Seravelli says it’s Math.

Like a cockroach Petts survives

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

This is great.

Way to go Hextall.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Would’ve wanted Petry to play with Math. Oh well. At least more cap flexibility there.

Need an top 6 F though.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Honestly I loved what Matheson did last year but getting out of his contract is worth it.

Petry is a legitimate add, he does everything that Matheson does but better.

 

[Pancakes]

I like Matheson more than most but I think this is a fine deal

 

[Turin]

Turning Mathesons good season into Petry is pretty sick.

Matheson is only signed for one more year than Petry is, and at a cheaper cost.

Having said that Petry shores up the right side which is important. Pens have more depth on LD so it works fine

 

[TKalltheTime]

This is a pretty decent upgrade, but taking on more cap or I guess a wash if you take into account the savings on Marino

Most importantly, we don't have to contort the line-up to shelter Matheson. Petry can handle shit.

 

[dogthateats]

Poehling is pretty big and a first round drafted center. I haven't watched him play though

 

[Andy99]

Lol…I wish it was Petts but they’re working hard to transform the D, which I think needed it

 

[OnMyOwn]

I love the swap. My only issue is his age, we’ll see.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Petry brings basically what Matheson brings, but he's been doing it for years instead of Matheson struggling a ton and then finally doing it last year.

How is Petrys why better? Other than a year less? Is that what you meant?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I love the swap. My only issue is his age, we’ll see.

If only we could add a promising young offensive defenseman to offset this deal...

Patients grass hoppa!

 

[Lust for Life]

Official. Fourth-round pick heading to MTL.

 

[Ogrezilla]

woah, that's a nice move. Petry is legit. He's the best 2nd d-man we've had behind Letang in a long time.

 

[Shady Machine]

I dig it.

 

[xlm34]

The offseason definitely went in a direction I didn't expect.

Skimming scouting reports has a buncha "Big, talented, but kind of a dummy" vibes.

Another buy low reclamation project I guess?

Still don't know what's up cap-wise. Create ~$3 million with the Marino deal just to spend like $2 million of it going from Matheson to Petry and adding Poehling?

Maybe we trade Blueger or something also Johan Larsson is looking unlikely

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

Maybe not trade a dman in his prime who had a great season plus a pick for a 35 year old
