A motivated Petry will make you forget about him.He is a 2nd pairing defensemen.
His even strength production last season was amazing.
I miss the guy already.
And Poehling, when on his game, is capable of scoring 4 goals in a game

I'm a Petry fan. When Edmonton traded him to Montreal I told my brother that was a mistake.A motivated Petry will make you forget about him.

Any reason he didn't do much PP in Florida?
Not even close he didn't even look particularly good in the playoffs either. Some good some bad.Anyone who voted no hasn’t watched him in the past 2-3 seasons. He’s closer to a top pairing defenseman than bottom pair
He just had 11 goals and 31 points this season
6 points in 7 playoff games
There isn’t 120 better defensemen than him let alone 60
Defensively he’s improved, he’s excellent in transition, and he can throw some huge hits
He looked great and I’m a Rangers fan. Not the player he was in FloridaNot even close he didn't even look particularly good in the playoffs either. Some good some bad.
Before or after the Habs got him?He play really good hockey since he play with Penguins Pittsburgh, he is a good top 4 defenseman, yes or no?
I think he is definitely a top-4 D. He was great for the Pens last year, had a number of plays where he looked like Cale Makar in transition. He would then have a play that looks like a PeeWee B player in coverage. I actually liked him a lot, and if you can figure out a way to get him out and skating in transition he can be a good player. I just don't think I would put him as a "better than average" top 4 dman.
Most players won't be in their right role next year, because the team won't be competitive yet. So in that sense you are right, but longer term, he probably projects more as a 2nd pairing guy in Montreal as well. Unless he improves to fit the role I guess.
