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

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Well at least se only paid one second round pick and like a 3rd/4th

Michkov/Yager/Fantilli here we come

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

FUN FACT!
Drouin and Matheson played on the Lac St Louis Lions together in 2010.

huge if true

 

[FerrisRox]

That’s more or less the way I see it, sorry if you disagree.

I am truly embarrassed for you.

Truly.

 

[Rapala]

Holy over reaction Batman.
We basically got a younger left handed Jeff Petry who has pretty decent offensive skills very good skater is from here and is someone who will mentor and maybe even billet one of our young D. The one knock on Matheson is he does have the odd brain cramp (sounds familiar right.) His contract will not be a problem whatsoever and he will definitely be someone who will have trade value down the road. Watching Florida's horrible D in the post season last year made me laugh when I compared Matheson's play to Weegar's. I felt the Cats kept the wrong guy. And for those saying we didn't clear cap space you are being disingenuous. Hughes is whittling away. Welcome home Mike and for Jeff and Ryan don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Why does everyone care so much that Poehling got traded? He was another 1st round bust.

Remember when ROR was on the block and the narrative was we should never part with Poehling in a trade?

That’s more or less the way I see it, sorry if you disagree.

I thought that way before Hughes came, but he’s proven to be very knowledgeable and the furthest from a puppet. They’re working as a team. The biggest failure of Molson was letting Bergevin work independently. You need a team of hockey people now.

 

[Belial]

How can we trade Toffoli, Romo, Lehks, Chairot, Weber and Petry and still barely have any cap space?

Suzuki's extension kicked in. and we got Dadonov and Matheson's salaries back.

 

[expy]

TVA gonna be mad that it's not the type of local boy they want.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Who cares about dropping the gloves this is 2022-23 season not the 70s or 80s.

You still need players who can do it.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Petry handcuffed the Habs. He only wanted to be traded to an American team near Michigan. Only had about 4 choices...

Then take the fifth choice of telling him to f***ing deal with the contract he signed. We can mutually agree to terminate it if he's cool with losing millions.

Why did we essentially do him a favor and gift Pittsburgh Poehling for the privilege? I'm not even as high on Poehling as some around here but this is just a terrible trade for us.

I wouldn’t call him a puppet but I still believe Gorton has the final say. I view Hughes more like an assistant GM but with more responsibilities than an assistant GM.

Duclair as well

 

[beowulf]

I care. Having fighters is still important.

No really it isn't.

 

[The Great Weal]

Matheson f***ing blows at least Petry will somewhat bounce back.

 

[BenchBrawl]

No really it isn't.

Yes it is.

Got anything else to add except for petty insults?

 

[BaseballCoach]

Formally retiring is simply not an option because it leaves over 30 million dollars on the table.

If he can't play, he will have to be put on permanent LTIR, and let the contract run out.

Retiring or playing are the only options if he is not injured.

 

[MarioLeMoose]

I'm mad at Petry now, this guy I boo when he comes to town. At least the buy out is less overwhelming if things turn to worst

Boo him for what?
He gave us the best years of his career. His family is ready to return closer to home. Don’t forget these players are human beings.

Not sure how decisions are being made on this season of …The Bachelor

Yep. And their coach said in an interview that Matheson was kicking Drouin's and Duclair's butts in practice to get better.

I prefer Hughes's version of character over the one Bergevin was a fan of.

??????? Matheson is a pretty good hockey player.

 

[The Great Weal]

??????? Matheson is a pretty good hockey player.

His contract sucks. Should have just retained on Petry and got something worthwhile in return. Matheson also has an extra year.

 

[beowulf]

Yes it is.

nope

About half the teams in the league had 20 or less fight and 3 even had under 10 all of last season. It's a dying part of the game. If one of the big selling points of a player is that he drops the gloves, I rather someone else who can play the game better.
