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

[chaosrevolver]

He doesn't have the same potential offensively. And he is already 28.

Petry was 27 (turning 28 that year) when we acquired him and had 32 points over his last 139 games (2 seasons).

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

You think they didn’t ask Boucher’s gang?

I just think they wanted him gone due to being atrocious while getting a vet def but he's worse than Petry as a player

As long we are on the road for a top3 pick i don't mind

 

[Whitesnake]

Petry put us in a bad bargaining position by requesting a trade and to a couple of US teams only so yeah return not awesome.

That said it’s exactly the other way around for the PLD discussions. We were the Jets with Petry wanting out.

And yet, you can bet your house that PLD will get a shitload of return if he is dealt.

Pens fan. Matheson had a very good year and has skill that few D men have. He is not Mr shutdown on d but his skating and puck passing is really good. Pens are getting bigger on D and really Poehling can use a change of teams.

Thank you. We have a fan base that doesn’t follow a lot of the rest of the NHL and jump to conclusions before getting all the facts. Thanks for your valuable intel.

So essentially, we get a younger Petry? Circa Oilers?

LOVE the Trade...








okay, I lied

 

[HABitual Fan]

Edmunson - Wideman
Matheson - Savard
Schueneman/Leskinen - Harris

or

Matheson - Edmundson
Harris - Savard
Leskinen/Schueneman - Wideman

Norlinder instead of Harris for me

 

[ToNedOuT]

Sooooooo we need a RD and I heard there's a RD UFA that used to play in mtl.....

 

[zx81]

I'm just looking at the numbers compared to Petry1, so good to know about Petry2.

I can already see fans adding a 2 on their Petry's jersey.

 

[EXPOS123]

A big FU to Petry. He literally sabatoged his play last year to get traded which caused his value to whittle to nothing.

And Kent....please man, your moves so far this off season are actually making me miss Bozovin.

 

[chaosrevolver]

Wish he'd stop with this former clients bullshit. Why did they hire him if its just to sign his old clients? Lol

Bringing players that fail elsewhere and praying they turn their whole game around is not a rebuild.

Still spewing this without saying who else he brought in that was a former client.

Apparently that's all he goes after?

 

[Miller Time]

We all thought out of his former clients from Pittsburgh, it would be Letang that would be brought in. Turns out, that former client from the Pens was Matheson.

I didn't know he was a former client... Makes me more optimistic about the trade & their evaluation of Matheson's fit & potential to contribute.

 

[1909]

How do you pay both Lehkonen and Romanov? Who do you trade?

You just work very hard to get rid of Drouin, Hoffman, Byron and Armia. And you don't take Dadonov for Weber. I am pretty sure a guy like BriseBois in TB would had work his way in this mess.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

By the time his contract hits year three , the cap will have increased and his salary will not look as bad.

His contract isnt even really bad its people got hyped thinking Petry would get a first and retain nothing.

Peoples expectations were bad

 

[larek]

It's not that bad a trade watched him In Pitt
Had a pretty good year last seaosn
Plays Pp skates well gets points
He's from the province
could also be moved easier than Petry
Not crazy about letting pale go

 

[Treb]

Norlinder instead of Harris for me

Maybe. Or both. Or both and Barron. Who knows before training camp.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

As much as Hughes was trying to say the right things for this trade .... This trade was always going to be bad because Petry was worst last year then the previous years and the whole league knew he requested a trade (which cannot include a Canadian Team) . At least there was no retention and Matheson can be traded in a couple years while a Petry retention cannot be traded .

There was NEVER going to be retention. He wouldn't have been traded if it didn't leave room to sign Pitlick.

Petry was 27 (turning 28 that year) when we acquired him and had 32 points over his last 139 games (2 seasons).

Yeah people forget when we first got Petry he was a 25 point dman at best. He had a lot of warts and Edmonton was glad to dump him. Matheson had a good year last year, it's not crazy to think he's maturing as a player.

 

[Andy]

Hughes wants to bring a RD? Lol, imagine Subban?

 

[cphabs]

Happy for Petry

Which isn’t uncommon for top4 Dman to hit their stride later in their careers

 

[Karma Police]

This team could trade Paul Byron for Sydney Crosby and people would still bitch

 

[Rapala]

People need to relax: the whole point of trading Petry was not to get assets back, it was simply to clear cap. The contract is terrible and poehling was very unsatisfied

poehling was very unsatisfying.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Might be Justin Holl...

You ask Gallagher to do us a solid and retire.
