Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] Jeff Petry signs extension with Habs (4 years, 6.25m AAV)

[bretpatrick7]

Wait till Krug and AP get their money lol

Yes, Krug is an interesting comparable. Krug is 29 y/o, averaging a little over 50pts/year (better than pretty, similar style), but Petry averages more goals and better defensively. Based on this contract, Krug should get maybe 7-7.25mill/year. We'll see how much he gets and term.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Really fair AAV but a year too long, maybe taking Weber's long term health into consideration here.
Good job on MB, MON fans should be really happy with Weber and Petry for the next 3-4 years.
Excited to see Romanov, think him and Petry would form a good rookie/vet duo.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Yes, he’ll be 33-years-old for like 5% of this deal.

33 then ?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I’d kill to have Petry on the Rangers. He’s a top-pairing defenseman. Would I want to sign him when he’s a couple months away from turning 34? No. And I definitely wouldn’t want to make that gamble a year in advance either.

The Rangers gave this same deal to Shattenkirk and it blew up in their faces. Shattenkirk was 5-6 years younger than Petry when this deal will kick in.

So you're 100% sure that Petry will fall of a cliff just as Shattenkirk did ?

Being GM is such an easy job...

 

[Hostile Offer]

probably the ones who have to trade for a bottom pair defenseman's rights just to sign him to a $14 million contract.

You can take shots at Habs if you want but Petry signing a $6.25M extension is not where you do that. Dude's a stud and the way he skates at his age is quite extraordinary.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Blame MacT. He believed Schultz was Norris level and traded away Petry for peanuts.

So you agree with me ?

You really are funny.

Keep on not getting to the 1st or 2nd round...

 

[sansabri]

why the big deal about his age again? the guy is a late bloomer and has done nothing but keep improving. he's obviously going to slow down one day, but it won't be for another 3 years

 

[loadie]

I’m absolutely thrilled with this.

 

[NewEraGM]

Honestly good deal for both. Sometimes I’m not sure who is better between him and Weber. He started playing regularly at 25 so he doesn’t have as many miles on him as someone who started playing at 20. Weber and Petry on the right side for 5 more years is fantastic.

 

[NewEraGM]

Weber and Petry for 14M for 5 years is great value.

 

[Todd1a]

Good player but term is a year too long 4 years when he is already 32

 

[Hunter368]

Decent contract for now, but in a couple years it could start looking ugly at his age. Time will tell of course

 

[Gaston Gingras]

Good deal for Petry, Great deal for Montreal!!

 

[glenbuis]

Has Petry been that good? $6.25M under COVID Cap seems like a lot for a guy who's 33.

Do you follow hockey

 

[glenbuis]

good player, good signing, bad team

Seems one team is trending up and the other down . Word of advice . Stop throwing out 11 million dollar contracts until after the parades

 

[glenbuis]

A tip of the hat...

I second that

How much are the rangers paying Shattenkirk for this year coming up ?

 

[Paul4587]

Great cap hit. Not sure about how good he will be by the 4th year but for now it will be a steal.

 

[mflo77]

Bruins fan here.

good signing for the HABS. maybe a few bucks too much (nothing to be pissed off about) and maybe a year too much (who cares), but a solid reliable big D man.

 

[FormerLurker]

Great deal for them. Never understood why they wanted to trade him

They didn't want to trade him.

 

[aufheben]

How much are the rangers paying Shattenkirk for this year coming up ?

$6M this year, $1.5M for the next two. And Dan Girardi—another defenseman buyout—is still on the books as well, $1.1M again for the next two years.

Granted, not every team shares the Rangers’ abysmal track record with free agents.

We have our own mistake to . Petry seems a pretty safe bet though

These were the dmen who played for the Oilers in 2014-15.

Position of strength ?

 

[Sparksrus3]

Great deal for them.

Never understood why they wanted to trade him

what Montreal exec said they were trying to trade him? Thank you
