Not sure what u were watching but Petry was our #1 Def all year,sure Price was amazing in the playoffs also but Carey cant score goals theres a reason Jeff was considered for the Norris
Speculation: Jeff Petry On the Move Soon?
- Thread starter Baksfamous112
- Start date
It's his age Thats the concern and probably a drag on his value for posters on hf boards .

They could get more. I don't think Suzuki + would be enough coming out of Carolina. You'd probably need 3 equivalent pieces to be honest and I'm not sure Carolina is the right dancing partner here.
If Dallas still believes in their core for the next 2-3 years and Klingberg doesn't want to sign there, it would make sense to acquire a guy like Petry.
Probably much better to trade Klingberg for Petry + then letting him walk for free in the summer.
If the team was reasonably healthy then without question the answer is yes .
Maybe it isn't Jim Nill is stupid but that you aren't as smart as you think you are .

Benn& Seguin are anchors, if Dallas wants to be good they need to look past them and build a new core. Benn& Seguin core is winning nothing.
& Great job ignoring the trade proposal.
Kling has superior trade value to Petry so would be stupid to waste it on Petry.
You can make 2 trades if you are really dead set on Petry
& again what do you exactly plan to win if you spend half your cap on Benn, Seguin, Suter, Petry?
Is the sells pitch ”keep grinding boys with all those anchors”
Nice of you completely ignoring the fact that I said Petry may not be the answer but that if Dallas moves Klingberg, they need to have capable top 4 replacement right away - Otherwise, I’d keep him for the playoff push and let him walk.
Dallas absolutely should not overlook Seguin, Benn or anyone else of the core. That’s one of the dumbest thing I’ve ever read and it only make sense when you’re playing video games and there’s no human interaction. That’s literally the basics of any business management job. Clearly you’ve never managed a team or people in your life. A true keyboard warrior
Haven't you heard , they're smarter than actual G.M's , if you don't believe me just re-read their posts .
Massive overpayment for a pending UFA who probably doesn't sign with the Habs . Easy no .

I don't agree at all. I think I explained my rationale in my post.
Calling it a "massive overpayment" is hyperbole. If Klingberg doesn't sign, Montreal more than recoups their sweeteners in the first deal by moving him at the deadline.
Trying to give fair value and actually consider other teams needs, unlike a lot of my fellow Habs fans proposals on here.
Petry. Now Carrying his team to potentially the worst record ever as their expensive 1D man. Won’t stick up for teammates and lost his A.
That’s the guy you’re hoping to trade? Lol.
congrats on losing in the playoffs. No one remembers the teams that didn’t win the cup.
To be frank, most people remember who went against the champions in the finals. No one actually remembers who got bounced out the second round though unless it’s Colorado since it’s seems like it’s as far as this soft team can ever go

Dallas won’t trade Kling for Petry.
Won’t be surprised if they do something stupid but they won’t do that

Except that if Dallas is selling at the deadline they don’t need a top 4 right away. They can bring Harley up and let him play or move Hakanpaa up. If neither seems to fit in the top 4 then they could look for a replacement during the offseason, someone who’s younger and cheaper than Petry.
Also Klingberg is supposedly only asking for a million or so more (with term though) than what Petry makes. I don’t see why Dallas would bring in Petry rather than just fit Klingberg in at that point.
I don’t see Dallas moving Klingberg if they’re still in the playoff race at the deadline. If so, they most likely will keep him as their own rental.
Petry is completely irrelevant here and the guy I was responding to seem to have a hard time reading a full post. I never even mentioned Petry for Klingberg (that would also be a stupid move for Montreal who’s looking for futures). All I said was Dallas ain’t going to be sellers if they’re fighting for a playoff spot (which they are). That would send a stupidly negative message to your dressing room.

I don’t think the younger core of the team would take it negative as they know this is a business and odds to make the postseason aren’t in their favor. Rather than losing UFAs for nothing making moves to get assets for them to help the team moving forward shouldn’t send that message.

Right, so you're saying he can be great as a 3rd or 4th option on a contender... but the return should only be a 2nd round pick? If you can see that he's only in a rough stretch, don't you think the gms might see that too?
Keep underestimating his value and please, don't look at recent comparables like McDonagh, Ristolainen, Subban, Skjei, Savard...
The problem with his contract is the length. 3 more years after this for a 34 year old who is declining and has had a lot of injury issues over the last year is really bad.
If you think this year isn't indicative of the player he is, then he's also not the guy that got 42 points in 55 points.
And the reason he got those points was because he was in the Canadian division.
i think the idea here is to flip klingberg at the deadline . his higher value will be beneficial in zeroing in on a specific prospect the habs would want .

Obviously a lot smarter then you, Nill isn't giving up much for a declining Petry. nor do i think he'd even waive to go there.
wow your confidence is flying high again . let's hope mackinnon stays healthy , or your defenseman grow a set or your goalies actually show up this year .
p.s. it's been 20 years since the avs had done better than win one round . the only thing i remember from last year is the habs dumping the team in six games that sent you guys packing . do you remember that ?

when the contract ends he'll be 37 . he's still mobile and will age well . these injuries you refer to were hardly career ending . including covid i think he's missed 7 games .
