Confirmed with Link: Jeff Petry (50% retained) traded to DET for Gustav Lindström and conditional 4th-round pick in 2025 (later of Detroit or Boston's pick)

[sampollock]

no way Petry wanted to play here. so here you have it

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

I wonder if they want to trade a Barron or a Mailloux. With Reinbacher now, I think one of those guys will end up being traded.

 

[sampollock]

I haven't seen a ton of him, but he's a very poised guy in his own zone. Always looks calm and careful and doesn't seem to get rattled with the puck on his stick.

Doesn't seem to have much in the way of offensive instincts, but is generally quite reliable and usually makes the safe play. He moves the puck pretty well, but there's no creativity in him at all, it's usually very safe and he plays a very predictable game.

I don't know much about his shot, but from what I've seen, there really isn't much of an offensive element to his game at all.

7th D man then or AHL

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, that's a meh deal. Was definitely hoping for a 2nd or 3rd at least and a better player than Lindstrom, who sucks.

However, Petry is 36 in December, and still has 2 more years left of that contract. We managed to dump Hoffman & Pitlick, and we got back a 2nd, 4th, Legare, Lindstrom & Smith. Also added $2,343,750 in retained salary for 2 years. We have one RS spot left this year.

Lindstrom will provide minor league RD depth, or will take Wideman's #8D spot.

All in all, a lot of moving parts of players we don't want, but still got a 2nd & 4th out of it. I'll take it.

Now send DeSmith away.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Some would say he paid 6M for a 4th round pick.

Others said he just saved 6M.


Some contenders were sleeping on the job. Like the Oilers. Hold this L.

nope no young D man going , unless a bigger deal

And hopefully neither Harris nor Xhekaj got to Laval.

I feel like Barron is being groomed as the eventual Matheson replacement, so I feel like he may end up in Laval again as he won't be getting much PP time to start. I feel like we have to start giving all these guys icetime though we have decisions to make with Reinbacher and Hutson coming in in a year or two. Pump up their value and trade who isn't a long-term plan.

Unless we think

Hutson-Reinbacher
Harris-Guhle
Xhekaj-Barron

is the long term plan. How often do you have an entire core of homegrown guys though?

 

[Wats]

Damn that's it? Rather they kept Petry and try to move him midseason.

He'll never be a top 4 that's for sure. But he shot R and is not small. Could become a good 3rd pairing guy we'll see. He's the same age as Suzuki too so fit the window. At worse he'll help us lose for another year rofl

 

[Vachon23]

I thought he'd have better value than this at 50% retained TBH.

Not me.. he just had 0 value without retention

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

You have to consider the ENTIRE league knew Petry was playing here and already requested out. Plus, maybe it’s known he just wants to go home or Kent was doing them a favour, in that case, you’re not going to get much value. Still overall good cause we got a freaking 2nd for Mike Hoffman

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

nope no young D man going , unless a bigger deal

If they’re going to trade one of those guys it’s going to be for something significant I’m sure

 

[FerrisRox]

Lindstrom is just a guy, they're not making this trade "for" Lindstrom.

A little birdie told me that they actually *did* trade specifically for Lindstrom. He was who they wanted out of Detroit and apparently the Wings said no at first and Montreal engaged with another team about a possible Petry deal when the Wings doubled back and agreed to move Lindstrom.

 

[Dach Vader]

Petry probably wouldn't waive for the teams that were interested.

Not the return i had hoped for but Its fine. We got a couple of picks and moved out a couple forwards we didn't have room for

 

[Wats]

Yzerman getting a 30-40pt RD for 2.3M next 2 years capable of 20+min/game seems like a major steal for a low 4th.

 

[Redux91]

Lol wellp
So much for all that
Buh bye Jeff again
Savard back to RD1!

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

any hope for Lindstrom or is it an AHL/Europe career

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Petry is an old decrepit man with no value what did you guys expect

Yeah, when you look at it from its entirety like this, it's fine. Matheson, a 2nd & two 4ths is decent work for 4 guys we didn't want, and who were mostly crap for us by the end.

Also, you forgot Legare.

 

[JoelWarlord]

I'm pretty confident the Oilers would be on his no trade list.

who is the bird?

 

[Rapala]

He'll never be a top 4 that's for sure. But he shot R and is not small. Could become a good 3rd pairing guy we'll see. He's the same age as Suzuki too so fit the window. At worse he'll help us lose for another year rofl

Does he have more upside than Kovacevik is what I'd like to know.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

If Petry wasn't willing to play in Montreal then he would have had Montreal on his NTC. 'Petry didn't want to be here so the return is lowered' sounds like hogwash to me.

I'd have played him if that's the best we could get.

There was no scenario where he could have remotely fathomed Montreal reacquiring him and would not have seen the need to even list them which in effect gave him a 16 team NTC. He clearly reaffirmed to Hughes that he did not want to go back to Montreal where his wife would be the subject of abuse.

How is all of this not obvious to you as a viable likelihood?

Interesting, I look at him as a generic 6-7 but I guess at 24 he makes sense as a target when the alternative offers were likely just other teams sending back their own equivalents to Chris Wideman to even out contract slots.

Asset management isnt always sexy folks. We added a few more assets essentially for nothing in the past few weeks and made some space for the young guys. Those are the small wins you have to take sometimes.
