Proposal: Jeff Petry, anyone?

[HabsAddict]

Petry is not going anywhere....other the in NHL2000 trades.

 

[HabsAddict]

this is rediculous . even with the shortened seasons he's one of two or three defenseman to hit 40 plus points 4 years in a row . hab hating is one thing but this is REDICULOUS

Get with the program....Habs are horrible, tear down the team. Add a "hahaha" for good measure.

Amazing how the most obvious problem and solution escapes 99% of the tribes. Get rid of Price and bring in a real starter. Problem solved.

It’s so funny to me how people are saying Petry isn’t worth anything and even people saying he’s a cap dump, he literally paced for like 60 points and was a top defenseman on a finals team last year. Has a bad 13 games to start the season and now he’s worthless.

If he was on any other team besides the habs he wouldn’t be worthless I suppose

Zaitsev + Brannstrom + 2023 top 10 protected first.

Mtl is bad and I think they'll have to accept a full rebuild like NYR, Detroit and Ottawa did 3 years ago.

In 2018 these teams were all in the same situation. The aforementioned teams went for a full rebuild while MB went for a ''reset on the fly'' in order to give his fetiches veterans a last chance to win (short terms)...

But actually we, habs fans, are going to pay this ''short terms winning mentality'' the hard price.

Last summer party hangover is cruel and painful.

Even more when we're looking at NYR, Ottawa and Detroit all going in the right direction while we're going backward, with tons of risky contracts...

In this context, Petry, with his age and contract, doesn't really fit in the habs scheme.

He's 33 (34 in december) and still signed for 4 years (including the present season).

He'd be a good fit for a team in win now mode. I think a realistic payback would be:

- Lesser veteran with a similar contract, shorter + 1st/2nd (depending on the player acquired) and a B prospect


P.S.: Just consider that the 1st would be from an aspiring team, so bottom of the first round.


An exemple: Erik Johnson + Justin Barron (equivalent of a 1st rd pick) + Alex Beaucage/J-L Foudy (B prospects, francophones)

Given the personnel on their roster, I don't think Montreal's well suited for a rebuild right now...

I think they should look to improve on what they have, and try to contend for the next few seasons while Price is still around

He was really good last year, but he is also going to be 34 in a month with a 6.25 cap hit that takes him till he's 37.
Couple that with his poor start and it makes sense why people wouldn't be throwing big offers Montreal's way for him.

 

[Perennial]

Zaitsev + Brannstrom + 2023 top 10 protected first.

Too much from Ottawa, IMO...

Swap out the 1st for T.B.'s 2022 2nd and that's about as much as I'd be willing to part with

That’s a good point but I think a contending team that’s looking for a defenceman right now would pay a bit for a number 2/3 right d-man that is only making 6.25 for the next 3 years after this one. I think with Petry’s playing style he could last into his late 30s and he could still be worth that cap hit for the next couple of years

You mean always repeating the same thing all over again expecting different results?

Yeah sure, that's clearly the solution...

Personally, I don't say Petry isn't worth anything.

What I say is his contract/age doesn't fit with the habs situation.

He should go to a team that is in a win now position. Them being ready to take the risk of his contract in order to be able to win it all.

Just like J. Brisebois did when paying a high price to acquire Coleman and Goodrow.

And I understand that a contender team would have to send big contracts back. As long as the contracts are shorter and some future (draft picks/prospects) comes back the habs way in the trade.

Get real, Petry was drafted in 2006

 

[JoelWarlord]

Rasmus Ristolainen was worth a 1st and the Habs have to pay to get rid of Petry now? Alright.

 

[Archijerej]

Zaitsev + Brannstrom + 2023 top 10 protected first.

This is a good start as it at least gives Montreal a right-handed placeholder with some puck-moving ability in Zaitsev.

I doubt Montreal would be very interested in Brannstrom given their depth of LD prospects and his apparent inability to crack the roster. Also, Ottawa would surely want to make that 1st top-10 protected

What do the Senators have in terms of RD or C prospects? Bernard-Docker? I don't know how high Montreal's scouting staff is on him.

To MTL:

Nikita Zaitsev
Jacob Bernard-Docker
2023 1st round pick (top-10 protected)

To Ottawa:

Jeff Petry
MTL's 2022 3rd round pick

 

[Syckle78]

His contract being an issue has nothing to do with age or his play. It's simple going to be difficult to find a contender that has the ability to take on a 6+m cap commitment for 3 years. He's a very good defensemen but what team that can use him can also afford that?

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

The Senators would be interested, but I doubt Petry waives to go there haha

The Sens aren't trading first round picks yet.

They learned that lesson with the Duchene and Karlsson trades.

 

[elitepete]

Myers+Sutter+Jurmo for Petry is my offer from the Canucks

No interest in any of those players.

You realise we are horrible mostly because Price isn't there, right ? He litterally brought a non-playoff team to the Stanley Cup finals. We likely will not have such a good goalie in the next few decades yet he isn't a real starter ? Ok then...

Out of context.

Allen is not a real starter. Price is a real starter. Price is not available. Bring in a real starter.
