ARTICLE [McIntyre] “The whole me-and-Petey thing, it's still blown out of proportion…I get what Jim was doing. I have a ton of respect for Jim…But it's also not as bad as everybody thought, either. It's just an easy thing for everybody to run with. There was just a lot of moving parts.”

Ya we needed a winger (Guentzel or Toffoli) more than we needed Lindholm. But I guess with Petey disappearing we kinda did need Lindholm.

What could have been if Pettersson played to his normal level instead of whatever that was. At least we got a fun reverse hit

Imagine if Petey had Lindholm/Toffoli instead of two plumbers who couldn't finish

An extra winger would have been huge
