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

[salbutera]

Petry is having a stellar season. MacT dumb for letting him walk. What's the general thinking on his upcoming contract? 6M? 7M?

Already resigned 4-years @ $6.25M AAV. Solid deal

As Jeff Petry goes...so do the Habs.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Jeff Petry leads defensemen in points and is +15.

He's been a stud all year.

He's been a stud for most of the year. But he's had rough patches. And when things are rough for him, they're rough for us. We rely on him so much.

Early on I'd have said he was a Norris contender, but he dropped off. For the first half he was clearly our most valuable player. Valuable enough that I think it warranted Hart consideration. But Toffoli has caught up. I'm not sure who's our MVP between those two now.

MacT had no choice but to trade him. Petry told the Oil he wasn't going to re-sign.

It's the other 29 GMs around the league at the time that were dumb for not offering more than the 2nd rounder MB was able to snag him for.

Toffoli has kept the Habs in this race the last month or so...

But Petry for me is clearly the teams MVP. They're an average team at best when he's not on his game.

Fun to watch when he is on.

I have zero problem with anyone giving it to Petry. We'd be nowhere without him. If he didn't struggle in April, I'd have argued that he should garner Hart consideration. And in fact it won't surprise me if he doesn't get some votes this year.

It got to that point cause MacT was dumb and offered the show me contract instead of just giving Petry a long term contract.

Petry impacts the game much more when he's on but Toffoli has been far more consistent.

Petry had some cache. At one point, he was considered the top prospect for the oilers, but I don't think anyone could have envisioned him to become what he has.

Petry gained his powers back now that Weber is injured. Man needs to know he’s the 1-D before he turns it on

He's a fairly rare breed and I think his career speaks to how difficult it is to project D men over the long term. 8 defensemen were taken in the 1st round that year, and aside from Erik Johnson, the other 7 have played a combined 214 games.

 

[habdynasty]

Plays with a lot more confidence when he knows big Eddy is covering for him.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

That goal of his was a beauty. Not many forwards, let alone D can pull that one off.

Petry and Kulak have this weird sense of confidence where if they are given big responsibilities they will rise to the occasion. But the moment they go into a more secondary role they are like a different player.

As Jeff Petry goes...so do the Habs.

It’s hard to believe that so many here were clamouring to trade Petry for years. Imagine where the team would be if he had been traded. Bergevin’s decision to retain Petry is proof that even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

 

[Demon Wolf]

Bergevin's best trade.

Wow that's one hell of a stat, good find.

As good as find as Petry for a 2nd.

wow.. did not know that

Edmonton threw him right in the fire and he made it

I used to watch Corey Perry give Petie FITS

now he's helping him.. big time..

 

[Skip Bayless]

Petry is always an excellent Dman for 66% of the season, but that remaining 34% is brutal. I think his current salary is perfect.

 

[marvelousmotion]

Fixed it for you, couldn't help myself but remove Kulak from the equation. He really doesn't belong there, it undermines Petry's accomplishments.

Prepare to play 30+ mins a night if we want a chance
