Value of: Jeff Petry retain $2 million

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

What is the value of Jeff Petry 4 years $6.2 mil

Habs retain $2 mil for next 4 years making his salary $4.2 mil.

1st round pick and top prospect?

Knowing that the team is hot garbage this year I suspect his value won’t be too heavily impacted. I sense that with his track record he could maybe score more in a trade, im just not what….Mobile , big RD are rare.

I think a lot of GMs would take a chance on Petry getting back on-track, the real issue is his contract. It's a real gamble to take on term, with a very real cap hit, at what, 34 now ? That being said I'm sure Habs could get more than the junk offers here, but a 2nd round pick and a good, non-elite, prospect would make sense for a team.

The best fit would be a playoff team with a clearcut #1 guy and a lack of other strong puck movers on D. Petry can thrive when he doesn't need to carry the entire load fulltime.

Petry (retained to 4M) and Poehling

keep dreaming

 

[Draiskull]

I see why you'd want to buy low but you're not getting a D that got 42 points in 55 games last year @ 4.25 mil for cap dumps. GM will pay up. The whole team has been garbage this year and he's injured.

Barrie had many more points than Petry last season and makes 4.5M. Yes he is considered one of the cap dumps.

You find it amazing that people aren't living in the past and don't place a lot of value in 20 games where everything went right for Montreal, as opposed to the more than 100 games where those same players played at their actual level?

I find it amusing that a guy - actually a whole team - struggled for 20 games with half of their lineup missing and all of a sudden he’s worth a couple of cap dumbs if and only if we retain.

Maybe if Winnipeg or Edmonton had a guy like Petry in their lineup they wouldn’t have been swept.

I thought it was because of Selke votes C MTL had? Or was it the power of Gallagher? Edmundson, Weber , Chiarot?
everyone is a superstar in montreal while they are on the team.

Well, it has to be something, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s just the fact that these were all good (better) players overall than the team they faced hence why they.. won?

So why is one right and one wrong when they are both 20 game sample sizes? If these past 20 games are not an indicator of the players value, then the previous 20 playoff games shouldn't be what sets player value either, yet it is brought up in every Habs thread.
For Clarification I think Petry retained is worth more than Kassian or a 3rd round pick - I'm more commenting on the fact that the 20 playoff games are used by fans prove worth, so shouldn't the 20 most recent games play also factor into the worth of a player?

How about neither are right. If you look over the sample size of his career in MTL and exclude this season as well as last seasons playoffs, his value is still high.

 

[Stuzchuk]

Something's clearly wrong with Petry this season.

He was still considered an early Norris candidate while having a career year not later than the month of March. This complete drop in just a few months is surreal.

It's pretty obvious that he was playing injured. And now he's finally taking time off. Teams know this. So pretty sure his current play doesn't affect his value too much.

Unless he has some personal problems that we're not aware of.

try removing a DMan who eats 24m00 per game from your lineup and who's considered one of the best defensive dman in the league, maybe?
The gap between Shea Weber and David Savard is quite large

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Pearson for him and a 3rd

 

[BCNate]

I'd love Petry on the Canucks, but we don't have much in the way of futures to offer up.

 

[jfhabs]

Based on his play, not a lot.

Based on GMs love players that did something 2+ years ago, he'd easily get a 1st plus a good prospect.

2+ years ?

 

[jfhabs]

Why would they do that trade? Gotta add a pick or something to at least make it somewhat fair

Personally, I think his drop off in play has a lot to do with Weber not being on the ice, helping take some of the load off him. But Montreal fans would know better.

It might have in terms or pressure, but I think it has more to do with losing his D partner Edmundson.
These 2 were our best pairing last year. Petry lost confidence this year and started trying to do too much. It's the case for a lot of our players really.
He's still skating very well, he hasn't lost a step or anything, he just have bad decision making and a generally bad team around him this year.

There is literally NO team around him this year. The injury list is so damn long the Habs can barely beat an AHL team.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Fits Carolina’s needs and cap structure, but who knows if any hurt feelings still linger post-Bergevin.

At this point I think the Habs would just want the best offer which is fair and not these garbage offers being thrown around.

I know, but that being said, he wasn't himself either this year. He was a bright spot on a few bad Montreal teams in the past. People just love to shit on the habs.

The gap between Shea Weber and David Savard is quite large

Considering Weber's play in the last playoffs and Savard coming to camp out of shape after winning the cup. Yes, it's a massive gap!
However Petry was our 1st dman already last season. Yes, Weber played against the opposition best line, but Petry was our top PP guy. No reason for him to do so bad offensively this year.
I think he probably felt a lot more pressure this year after Weber's departure, + he got injured and tried to play anyway.

 

[jfhabs]

Barrie had many more points than Petry last season and makes 4.5M. Yes he is considered one of the cap dumps.

6 more points while 56% of Barrie's production were secondary assists. 83% of his points were connected to either McDavid or Draisailt. He's a decent offensive 2nd pairing defenseman, but a liability in his own zone.

On the contrary 58% of Petry's point were primary assists or goals. He's been a top pair defenseman for the past 3 years, on an average team lacking star forwards.

They aren't very comparable.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Pearson for him and a 3rd

Nope

 

[Edgy]

Ryder, Halak and a 2nd?

He played without Weber before and carried the team. Weber wasn't carrying Petry.

 

[bleuetbio]

If Petry is traded, the trade must return a good young puckmover in the return. Being that bad right now is a lot about Petry's condition

Petry 1m retained for Myers

that really is brutal . a healthy petry is way more valuable than myers

He has 2 extra years on his contract and is 3 years older though. Also some injury issues with him lately.
