Player Discussion Jeff Petry (Part II) - #mynamejeff Edition

[Perrah]

Petry has certainly fell out of favor on here

Meh same old same old with Petry. Petry has been inconsistent through his whole career. He can be the best d-man on the ice one stretch of games and the worst for the next. Last year was probably one of his better years in terms of how often he was bad. I only recall a few games where he was as bad as he has been the past 10-12 games.

Time to sell high on this guy

Time to sell high on this guy

I have no problem trading him, but it must be for either a legitimate LD player/prospect, or a scoring winger with above average size and skill.

 

[TannedBum]

He has to be hurt, he was playing like a legitimate #1 D at the beginning of the year

Not physically. His decision making is the problem right now. Can't make one guick easy/safe pass.

His decision making has always been his main issue. It's what has held him back from being a true top pairing D man for his career.

 

[Habs]

Did you guys know his dad was in the MLB and Petry is a dynamic skater? The crew at TSN2 tell us every game, incase it was forgotten.

It's just that he was playing so good for the first couple months or so and then his game just feel off a cliff

Sounds like last year was the time to trade Petry?

 

[CoopersFalls]

The funniest thing is to read the posts from last year and see how many of them mentioned the word Norris.

The guy has all the tools to be great but lacks hockey IQ.

 

[CHarlie]

If we aren't in a position to make the playoffs by the trade deadline he should be dealt

 

[Pat Riot]

He should have been deal last season for maximum value but yeah even if we are still in the playoff battle I would trade him along Tatar. We have to realize we are not winning anything with that group of players.

 

[ahmedou]

Petry is simply running out of gas. As long as Julien refuses to have the younger defensemen play more minutes and risk mistakes, it's going to get worse.

That's why he's been putrid.

His value is still insanely high. A bad stretch shouldn't hurt it too much and he's still on a good pace in terms of production.

If we wait next season's dead line we are playing with fire though.

Yeah this is the year to move him no doubt. Not just because of his contract but also I could see his play deteriorating quite a bit between now and then.

 

[Andy]

Looks mentally fatigued.

The mistakes he's making are mostly the result of a lack of focus and attentiveness. They aren't occurring because the skill isn't there.

Physical fatigue leads to mental fatigue. Perhaps Petry was leaned on a little too much? Or maybe he just doesn't have an 82 game stamina and gets periods of fatigue in the middle of the season?

I don't doubt he'll find his game again. It's just a question of when.

 

[Seb]

Sell. High.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Trading him would be beyond stupid.

 

[Roadhouse]

Trading him would be beyond stupid.

*It would not, if Juulsen was well on his way to top 4 RHD status. And he is not.

I think ultimately Bergevin doesn't re-sign Tatar but ends up extending Petry. Too many left hand shots up front, not enough right hand shots on the back end.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Trading him would be beyond stupid.

Uh no!
Petry will be 33 next year and we most likely are a bubble team again. The entire team needs to be overhauled.

This team has been in the process of an overhaul over the past 2 seasons. Who is taking Petry spot next season? Fleury or Brook, please don't make me laugh. Oh and hopefully they can also fill in as a number 1 if Weber gets hurt lmao.

 

[Seb]

Depends which direction Bergevin is going. I hope he chooses the right one, whatever it's going to be.

Personally, I've had enough of half assed transitions/rebuilds. Considering our aging core it's time to move assets like Petry, Weber and Byron who can fetch good picks and won't hurt the team long teem.

 

[Scintillating10]

Trading him would be beyond stupid.

If the return was high enough I would trade Petry. But he is hard to replace.

 

[ahmedou]

I got the notification of value right here.

 

[calder candidate]

The issues is that Petry going to hit the jackpot he either going to get too much term or too much money and he will start to decline so that contract will be bad but the worst thing that could happen is that we lose him for free like Sourray, Streit, Komisarek, Markov.
