Thought Detroit didn't need him?

 

[Jee]

Chiarot - Petry

make it happen

 

[ClasslessGuy]

No retention?

 

[TS Quint]

Petry @ 50% for nothin? I didn’t want him on the Wings but at that price, why not.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Yuck. For that return I would have hoped not to retain for 2 years.

I guess Hughes is a nice guy and thought about Petry first and foremost.

 

[Zbynek]

No retention?

Looks like 50% by Montreal

 

[andora]

Is lalonde going to do a reverse keefe

Petry @ 50% for nothin? I didn’t want him on the Wings but at that price, why not.

Less than 50%. There was retention on the earlier trade too.

37.5% of his original deal for nothing.

 

[WarriorofTime]

If Yzerman was hired to build the most mid roster imaginable, then he has passed with flying colors.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That's downright bizarre that Montreal couldn't get better than this for Petry with retention.

 

[TheYardMachine]

Sucks to retain salary for basically nothing

 

[llamateizer]

is 50% of 75% remaining = 37.5%?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Alright, Nick Lidstrom.

Steal.

 

[Favster]

Looking at this return it's quite obvious there was no way in hell Petry was starting the season in Montreal

 

[Kranix]

If Yzerman was hired to build the most mid roster imaginable, then he has passed with flying colors.

He had catastrophic lottery luck for a tanking team, and is sick of waiting. And here I thought bottoming out was the only way to build the right way

 

[Empoleon8771]

It's funny that Detroit traded for Petry after the last 2 years of Detroit insisting to both Habs fans and Penguins fans that Detroit didn't need and didn't want Petry

 

[Scandale du Jour]

That's downright bizarre that Montreal couldn't get better than this for Petry with retention.

He is 36 and not that great + everyone knows he does not want to be in Montreal.

 

[Zrhutch]

Man, am I crazy or does that not add up to Dellandrea and a pick or Mavrik Bourque at all?

 

[Saga of the Elk]

Dan's boy finally makes it home

 

[Hammettf2b]

Whats the motivation for MTL here?

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

I wonder if both Montreal and Detroit wanted to do Petry a favour and get him home.

 

[Stealth JD]

Pretty underwhelming for Montreal.
Cheap pickup for Stevie Y. Don't know how much it moves the needle, but still looks to benefit DET more than MTL.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I guess the Habs really liked this player Lindstrom? He's 24 with 128 NHL games

 

[Turin]

Yea that’s about what I expected.
