Proposal: Petry to Detroit

[Mackiaveli]

Detroit wants to move on from Zadina

Montreal 2nd + Petry for Detroit's 2nd, Zadina and Oesterle

Detroit doesn't really have any cap dumps so I just threw in Oesterle because why not. Detroit jumps up a few picks in the 2nd round to offset it.

Zadina has been insanely underwhelming but his draft pedigree + raw talent make him an interesting acquisition for a team that is okay with not being a basement team next year.

Petry has struggled but if there's one team that he would probably love to play for it is the Red Wings. He would be a great 2D behind Seider and could be great for Edvinsson's development

Sounds like a win win situation if DET is done with Zadina.
I don't think Petry would fetch much.
Without retention he would be worth a 5th round pick based on his recent play, age, nmc and AAV.

Why would detroit trade a 22 year old 6th overall pick for a 5 million dollar 34 year old declining defenseman? They are rebuilding...

Petry makes $6.25mm AAV. And $7.5mm in cash the next two seasons.

wings get to trade away their 2018 lottery pick for the rights to this expensive dman and his 1 goal and six total points in 37 games. He’s got 5 takeaways and 42 giveaways. His expected goals for is 24%. One of the worst in the NHL. He had one sweet assist to the Columbus Bluejackets PK unit. He’s also 34 years old and signed for 3 more years.

Detroit should also check out Tyler Johnson, Jeff Skinner and Vlasic if you’re shopping for vets with term.

Sure - but if you think GMs in the NHL are going to argue Petry has 0 value you are mistaken. He has been very dominant (borderline elite) the past 2 or 3 years behind Weber, and was even able to step up and be a #1 when Weber was out.

He is clearly just checked out mentally on one of the worst teams in the salary cap era (also one of the most injured ever) where he has not had a legit defensive partner, has been playing with back-up goalies (and largely AHL tweeners) and the team has been... brutal.

They are still pissed off we stole him for nothing from them.

That’s the 6.25M question.

Detroit doesn't really want to move on from Zadina. He's been playing fairly well despite the lack of production. Playing mostly with Rasmussen and Erne limits his chances offensively. Wings farm is not deep at forward and there's little reason to give up on him for a guy that won't be around when they're potentially competing. Wings might have some interest in Petry as a vet stopgap if he can be had for a bargain tho

 

[Prairie Habs]

Funny how Petry is only judged on his current season on a trash fire team and not being a #1D the last few years including taking us to the finals last year, while Zadina is only judged on his draft position from 4 years ago and not on his non-existent development...

Habs would do this but there is no reason for the Wings to do this.

Im confused by this deal? Are Detroit in win now mode? No? Then why would they want an expensive older dman?

That’s the 6.25M question.

Friedman mention in his 32 thoughts, And it's mere speculation on his part. That Yzerman may choose to move on from Zadina.

Is Detroit still rebuilding? I thought they would be about ready to come out of the rebuild, if they are, Petry makes a little sense. Zadina seems to be stagnating there, so Zadina out makes sense.

Maybe they are trying to move into being a playoff tier team.

Again why? squeak in to get killed in the first round. Better to be in the lottery at this point. From a hockey perspective anyway...

 

[ManofSteel55]

We are. But we're more pissed off that our stupid ass GM from the time signed him up until he was a UFA so we couldn't get anything of value for him. Stupid ass McTavish. That entire scenario still burns my biscuits. Let's sign an emering top pair defenseman right up until the moment he hits UFA status, but let's get a coach who won't use him right and will even healthy scratch him to drive his value into the dirt so we can't get a 1st round pick for him even though he should be worth one. That way we can be laughed at for a decade for trading him out for next to nothing. It just grinds my gears.

I mean, most teams' management would rather get in then be in the lottery with a miniscule chance of getting a top 5 pick. At this point, Detroit is getting close to playoff contention, they need to make that push one of these years. If all they're moving out is a guy who isn't working out for them anyway, and a journeyman whose mere presence on your roster shows you have no depth, why not try it out?

Detroit is still in the middle-late stages of their rebuild. Half the players on the team rn won't be around in another year or two.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Not interested to move our second round pick which is basically a first round pick at this point. Zadina is fine and could be a decent reclamation project but no chance I am moving back in the draft and move Petry for him.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

No thanks.

6.25, 3 more years, and he's 34.

 

[Go Wings]

Lmao no

Detroit had an opportunity to get Petry who si from Michigan when Edmonton moved him. They passed because he regularily was at or near the top of the league in giveaways.

They certaintly don't want him now with a good GM and a bright future ahead.

Dump your garbage somewhere else, Detroit has plenty of junk on defense already.

 

[LTIR]

5th rd pick.

Without retention yes.
Basically saying if Petry has positive value, it is very little. He is a decent player but other factors mentioned make him undesirable to an organization.
Likely return would be a struggling player plus pick.

 

[Perennial]

Aren't the Red Wings set at RD with Seider and Hronek?

Seems a bit reckless to tie up that much future cap space on a declining RD in his mid 30's who may not even play in their top 4...
