Speculation: Jeff Petry On the Move Soon?

[Baksfamous112]

Habs GM Kent Hughes says he met with Jeff Petry during the team’s last road trip. Petry did NOT formally ask for a trade but Hughes told him the team will move him if they find something that works for both Petry and the Canadiens.

Petry is a good defenceman and not as bad as his stats this year would suggest.

 

[Gurglesons]

Marino for Petry.

 

[montreal]

he's certainly played this season like a guy that wants to be traded. Will be interesting to see how GM's value him as you have to worry at his age did his game just fall off a cliff or is it becaue he's on such a shit team. He's owed 20M over 3 years after this season, if the Habs wait till after the July bonus it drops to 17M but still a lot. They could always eat some cap though for the right offer.

In the previous 2 seasons he put up 82 points in 126 games, which is a .65 ppg which over 82 games is 53 pts. But this year it's just been a total disaster for him.

 

[Gaud]

hmm the new GM is very transparent

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

He’s separated from his family on a last place team, my GAF meter would be on empty too. Just don’t sell low on him

Petry 50% retained for Myers+Rathbone+Dipietro

Petry 50% retained for Myers+Rathbone+Dipietro

Name me one reason why Petry would waive for Vancouver? His wife and kids are in Michigan and chose to resign with Montreal because it was still close to Michigan. Zero chance he waives for Vancouver besides i'm pretty sure all is no trades are with Western teams.

Also, that proposal was horrible.

I don't see his acquisition cost being very high after the year he's had as well as age.

A team I could see interested in him is Philly TBH. They have a large core of their defense hitting Free Agency this summer and without Ellis in the lineup their top 4 is complete shambles (hence their record this year). I think a top 4 of Provorov, Ellis, Sanheim, and Petry would be a lot more consistent than what they have now. Also if Ellis were to suffer another injury Petry is capable of playing those top pairing minutes in his place.

What if we included a 3rd and you only retain 30%?

 

[SwedishFire]

A big good skating soft offensove D man, he will get less than what canadian fans hopes for.

 

[Habs10025]

Marino for Petry.

Pittsburgh would likely reject this offer.

Petry is probably going for futures. Your offer is nothing but trash cans. Try again

Petry is no soft

Letang and Petry running the right side would be pretty sweet assuming the old Petry comes back and Pittsburgh is close to his family.

 

[Gurglesons]

Pittsburgh would likely reject this offer.

I’d hope not

Ok make it 2nd rounder? and only 20% retention.

 

[montreal]

keep in mind he has a 15 team no trade list so he will have a lot of say in where he goes

obviously. this entire season has been an injury-riddled-covid-shit-show for the habs

 

[HuGo Sham]

nope

 

[HuGo Sham]

Petry 50% retained for Myers+Rathbone+Dipietro

keep your garbage

 

[Mersss]

What if we included a 3rd and you only retain 30%?

We'te not taking Myers. He sucks.

 

[sheed36]

keep in mind he has a 15 team no trade list so he will have a lot of say in where he goes

And I bet every other Canadian team will be on his no trade list.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

If Montreal retains 50% he maybe has some value but certainly not a lot. 34 Year old Dman who's fallen off as much as he has the year is going to be a cap dump essentially.

Don't think he has fallen that much.
Wife and her 3 kids hate quebec rules and went back to Detroit leaving Petry alone and frustrated. Pretty sure he didnt see it coming. Petry been playing like he doesnt give a shit and everybody on the habs board can tell you that. He's unhappy

Perhaps there is maybe a year too much on his contract but he still can play good hockey on a well balanced team , but im sure habs will take another bad contract in a trade for Petry which would help a playoff team.
