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

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Why people upset over this ? Petry 34 and mike is 28. Mike is great skater ! He from Montreal and won’t demand a trade like the American petry.

Mike is good player guys. I always liked him , we did good

hes younger can skate , but cant play defensively. There is a reason why Pittsburgh traded him.

 

[KFlint]

Never forget that Jean-Charles Lajoie repeated several times that we should trade Petry to get the 2nd overall from New Jersey, this guy has the worst takes in the franco medias. (Jake Evans was an untouchable also, but that’s another story!)

 

[BergevinBurner]

So what is the justification for giving them Poehling? He’s gonna be a 20+ goal scorer, we could have made a power forward winger out of him.

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.

 

[PecnoTrunk]

The best part is we got rid of phoeling for freeeeeeee

 

[HomaridII]

Renaud approves.

Neither could Petry last year.

 

[Andy]

Petry likely will put up some big points playing alongside Crosby, Malkin and Letang.

Poehling is a wild card. Could be out of the league in a couple of year, but also could score 20 with his shot. Pens have a knack of turning nobodies into decent scorers.

Matheson really wasn't all that bad last year

[ReHabs]

We’re pissed about Poehling, we don’t care about Petry.

Irrelevant player and borderline bust. If he makes it to any respectability it will have been through a major effort that he hasn’t shown so far.

 

[red devil]

Yes, MTL, ANA and PIT.

Cap Friendly says it is MTL, PIT and VGS

Matheson can bring offense, a bit inconsistently, but he also makes some boneheaded plays. I had hope for him to figure it out after his 1st couple of years, but he never really did. He's probably better than last year's version of Petry but overall I don't like this deal for the Habs. I don't think Poehling will break out and be something great, but I do think he'll be a regular player for PIT. I thought he showed enough last year after his last call up, but in all the Marty Magic, MSL just never had confidence in Poehling and no matter how good he played, he'd be settled with Pezetta or something for 6 minutes a game.

 

[CaptainKirk]

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

 

[therocket9]

Now time to get rid of Gallagher's contract.

 

[blarneylad]

I would have rather kept Petry and Poehling, this makes no sense. This feels very wrong right now.

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.

Never forget that Jean-Charles Lajoie repeated several times that we should trade Petry to get the 2nd overall from New Jersey, this guy has the worst takes in the franco medias. (Jake Evans was an untouchable also, but that’s another story!)

but he's gonna love this trade.

 

[Natey]

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.

 

[windycity]

Poehling is dogshit

Well that's harsh but yeah he's no big loss

 

[Seven7]

People fail to realize that we are tanking next year.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Neither could Petry last year.

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

 

[GHJimmy]

By far it doesn't make sense, no idea what Hughes is on about, quite awful if you ask me

 

[McPhees Moustache]

I get that Mike Matheson has some qualities the Habs are looking for, but does he play the right side at all?

If not, this trade in isolation doesn't make sense? The habs are stacked with LHD prospects, but very slim on the right side. Trading Petry makes that worse if Matheson is strickly a LHD.

If Guhle steps up in Laval this year I could see Edmundson being traded at the deadline, potentially retained which would bring back decent haul that should include another 1st

 

[BenchBrawl]

Who cares about Poehling. Dach's floor is what he was supposed to become.

 

[Habsfan18]

I don’t dislike the player, but I’m not a fan of adding a nearly 5mil cap hit for 4 more years. Just doesn’t seem like it offers much cap relief. Oh well. We wanted Petry out, anf we found a taker.

 

[jaffy27]

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