The Utah Mammoth's offseason focus has been on acquiring a top-six forward, culminating in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres for J.J. Peterka. In exchange, the Sabres received Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring. The Mammoth's acquisition addresses their scoring issues, as they had a strong shot share but ranked 16th in goals per game last season. With $20.357 million in salary cap space, the franchise aims to build a competitive team under GM Bill Armstrong, who has previously made bold moves, including acquiring Mikhail Sergachev.
The latest significant move for Mammoth GM Bill Armstrong includes landing J.J. Peterka in a trade, followed by a five-year extension worth $7.7 million annually.
With a scoring disconnect despite being a top-10 team in shot share, the Mammoth needed a solution, successfully addressing their need for goals by acquiring Peterka.
