

I think he’s a crucial piece in the sense that if we trade him we need to be getting a crucial piece back.

Given the success St. Louis had I think we are going to see several offer sheets around the league this year and Peterka could be one of them. What KA does with it who knows.

Still up to the players to sign them first.

So you're saying running multipage threads on players wanting out due to their reactions after they score might be a waste of time?

That said, I remember UPL doing a Finnish interview where he seemed unhappy and didn't like being called UPL. Do you think we can lay into the UPL thing a little harder? I figure we can upgrade from him with a 37yo journeyman, and keep the $5 million a season for a new paint job in the arena.

Yes it is, but if you were a player and had a chance at getting out of here with a big contract wouldn't you take it?

For some Buffalo has more appeal than florida and california, certainly if you are pretty well grounded.
