Peterka, 24, is signed for four more years at $7.7 million AAV, and doesn't own any trade protection until the 2029-30 season. The German winger dressed in all 82 games last season, scoring 25 goals and 47 points, playing 15:59 per night. He just signed his huge ticket with the Mammoth last June, so this is certainly an interesting development out of Utah.
The Bruins entered the day with $15 million in cap space, so can fit in the deal easily, and still have some wiggle room when it comes to free agency. They've been linked to a few left wingers, including former Bruin Jake DeBrusk, so it was just a matter of time before they pulled the trigger.
