The 23-year-old Peterka is coming off consecutive 25-plus goal seasons, including 27 this year with a career-best 68 points in 77 games.

The Utah Mammoth announced today the acquisition of forward J.J. Peterka from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for forward Josh Doan and defenseman Michael Kesselring. Peterka’s five-year contract with the Mammoth has an average annual value (AAV) of $7.7 million.

The Sabres have developed a reputation for high-profile trades that don’t age particularly well. Will the Peterka deal be different?
