qwijibo Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Petry’s family is in Michigan where the COVID restrictions are far less than Quebec. There’s rumours that Petry HATES playing for Ducharme. As unhappy as he is he’ll likely have to suck it up and wait until the offseason to get moved. His contract and term makes it tough to move him mid season. He’s been one of the top offensive D the last few years. They’ll likely find a taker for him but it’ll probably require some retention on Montreal’s end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Norlinder, Guhle or Romanov could easily be added(take away 1 pick) to the deal I'd earlier suggested. Could see these two teams possibly finding a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona might act as an intermediary for retaining salary to another team. But even then is contract is longer than the ones they’ve been taking on.

What you describe is definitely an option. I just dont see MTL ownership wanting to pay Petry that much for remaining term if they are going to blow things up.

flickyoursedin Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Petry having a rough year at 34 years old and is signed for another 3 years after this at 6.25 mill per year! I wouldn’t want to pick him up for his age 35, 36 and 37 year old seasons at that cap hit. Anybody going to trade anything of value here? Would Montreal retain on a deal that long? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Petry was playing behind Weber. Without Weber he became the de-facto top D. They didn't have reliable goaltending without Price and a lot of their players struggled this season. Petry has also openly criticised Ducharme's system. Friedman in his 32 Thoughts believes Montreal could find a trade partner in the off-season. 6. A few teams indicated they see Jeff Petry more likely as an off-season deal as opposed to this deadline, although those predictions certainly could backfire. One thing to remember: as ugly as this season’s been for him — and the Canadiens — his underlying numbers last year were very good. And that hasn’t gone unnoticed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Fingers Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Nope… let someone else take him. People complain about OEL, those that do, better not pipe up for Petry. Don’t think a 34 year old guy is the player to be investing in atm. OEL is a way better player IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His underlining numbers from the past few years when he wasn’t expected to be the #1 D were extremely good. He’ll likely be an offseason trade candidate though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's going to be a tough contract to move, unless they retain some $. Petry has been a very serviceable defenseman who had 4 -40+ point seasons in a row but is having a terrible year (as is the rest of that team). MTL might move him for a mid round pick just to dump the salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays a mean game he's no kitten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
