Confirmed with Link: [PIT/MTL] Jeff Petry and Ryan Poehling for Mike Matheson and 4th PIT 2023

[windycity]

I'm sure from a hockey standpoint Matheson is tickled to go from the Pens to the Habs haha. But I guess he's a Mtl kid?

 

[Habs Halifax]

Poehling is dogshit

Poehling’s value is in the middle of him being pissed off and you thinking he is dogshit

 

[Dharvey08]

Wait to see Matheson on the top pair on a bad team
He’s not a good d man
He’s a 4

Where did I say he was a first pairing dmen?

Petry was trash last year and him and his wife can kindly f*** off to Michigan.

At least Matheson will want to be here.

 

[PecnoTrunk]

Is there a reason we shipped out a young spare C? Do we expect one back in the near future?

Because he pure hot garbage

 

[Michoulicious]

Hugues: we need to make room on the salary cap.

*trades for Matheson that has a longer contract that is buyout proof*

WTF HUGHES YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!

 

[Tetragrammaton]

If he turns into that then it's a bad trade, but personally I don't think he'll ever escape being a 4th line center.

He should have been tried in the top 6 on wing. He’s fast, plays the boards well, has size and skill.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Cap Friendly says it is MTL, PIT and VGS

Yeah my bad

 

[MXD]

All this to add a ti gars de chez nous, tabarnak.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Worst deal than any Bergevin deal has ever made…. Not starting to like this

Man the reactions here are awful

Worst than Drouin for Sergachev?

 

[zx81]

Again, people forgot how bad Petry was last season.
Pretty sure Matheson is an improvement.
Still this trade is not making much sense. We wanted to get rid of Petry's salary.

It's why I was worried earlier this week when Hughes mentionned that he wanted NHL players in return for Petry....sheesh no we did not need more salary...especially for longer than Petry's contract.

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

It sounds bad on paper because Petry was a literal all-star for years. If we had of moved him before last year, we would have got a kings ransom.

But for the current scenario, it's a good move. The 4th year sucks, but what can you do.

Petry should have been traded at the TDL before his extension back then.
Same goes for Armia , Tatar , Danault and Byron to get assets.

All bad mistakes over the years.

 

[PecnoTrunk]

Poehling is dogshit

Lolooooooo we got rid of him for freeeeee take it and run.

 

[MasterMatt25]

Would've preferred a higher pick. Petry and Poehling were on the way out anyways and Matheson I don't care too much for but he can show flashes + is lower cap hit

 

[Doc5]

Worst Habs trade since the last little while I think

 

[Adam Michaels]

Habs cleared $2.125M in cap space with this deal.

 

[Habsfan18]

Man the reactions here are awful

Worst than Drouin for Sergachev?

Not even close to as bad.

 

[Michoulicious]

Neither could Petry last year.

Petry is A LOT better than Matheson, even when he's bad.

 

[BergevinBurner]

He should have been tried in the top 6 on wing. He’s fast, plays the boards well, has size and skill.

I wouldn't of hated seeing him on the wing, but we have a million wingers with pretty unmovable contracts so there was no real fit for him.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Petry asked for a trade. Do we all suffer from short term memory loss? The guy moped around the ice and called out Ducharme to the media. I love Petry one of my favourite Habs will always remember the blood shot eyes in the playoffs.

I'm hopeful he hoists one in Pitts now. Crosby with one more to his career would be wonderful to witness. Go Petry!

And btw, Matheson is a good defensement. Montreal just acquired a good dman under 30 for cheaper money for a guy on the wrong side of his 30s who wanted out.

Pacioretty went for zilch

I wonder, with the Lhd situation if this makes Edmundson expendable now.

Again, I don’t care about Petry, 1 for 1 would have been ok. Poehling had no business being included in that deal. HuGo starting to worry me.

 

[Ezpz]

Poehling is more likely to not make Pittsburgh's lineup than be a 20 goal guy.

 

[Gamimenos]

Hughes era starts with a controversial 1st OA pick, and the new Alzner on D.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Oho. Well that's...interesting.

 

[Natey]

Petry can play offensively something Matheson never once did in his sorry career.

Also don't get it wrong with those Advanced stats , 1 played with Letang Crosby etc while the other played with Wideman and Chariot

You mean Wideman who out-produced Petry?

That tells you where Petry was the I'd rather see Wideman on the ice. Petry missed his family and didn't want to play here because of it. I don't blame him, but he was f***ing garbage last year.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Paccioretty got traded for nothing and Burns at 5.3 million got like a 3rd. In reality this what petry would get.

How many times does it have to be said that those moves are irrelevant.
