This makes no sense from either side, but especially the Habs.
Why does Montreal need Nedeljkovic? They're trying to tank this year and they still have Carey Price under contract for several more years.
I find it so funny how short people's memories are on here. Sure, Petry has had an awful season this year on a very poor team, but no one seems to remember his playoff run or regular season just last year (not even mentioning he's been Montreal's best D for years and received Norris consideration). Like it or not, his previous play still holds value, the notion that he's a cap dump after 30 poor games on a bad team is very short-sighted.
It also seems extremely disingenuous that good player's on previously bad teams (like Detriot) had the excuse that they would be better on a good team, but Petry doesn't get that same leniency.
Nedeljkovic isn't going anywhere, and it's not a good deal from a Montreal perspective either. There's no counter, it just doesn't make sense IMO.
