Contract Status: Pettersson signed a five year extension in January 2020 and will be working on year two of that contract in 2021-22. The deal runs through the 2024-25 season and carried a $4,025,175 million cap hit. It’s believed Pettersson got this deal in part to “make him whole” after he accepted a contract carrying a $874,125 cap hit for 2019-20 to help solve the Pens’ salary cap squeeze of that season.
