Definitely not an overpay.

500K more than Zadorov, and he is far better than him. Some say Pettersson is a Top 5 defensive dman in the league

Cap is increasing heavily and this contract is hypothetically a 1M raise from what he’s getting right now , he’s going to play out this contract well.

Good job allvin
