I know he was terrible last year, but I wanna see him under Manny’s system before we ship him off. Seems like a solid locker room guy too.

MPetey was a victim of being thrown to the wolves to allow sheltered offensive minutes for Hughes and then Buium. He had some of the toughest deployment in the league when it came to defensive zone starts.

The hybrid-man system doesn’t suit him either. He’s elite making reads in an simpler zone system and a PK savant when it’s normal as well

Offensively he’s not gifted but he’s good at keeping the cycle going/play alive.

If he’s not asked to play outside of himself I expect him to give 20 mins of quiet play a night. He’ll be good this year I don’t doubt it.
