[teddygmr]

its gonna be VERY hard to get any team to accept that contract!

 

[DearDiary]

Your 1st for future considerations

 

[glenbuis]

no need to panic and sell low on petry . will need nhl d even when we're tanking . circle back around on this idea in year 3 of his contract .

 

[Cenzhin]

M-NTC + brutal contract makes him pretty much untradeable at this point. He's closer to being a cap dump than an asset.

 

[jfhabs]

His contract is fine, what the hell am I reading here. The team is bad this year, Jeff Petry is still arguably a number 2 on most teams.

 

[SML2]

Weren't there people saying he should win the Norris early last year? WTF happened?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Vlasic straight up.

Personally, I think LA is the best option.

1. They have a glaring, immediate, need for RHD.

2. They aren't going to be as concerned about Petry's age because they still have guys like Kopitar and Doughty playing at a good level and will probably want to compete while they transition into the next generation of players.

3. Although Petry makes a ton of coin, LA has some contracts to send back to make it work. Montreal, with all their guys on LTIR aren't likely worried about taking back salary. Especially short-term salary

4. Montreal needs young player(s) back for Petry. Picks are 2-3 years from contributing, Montreal is better off with prospects than picks. Simply selling off Petry sends a poor message to existing players, fans, etc... getting back young players suggests a re-tool rather than a rebuild. LA meanwhile will be reticent to send out a 1st while their team is struggling.

Vlasic straight up.

wishful thinking on your behalf

he's having a rough start to the season...
So now is the time to sell low!

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I'd buy out either anyway lol

 

[sansabri]

I'd buy out either anyway lol

you'd buy out a dman who had 42 pts in 55 games just last season, huh. pretty ballsy if you ask me

yeah they should close this up . when he gets edmundson back they'll be a solid top 4 pairing again.

If I could turn around and move Petry for less of a contract, I would but I wouldn't expect that.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Ceci + we give back that 2nd round pick, and the conditional 4th, you retain 25%

We agree to say sorry to the way we treated him back then, we were young and stupid.

1 no they don't Kyle Clague is filling in just fine. 2 points in two game both pp which is a huge need.
2 Petry would be blocking the defense we have coming including Clarke Grans Spence among others.
3 we could use the space better for a left handed defenseman.
4 la first is not going anywhere

Nothing to do with any proposals here, but I would think LA is open to trading their 1st these days

 

[Gurglesons]

Letang for Petry?

 

[Quack Shot]

Why trade him? He was terrific in the playoffs, what happened?

 

[TBF1972]

Just a year ago Montreal declared themselves off-season winners and yes, they made it to SC Finals. I said back then Bergevin misfired his cap space to quick.

One year later most of the long term contracts signed look problematic and we have seen trade proposals for Gallagher, Anderson and Petry, while two third of their top 3 centets are off the team.

I wonder how long ownership accepts Bergevin's short sighted cap management. If fans can't see the big picture, it's excusable. The GM?

Jeff Petry has a full NTC, So he goes to a team of his own chosen.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Letang for Petry?

Get real Letangs a UFA Petry still has 3 more years after this. Pittsburgh still adds.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Vlasic straight up.

Zero chance of Petry waiving for San Jose, He wants to stay close to home to Michigan with his children in school there.

 

[Gurglesons]

I’d assume that is the benefit for PIT and the benefit for Montreal tbh.

What do you expect the return is for Petry?
