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

Petry has grown into a #2 / elite #3 all-round D man and has been brilliant for us. Who did Edmonton pick with the 2nd rounder we "paid" for him?

I see a lot of "trade him whilst his value is high" comments and yes, I get that point. Unless that value is real, tangible, can't miss or ready now value, why would we break our second pairing? Are we expecting Brook to instantly morph into Petry 2.0, to play Petry minutes in Petry situations and deliver Petry production next season?

It would need to be a big overpayment before we consider moving him on, if you ask me.

Because were not winning anything even with this "awesome" player.

They traded away their second, which has landed in the hands of the Caps with whom they drafted the excellent young Dman Jonas Siegenthaler, who's in the NHL with the caps, and with the fourth rounder they drafted Caleb Jones, who's also in the NHL.

They sent the 2nd along with other picks for Talbot.

Neither of Siegenthaler or Caleb Jones will ever become anything relative to the player that Petry is.

Fair enough, but I'm not sure, Siegenthaler is a really good hockey player.

 

[Andrei79]

He deserves a bump. His game has progressed leaps and bounds since being traded here.

He's always playing better when Weber is not around. Maybe TO would like Weber next season for Nylander and ???

 

[admiralcadillac]

Bergevin has been following trends since he got here, and that's a fact nobody can deny. He switches team identities every October, looking at what worked for other teams the year before. Someone on this club refuses to believe size is a factor, or important, and its not just the moron in charge. Since the late 90's this team has been small, weak and disgustingly lacking a forecheck.

There is lots of room for smaller players in the NHL, there is no way one team should have a boat load of them up front. Gallagher, Domi, Byron, Drouin, Danault, Tatar, Peca, Hudon, Weal, Leks, Shaw.. all well south of 200lbs. 6 months of hockey beat up on the team, yet again. Look how Armia sort of held pace all the way through, even after injury. Big bodies really do insulate the smaller players, take the pressure off at key times etc.

Then you have only a couple legitimate guys over 200bls on the blueline. That's just unreal. Weber and Folin. That's it. That is way too small of a team to perform past January, its unreasonable to think they can hold up any sort of physical standard.

I hope Suzuki can crush it here, but I don't see how on an already way too small of a team, he's going to get pounded out there.

Why are you ignoring Benn and Petry? Because they're listed at 197 and 199 lbs?

 

[Habs]

Petry is gangly, he isn't physical at all. Benn? I mean, if he's actually in position he can make a hit, reminds me of Kevin Haller.

Petry and Benn are physical players... I don't get your point. You referred to their weights by omitting two guys who are probably in the 200s.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Petry is as physical as he needs to be. This is no soft top 4D here. Very far from it. Benn is very effective in a bottom pairing role. If we lose him, at least we have Juulsen that can replace him.

Benn had a very good season. I hope we bring him back. He is a very solid depth piece but lets hope he is not looking to cash in. If so, bye bye

I liked Benn in a limited role as well, he surprised me this year.

 

[Habs Halifax]

He is a solid player if we play him in the right role. Problem is playing him in a top 4D role. Not a big problem if you have an injury and he needs to fill in but not a good situation for the Habs or Benn if we play him in a full time top 4D role.

Petry isn't physical at all? How did you arrive at that conclusion?

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Petry isn't physical at all???????? You have to be kidding. Benn has absolutely no resemblance to Haller. Not sure what you are watching??

 

[ahmedou]

Him, his family, the direction and his teammates are on the same line.

Petry's contract ends in 2 years which is when the draft expansion happens, so he won't be protected.

Unless we acquire a top 4 D, the three defenseman we will protect is a pretty easy choice

Petry will probably be extended by MB. If not he's moved...

 

[Hins77]

I hope that Petry is gonna be protect for the expansion draft. I think that he could be a defensemen whos gonna keep a high level skill during next 5/6 years. Hes not playing a rude hockey and hes not often with injury. Imo he is underrated and hope he will retired with our club

 

[Belial]

Petry's gonna hit 60 points next season, you heard it here first!

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[Want My Dach x 77]

Seriously underrated.

 

[Want My Dach x 77]

Entering his 6th season with the Canadiens !







Hit Jeff Petry on Mats Zuccarello (12/04/12)

 

[Scintillating10]

Nice card

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Seriously underrated.

Totally agreed. Do not trade him, unless you absolutely want to tank. One of the better, if not spectacular, trades the Habs have made under MB.

 

[yianik]

Terrific trade by MB for a guy who can play as a good 2D as someone said.

Two years left on his contract and then he is UFA. He will be 33.

Habs may want to look at moving him anytime from this TDL, depending on our outlook.

I dont think we should be resigning a 33 year old guy.

Teams will want an experienced solid no.2 D capable player who will not need to be protected in the Expansion Draft.

I think Molson demands the post season this year so I dont see Petry being moved by this TDL , unless it's a disaster of a year.

Next season could be a good time to move him.

 

[TT1]

as stated above Petry is UFA during the expansion draft, doesn't need to be protected. I know Petry is good but he isn't getting any younger and with Weber being a locked here. Montreal will need to make room to give young players more minutes ( Brook, Juulsen, Fleury). They would be smart to trade him at the deadline ( if we aren't in good shape) or after the playoff run, you realy need to maximize the value and keep this team going foward.

If the money is right you need to resign Petry. He brings too much to the table in the modern NHL. I'd move Juulsen instead.

Juulsen should be 1 of the pieces in a package for a LD.
