Ok, but what about 12 or 12.5?
I highly doubt he ends up having the biggest contract in the league. Tavares and doughty both recently signed for 11 M.

And why should we care?
Let them rot in the hell that their owner has built for them.
Yeah I wouldn't fet too much over trading Petry. Getting Karlsson is what matters the most and the rest will sort itself out.
I'm okay with this. Not going to get my hopes up but still

I think karlsson (or his agent) is doing the best move. Everyone knows montreal has to overpay for talent. And that sets the price. I would not say no to having him on board though, that would probably mean petry would be on the way out.
I wonder if he would do $12M for 5 yearsIf he seriously wants to be close to Ottawa, he might take 7 years at $10.5M to match Price's contract. Or $11M AAV to match Doughty's contract.
Send Petry back to Edmonton. Sign Karlsson.
I think if it happens and Bergevin signs Karlsson, he will try to use Petry to get a similar veteran top 4 LHD. I don't see many teams being that much deeper on the left side than the right, aside from Arizona.
I think Goligoski+ for Petry would be something that Bergevin could think about... Not sure what the + could be, maybe a mid 2nd? But ideally would have to be done before July 1st, since Goligoski modified NTC kicks in then. Hard to do that kind of trade before knowing for sure you get Karlsson.
Term/cap are basically a wash between Petry and Goligoski, but I think Petry is quite a bit better than Goligoski. How much, I'm not sure.
Holy **** if Karlsson actually wants to come here.
Duchene, another player who apparently wants to land close to Ottawa.
Jeez, Montreal is becoming the default geographical location of choice.
Petry is absolutely gone if we sign Karlsson. Problem is his NTC so we don't simply just ship him off to Arizona or Edmonton.

Not sure how Nashville fits him in unless they trade Subban and take little money back. Or if they find a sucker to take Turris (highly unlikely)
That’s also with a Josi contract looming (UFA in 2020-21)
Imagine a summer where we get Duchene and Karlsson somehow lol.
Not sure how to feel about this. I mean, it's EK, when is the last time we picked up an UFA of his calibre? But then again, his injuries are a big concern... I'd probably be ecstatic but at the same time I just hope it's not seven years. This is a weird feeling.
I love that this is so surprising to people lol... most of this fanbase cant comprehend any top UFA interested in playing in one of the best hockey markets in the world
The more surprising thing here is his actual willingness to go back to Ottawa if anything lmao
I think there would be sufficient interest in Petry, especially since his contract isn't bad, he's really good, and Montreal can make it a hockey trade and not a cap clearing trade.
I'd still be a little bummed though, even if it would be the right move. Petry really embraced being a Hab and gave the team his all.
And be closer to winning.If he's willing to go back to Ottawa I'm actually quite confident in our chances of getting him. Logically you have to think the reason why he would consider going back is because of his personal attachment to the area from his wife being from there to friends in the area to local charities he's involved in. All of these things can be easily reached from Montreal. Basically Karlsson can enjoy the personal benefits Ottawa may provide while playing in Montreal where he'll have the European vibe Ottaea can never provide, playing in front of a packed crowd and playing for an organization that isnt dysfunctional.
