Value of: Jeff Petry (with or without retention)

[Patty Roy]

Is Minnesota a fit? They look pretty thin on the right side given the guys that left this summer. Faber and Addison are promising but there seems to be little wiggle room if someone gets hurt or falters.

If the Habs take Goligoski back AND retain i'd have to think they could potentially get something interesting here.

 

[Captain Mountain]

yup but i dont think you'll see them try to defend that in hindsight.

Why would they, they were significantly more incorrect.

lol what's the half way point between byram and a 3rd.

 

[Captain Mountain]

lol what's the half way point between byram and a 3rd.

The 3rd thing was a consistent view among Avs fans. How many Habs fans thought Lehkonen was worth Byram?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Ryan Strome.

Maybe Detroit for Chariot with retention

 

[HabzSauce]

What do you mean based on what? He finished the season with 22 points in 34 games and was basically the only Hab to drive play and outchance and outscored opponents when he was on the ice.

He was Montreal's best playdriving D man on the Cup run and it was only after his freak finger injury that his play started to slip.

Where are you getting your info? Perceived vibes?

Out of his a$$

i think the consensus was a 2nd+ for lehky with retention

 

[EveryDay]

Wanna bet ?
He’s a cap dump the end
Montreal is stuck with him this year and they hope they can move him at next years deadline

All of the players in this deal minus EK are cap dumps to offset his high salary

He was a top 50 defenceman last year in both PPG and icetime in the NHL but yeah he's worth as much as Hoffman.

He was overpaid at 6.5M for a 35 years old defenceman sure, but under 5M per season or even lower with another retention he's a solid 2nd paring defenceman on pretty much any team in the NHL, NYR included with that overrated 3rd pairing guy Trouba.

Lol, it definitely wasn't.

 

[dirtydanglez]

Lol, it definitely wasn't.

you might be thinking without retention.

 

[Captain Mountain]

you might be thinking without retention.

I'm definitely not.

 

[tictactoe]

You want the habs to trade him to the flyers, with retention, and another asset so that the flyers can flip him at the TDL?

Cap space?

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

I'd love him on the Leafs, but it would be tough to make it work.

I dont get why he's suddenly this negative asset - was he that bad in Pitt?

 

[moody1122]

Great, now we need to listen to all the habs fans for the next 6 months telling us that they are getting a first round pick for Petry at the deadline

No, most of us want a 2nd + smaller add f we retain him down to ~2.35.

 

[NewEraGM]

habs fans wanted byram/newhook+/1st+barron. they were never gonna get that from sakic. they got a decent package tho. in the end they got newhook too but boy was it costly.

Lol get serious. No habs fan expected that

Your still pushing it,

Pitts had a hard time getting rid of him

 

[dirtydanglez]

Lol get serious. No habs fan expected that

yea they did. we are talking about outliers tho. most avs fans expected a 2nd + something small most habs fans were at a 1st+. in the end he got a 2nd + b prospect. roughly in the middle. slightly favoring the habs.

 

[Voight]

Petry @ ~3M to Dallas for Faksa and 1st rounder?

That would be an overpay by Dallas.....

 

[pth2]

Pittsburgh needed to free up cap space in a hurry. Montreal can consider retention, or wait until the deadline when cap issues are often manageable, or take money back, maybe even more than Petry is making. Montreal has a lot of options on the table that Pittsburgh didn't.

 

[Captain97]

Yes Pittsburgh had trouble trading him at 6.25...

We are talking about trading him trading him at under 2.4 million.

Those are astronomically different numbers. Justin Holl got 3.4 million ffs. Petry is significantly better than Justin Holl.

 

[Archijerej]

That seems to be the overwhelming expectation, but can we also assume that’s where you would draw the line at the retention spot’s value for two years?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Q

 

[HabsAddict]

Unless I missed it, there was no welcome back news conference. That makes it look like there is a deal in the making, although it looks less likely every day.

Probably starts with the Habs and gets traded mid season to a team with injuries.

I love to know which teams are on his no-go list.

Great, now we need to listen to all the habs fans for the next 6 months telling us that they are getting a first round pick for Petry at the deadline

1st is not enough, I want a 2nd added and a box of chocolates.

You know you have an ignore button and you can use it if you don't like a thread.

 

[moody1122]

I highly doubt Petry even sets foot in Montreal,

He will be gone before camp, that was probably agreed upon before the trade took place
