Meh.

 

[duul]

We get a nothing defenceman for a nothing defenceman and a pick. Chiarelli loses another one.

 

[Seachd]

Petrovic always seemed like a guy who was destined to go back home. How he is as a player nowadays though, I'm not exactly familiar with.

 

[Tyrolean]

Why can't they trade Lucic?

 

[Soli]

Took creative liberty with the title.

I remember Petrovic getting punked three times in a trio of fights with Kane. I remember him being a one-timer trigger for RNH before he matriculated and Dumba became that guy.

Can't be worse than Wideman...

Hope the pick is minimal. Hope the Panthers retained salary...

 

[Yeah15]

Third rounder in 2019, good God

 

[frag2]

Chia's last attempt at salvaging the season

Took creative liberty with the title.

Thanks Mine looked silly lol


Yeah I dunno why we had to trade a draft pick... *Sigh*

 

[Bum]

A third rounder? This asshole needs to go away.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Third rounder in 2019, good God

 

[oobga]

Petrovic was trending very well a few years ago. Looks like he's fallen off a cliff.

Another Pray for a miracle trade.

 

[Da McBomb]

Why a 3rd rounder too?

So in the end.. a 3rd and 6th for Petrovic.

Chia sucks

 

[XXIV97]

Petrovic could be traded for a 3rd round pick if he sucks. The Oilers can flip him at the trade deadline.

Nothing trade

 

[Soli]

Giving up a 3rd for UFA Petrovic is getting desperate. Basically deadline prices. Atleast Petro is a righty, but ugh. Feels like trading an oar for a pail on a sinking ship.

 

[Yeah15]

Sounds like it'll be whichever of the two 3rd round picks we have that year that are better draft position.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

What a waste of a third. This guy sucks.

 

[Weitz]

Why the hell is Chia still allowed to make trades?

 

[CycloneSweep]

So a 3rd and a 6th for Petrovic?
Ugh

 

[CycloneSweep]

I thought we were looking to improve our defense?

 

[Tyrolean]

Shouldn't have lost Aberg and Zykov. This GM stinks.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Shouldn't have lost Aberg and Zykov. This GM stinks.

What does that have to do with this trade?

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

He added a f***ing 3rd rounder? A mother f***ing 3rd? Chia you god damn mother f***ing, piece of fecal matter. f*** you you f***ing .

 

[Drivesaitl]

I like it. We get rid of Wideman and get a punishing D who can hit and bring some physicality. Good addition and Chia showing some response (but way late) to the D injury predicament. A vet that can help steady the ship and good enough to be around even when we get healthy.

Good Edmonton boy, reasonable contract but only for this year so this is a rental unless we can resign. If we do resign it can open up a move of one of our higher priced D which would provide some cap space relief.

Don't know the draft pick we're giving up yet, but so far I like it.

edit its only a third round pick. Great pick up. Its hilarious that Petrovic was one of the players Florida protected in the expansion draft while losing Marchessault and Smith. One of those rare moments when we're fleecing some other team.

That said Wideman had no interest in being here and exhibited it on the ice. He was basically a flagman here waving opponents in on goal and saying have a good day..Wideman strikes me as somebody who might play better in Florida. It wasn't going to be here.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Haha. Florida gets the better 3rd as well. A seventh defenseman for a seventh defenseman and we toss in in a 3rd for fun.

Good gawd.

Our 2 person pro scouting dept working overtime over the holidays lol
