JJ Peterka was traded to the Boston Bruins by the Utah Mammoth on Friday.
The Mammoth received the No. 23 pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and a conditional first-round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft. Boston had received the 2028 first-round pick from the Florida Panthers in the deal for forward Brad Marchand on March 7, 2025.
Peterka had 47 points (25 goals, 22 assists) in 82 games this season, his first with the Mammoth after being acquired in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres on June 26, 2025. He did not have a point in six Stanley Cup Playoff games.
The 24-year-old forward has four seasons remaining on a five-year, $38.5 million contract ($7.7 million average annual value) he signed on the day he was acquired by Utah.
Selected by Buffalo in the second round (No. 34) of the 2020 NHL Draft, Peterka has 197 points (92 goals, 105 assists) in 320 regular-season games for the Sabres and Mammoth.
The Mammoth (43-33-6) qualified for the playoffs in just their second season as a franchise this season. As the first wild card from the Western Conference, they were eliminated by the Vegas Golden Knights in six games in the first round.
The Bruins (45-27-10) finished as the first wild card from the Eastern Conference this season and were eliminated by the Sabres in six games in the first round.
