Speculation: Jeff Petry On the Move Soon?

[Archijerej]

Well yeah it 100% depends on Price returning. Any trade for Petry would likely take place in the offseason when you have a better idea on something like that

Yes. I doubt Petry's dealt at the deadline.

It’s a 2.5 hr flight. I’d wager that flight is easier than Montreal-Detroit. Do you have a source for his no trade list?

Petry has stated numerous times that he wants to be as close to home as possible, And Dallas is over 1,000 miles away. The only west team he might waive for is Chicago since it's closer to Detroit then Montreal. There was mentioning that all western teams were included in his no trade list that he'd only waive to stay in the east.

I doubt Petry will have that much levrage in the trade discussion.... The problem with his wife seems to be with Canada. Hughes won't make a deal that makes him look bad. He will be trade in the summer IMO.

He's got leverage, but LeBrun said Petry's camp is open to facilitating a trade in the context of a no trade clause.

I also have no idea where the no western teams comes from, the issue is more the Canada/US border ATM.

 

[absolute garbage]

I think Buffalo makes a lot of sense, but that would probably be an offseason trade.

He doesn't quite have this much control over the process. He has a 15 team no trade, if you assume that the other 6 Canadian teams are on the list plus California teams, Vegas, Arizona, Dallas, Minnesota, and Colorado, that only leaves him one more spot to protect out of St. Louis, Nashville, Chicago, and the remaining non-Canadian Eastern conference teams.

I also don't really see why he'd be opposed to Western conference teams in the first place. The issue is more about the border and covid rules, I don't think he's going to care too much if the choice is between a 4 hour flight from LA to Detroit vs a 4 hour drive from Chicago to see his family.

He stated numerous times he loves Montreal, hence the few extensions he signed not testing the market. Unfortunately covid not going away and the Habs crumbling have shifted his narrative.

You’re so strangely attached to this I have to to wonder if you’re family?

He has all the leverage in the world, He has a 15 team no trade list. So rather he can block Canadian or American teams on the list if he so chooses. And i read the article from his wife why she left Montreal and it was all about feeling like an outsider because she didn't know how to speak french.

Yeah go from one garbage team to another, Yeah don't see Buffalo being on Petry's trade list.

LeBrun reported today that, while Petry has some control, all signs point to his camp being open to facilitating a trade. It seems unlikely based on the smoke that Petry is interest in or going to drive his way to a specific destination.

I'm sure he does like Montreal or he wouldn't have resigned there, And as far as Covid is concerned it doesn't sound like Perty wants out. But Hughes wants to move on without him probably just too much money for his age and downward spiral of a season he's having.

To me it sounds like all Canadian teams are off the board due to Covid, So he basically wants the States only. And most playoff teams wont have the salary cap to afford him. It basically comes down to bottom feeders who can afford his salary cap.

The Canadian team thing is the obvious one, the issue isn't proximity to Michigan, its the border. I also don't see why Montreal wouldn't be open to a cap-neutral trade if it fits their needs. And there are interested teams per Friedman and LeBrun.

It does sound like Petry wants out. I don't blame him either, he's away from his family.

The contract is not ideal given where the Habs are, but it really depends what the reasons for his massive decline. Age is always a good bet, but TBH he hasn't really slowed down, he just looks checked out.

 

[Gillings]

hmm the new GM is very transparent

Not always a good thing

 

[Gillings]

The trade bait award goes to..........

My Name Is jeff!

 

[Mac Attack]

There was an article, That Petry's wife Julie was harassed at a Montreal Costco because she couldn't speak French. Well yeah most Americans don't speak French.

Also most Canadians don't speak french either. Super uncalled for beahviour.

Yeah, I just read her complaint, problem is that “harassment” amounted to someone rolling their eyes at her when she said she couldn’t speak French.

That’s baby-poo level soft.

 

[Benstheman]

Petry is already on record wanting to be home close to Michigan as possible, Dallas is over 1,000 miles from Detroit and besides most if not all western teams are on his no trade list.

Petry won't be traded to Detroit, unless they want to pay the price, which i doubt. Petry doesn't have full control on his destination, far from it. Also his wife cries about COVID restriction. I guess they would be happy in Texas.

 

[Benstheman]

That's not how that works. It just means their rebuild is more frustrating. Refer to San Jose. Montreal also has an older core locked up, are they also poised to compete now?

Dallas are still competitive. Habs would be in the exact situation if Weber and Price weren't injured/done would probably not rebuilding if they were still playing.

There's absolutly no need for Hughes to trade him now if he don't get what he wants.... It's not like Petry can say, i'm only going to Detroit. I get that he has a 15 team no trade clause, but that's about it.

 

[Benstheman]

Dallas makes too much sense, they have an older core, so they are poised to compete now, they are losing two right shot defenceman, and a ton of cap space opens up next year. Plus the assets they get from Klingberg will offset the cost for Petry. A 23 or 24 1st and a stalled prospect like Dellandrea and a dump like Khudoben for a cost controlled Petry

I agree. But why not trade them in the same deal.

Petry retained 1,5-2M$ for Klingberg. Then Habs trade Klingberg for futures at the deadline.

You honestly think that Dallas is going to pay the price? For a 34 year old RHD making 3 x $6,250,000 having the worst season of his career. Even Jim Nill isn't that stupid.

Oh i totally agree, I don't see Petry being moved at the trade deadline. if he's moved this summer it's probably 100% at the draft. Thank god he wont be coming home to Detroit. We don't want him and Yzerman will not give up anything of value for a player that doesn't fit our rebuild timeline anyways.
