Speculation: Jeff Petry On the Move Soon?

[elitepete]

We'te not taking Myers. He sucks.

That's fine if you think that. Myers has a bad contract but has played pretty well this year. He's a #4 d. If you are saying that Myers sucks based on the context of him having a bad contract, then you can say the same about Petry. Petry is a 34 year old #3 d making 6.25m for 3 more years after this one.

 

[elitepete]

keep your garbage

Rathbone isn't garbage. If he was a Montreal prospect, you guys would be calling him untouchable

 

[golffuul]

Could see Petry for Samuel Girard as a starting point.

 

[BertCorbeau]

34 years old with 3 years left at $6.25 carries some risk with the year he’s had. Has a modified NTC too. Would be interesting to see what he would get in a trade. Retention would help significantly

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Pittsburgh should be all over this if true

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Could see Petry for Samuel Girard as a starting point.

Could see Petry for Samuel Girard as a starting point.

Yeah very doubtful that Petry has any interest in any Western Conference teams. His wife and kids went back home to Michigan and he wants to be near them. fat chance any western team is on his trade list. I only see him waiving for an eastern team not western team.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

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

Yup and i bet those are all western conference teams as well.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Also, that proposal was horrible.

Yes it is, It's very terrible.

 

[Perennial]

I could see Buffalo having interest...

And with the Sabres having loads of cap space to take on Petry's salary, the Habs wouldn't have to take back a cap dump

To Buffalo: Petry

To Montreal: 2022 2nd

Or maybe there's a way to get Levi in the deal if Buffalo has decided UPL is their goalie of the future

To Buffalo: Petry

To Montreal: Levi

Gonna have to be some heavy retention to get some good value - but there should definitely be a market

 

[admiralcadillac]

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

How is he soft? He does hit.

Gonna have to be some heavy retention to get some good value - but there should definitely be a market

Why heavy retention? He's not even paid very much.

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.

The idea that he's fallen off is spoken from the perspective of someone who hasn't watched what a tire fire Montreal is.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

This year is a write off for the entire Habs team. If you look at his last 4 seasons he is tied for 12th in points and is 9th in hits amongst d-men.

 

[Qwijibo]

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

The wrong team is retaining. Myers at $6m is brutal

 

[Vachon23]

Pittsburgh should be all over this if true

You guys don’t already have Letang/Marino ?

 

[golffuul]

Yeah very doubtful that Petry has any interest in any Western Conference teams. His wife and kids went back home to Michigan and he wants to be near them. fat chance any western team is on his trade list. I only see him waiving for an eastern team not western team.

So you're saying Petry for Hronek, then?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah you're absolutely right.


It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact he's 34 years old and looks terrible.

 

[Canucks LB]

Honestly, This season is a write off.
Guy is a damn good D, Deserves a Haul

 

[MasterMatt25]

Could see Petry for Samuel Girard as a starting point.

Why would Colorado like that?

 

[Gurglesons]

You guys don’t already have Letang/Marino ?

I think most fans would move Marino in a second for a Petry despite the age.

 

[Mal Reynolds]

Admittedly haven't watched the Habs much this year but I remember there was some early Norris talk on here when he came out last season with guns blazing.

Throw in the family circumstances too.... Not sure he gets a "haul" but I'm pretty sure he still has some mileage left in him

 

[iliketorock]

Isn't Petrys game built around good skating/mobility and having a good hockey brain. The few Habs games I have watched those both appear to be there still. Someone is going to get a very capable top4 dman for I'm guessing pretty cheap.

 

[Scintillating10]

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.

Le Canadien | Kent Hughes disposé à échanger Jeff Petry

Petry looks lost without Weber. Playing like his Oiler days. Put him on a team deep on defense and a good leader should still get good hockey out of Petry. Habs will have to retain, maybe get a 2nd and a 3rd?

 

[domiwroze]

He was 2nd behind Fox for norris halfway in the last season. Jeff is simply frustrated, if you watch the games, he still got it, he just couldn't care less

Should hold a good value on the market

 

[RationalExpectations]

Rathbone isn't garbage. If he was a Montreal prospect, you guys would be calling him untouchable

I am a VAN and MTL fan, and I fully agree with this statement even though for me Rathbone is not 1st pairing potential,
He has the potential to be a 4D and a good option to quaterback PP2
