Habs doesn't need to shed salary and Petry is a key part of the D corp. They're already 10+ millions under the cap.

And why exactly do the Habs need to shed salary? Do we need more than the 9M+ cap space that we already have before the seasons ends? Is there a complimentary 1st round draft pick if we reach a certain amount of free cap space before the season ends?!

All that aside- You would need 2 Mike Greens to get 1 Petry. Im not even a fan of Petry but Green is a tire fire now.

Detroit isn't trading Green for a 30 year old D. Futures only.

 

[Stuzchuk]

did you look at who needs to shed salary before posting this???

they have Athanasiou, Larkin, Mantha, Bertuzzi & Frk to re-sign as RFA + ad a spare GL to that with "say" 9M cap to deal with

This deal would never happen as neither teams are making the playoffs this year, No way would Green waive for a Montreal team that is playing as bad as Detroit is. We could've easily have traded for Petry when Edmonton dealt him and our scouts weren't enthused by him so no dice. Petry wouldn't help us all that much any ways.

 

[Kcb12345]

Neither team has a reason to do this. Both want/need futures.

This picks or prospects only.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

None of those players deserve big contracts yet. Mantha and Larkin will get the biggest ones, but even then they shouldn't be getting more than $6m AAV and no more than 6 years. Arguably they could have more, but it's a risk.

I could definitely see Larkin getting 8 x $6.5 million and Mantha around 6 x $5.5 million give or take.

Why would Montreal trade for a rental? And they have plenty of cap space

 

[rent free]

red wings don't need petry. they have a lot of big contracts as it is rn.

 

[Tatar Shots]

In addition to everything that has already been stated, it was mentioned several times before Petry was traded that Detroit's management were not at all interested. They reportedly did not think highly of him. Who knows if that has changed, but it seems unlikely Detroit would be interested now.

And yea, Detroit can't afford his cap hit and would be much better off trading Green for futures

 

[ManofSteel55]

I'd rather have Petry even if Green wasn't a UFA. Not as much offensive talent, but Petry is far more reliable defensively.

stop making habs trade proposals. please

 

[Seanaconda]

Habs have all the cap space

 

[Hostile Offer]

Obvious no from Montreal as the chances are Green is gonna walk at the end of the season.

 

[Oddbob]

Holy crap this is bad for Detroit.

1) Doesn't fit Detroit's needs, we downgrade on the blueline.
2) We get no futures for our most valuable piece that is moving on.
3) Petry is really nothing special, I honestly view him as a 5-6 d, which we have many of.

We have no cap issues going into next season! Mrazek and Green gone nets us 10 million on their own, plus the cap is going up at least 3, and maybe 5 million. 13-15 million is more than enough to resign our 3 big RFA's, Frk won't get much of a raise, and neither will Bertuzzi.

[HisNoodliness]

Everybody says no. Makes no sense. Lock it up mods.

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Makes no sense for either team. Doubt Habs want a rental in return for Petry and Detroit would be looking for futures for Green

Plus I doubt Petry waives his NMC, despite his connections to the Detroit area. He and especially his wife have really fallen in love with the city of Montreal.

I see you haven't paid any attention to Green. The guy is a very good top 4D.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Man. It must be make a bad trade between the Wings/Habs week.

Detroit says no, yet again.

 

[Oddbob]

Thanks for posting the thoughts Wings fans have at acquiring Petry!

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Sounds about right. It'd be stupid to sign either of them to bridge deals.

But yeah, if we make any trade it's for our future and most likely using the draft.
