Rumor: Flames interested in Petrovic

[Bure1096]

Shouldn't be in the league. Showed his worth the last few seasons in FLA and his small stint in Edmonton. Should sign in Europe.

 

[Bounces R Way]

This guy is terrrrrrrrrrrible. Would way rather Yelesin come up if needed. Please god no.

 

[McFlash97]

Says the team that is paying almost $7mm for the Real Deal......

The biggest problem the Oil face is that they still have a lot of trash on the roster.

Another top 10 pick in 2020.

7 mill eh.

your right we do have a lot of trash. Thank you for systematically taking it out for us.

we will repay you by bringing a cup to Alberta within the next few years.


from our hearts to yours,


yours truly.

 

[Brodeur]

"..he's always coveted"? Has this guy ever even seen Petrovic play?

I think he meant that RD in general are always coveted, not necessarily that Petrovic is highly coveted.

Better chance at another top 3 pick than a cup, let's be honest.

I can see why the Flames might consider this. They tried to play without a goon last year and got pushed around in the playoffs.

I thought Calgary already traded for Edmonton's goon?

 

[780il]

You go on CP?

That explains it...

 

[dookers9]

Petrovic showed virtually NO toughness with the Oil last year. He dismissed any and all opportunities to get gritty with opponents and showed little more than a long teach to compensate for a lack of foot speed.

Not grasping this reported interest...

 

[dookers9]

The toughest guys are the ones who know they're going to get absolutely smoked in a fight, but do it anyways.

I think you're confusing the ones with the lowest IQs.

Zack Stortini comes to mind. He wasn't fearless, just not overly bright.

Stortini was a multi-year OHL Scholastic team member. He may not have had the best hockey skills or sense, but I don't think you can question his IQ.

 

[DRW204]

Petrovic sucks.

But on a side note, Jim Mathesons timeline is full of gold lol

 

[super6646]

Explains what bud?

 

[nzoilerfan]

If he signs for league minimum whats the harm, he'd just be a depth defender, anything below 1m can be buried in the minors with no cap implications.

His skating just isn't up to par for today's NHL and his decision making was relatively awful in some of the games he made it into for EDM

 

[dookers9]

Yeah.....that ball-less little ***** requested that Drai answer for his cheap ass slew foot, and wanted nothing to do with him. Big, bad, bruising power forward Drai......*****ed out when asked to answer the bell.

Not that it matters, I'm sure our new resident meat head will deal with any issues Kassian has with the club. Not that I'm expecting a peep from him.

Remarkable post that would impress any intro Psych prof. You have both confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance incorporated into your response. Lol

And the bit about Drai...lol

Yeah but you guys lost Dalton Prout. He’s going to torment Lucic and the rest of his former teammates all 4 of the NHL games he plays next season.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Oilers were missing Klefbom, Russell and Sekera and Petrovic was still bad enough to not even see a regular game.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Stortini was a multi-year OHL Scholastic team member. He may not have had the best hockey skills or sense, but I don't think you can question his IQ.

Book smarts and hockey IQ on the ice are very different things

what does hockey iq have to do with having the ability to understand if you are going to get your bell rung in a fight?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I wouldn’t mind him as a 7th or 8th dman.

 

[TML1967]

Petrovic/Stone are a decent bet at or near league minimum. Show me type deal.

 

[dookers9]

Fair enough.

I stand corrected, based at least on some scholastic acumen he'd apparently demonstrated.

But having watched him over several years, he struck me as little more than a punching bag. Whose cerebral competemcy appeared contingent on the number of punches he'd taken.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Lol, imagine buying out Stone in order to sign Petrovic, instead of, I don't know, Matthew Tkachuk.

 

[treple13]

Please play Prout against the Flames next season for every game. I really hope you do.

 

[Lunatik]

What why

My only guess is a Brodie deal might be in the works and he's willing to sign cheap.

 

[Fig]

As a 7th Dman on a 2 way deal, sure. That way a kid develops on the farm and can be easily swapped with AP when needed. Beyond that... Please no.

It's Alex Petrovic. Not Pietrangelo.
