Since there is nothing else going on, how about those comments by Pettersson?

I want to stay (in Vancouver) now, but I also want to play for a team that's winning and has the chance to go far into the playoffs every year," Pettersson said in Swedish as translated by Bodin.
"I feel like we've got a chance to do that next year. If we have that chance when my next deal expires ... I don't know. I just want to play where there's a chance of winning."
Comments like these always rub me the wrong way. I understand -- he wants to win and doesn't want to waste the prime of his career on a team that might be poorly managed or in a rebuild.
But, as supposedly the best player on the team, it's also up to him to raise his game and help turn this team into a winner. He's only 22, he can't stay healthy, and is
almost a point-per-game player.
Maybe I just read too much into this. I admit, I don't like him. I've seen a few interviews with him and he sounds like a pretentious dick.
