Trading Peterka can help the Sabres in the long run, but Kevyn Adams needs to complete the work of building this team.

The Sabres traded JJ Peterka to the Mammoth late on Wednesday night. Was it the right move for both sides? It's time for trade grades!

Utah acquired forward J.J. Peterka from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for defenseman Michael Kesselring and forward Josh Doan. Peterka, who would’ve been a restricted free agent, agreed to a five-year, $38.5 million contract extension ($7.7 million average annual value) with the Mammoth as part of the trade.
