Toby Petersen worked a long time for his big break, and it came Monday afternoon. The 29-year-old center signed his first "one-way" contract in the NHL, hooking up with the Stars for two seasons at $550,000 a year. The one-way contract is important, because it guarantees Petersen will be paid at that level whether he's sent to the minors or not, but it's even more important because the Stars are sort of declaring that they plan to keep Petersen at the NHL level for the next two seasons. Petersen played eight games during the regular season with the Stars after a call-up from the minors, but he played 16 of 18 playoff games, including some strong performances against Detroit in the Western Conference finals.

A decent utility player that's good to have around in case of injuries. Easily replaceable, though.

I agree but if he plays more at the NHL level with good players around him he could turn into a much better player than we have seen and for a low price.
