Proposal: Mike Green for Jeff Petry

[WingsMJN2965]

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

By $9M did you mean $29M?

He’s actually more of a 4th D. And he’s Detroit’s beloved. His dad’s a fan favourite there and his family is loved there. Having those fans there and his family living there would be A. Motivating to him; and B. Easy on him, because he has someone to take care of his kid (his parents), who would also be raised seeing his/her grandparents. That would lead to C. Good performances, because he’s happy there and has less to worry about.

Now, let’s look at the benefits for the Habs getting Mike Green:
- Star power
- Better Weber replacement (hard slap shot)
- Alzner playing alongside former teammate.
- Alzner making his self useful alongside former teammate (he has room to do his thing)
- Mentor and idol for Mete (they’re both offensive defence-men unlike Shea Weber)

Petry could potentially be a top 2 D. No one is etched as a go-to right-hander in Detroit, so if he outplays DeKeyser, it’s all his

Green is injured, a UFA and worse than Petry.

Yeah because a 20 point Petry is so much better then a 40-50 point Green i will take Green over Petry any day of the year Petry has always been meh since his Oilers days.

Petry have 38 pts this year and the same PPG of Mike Green

yes but detroit can choose to sign green if they want to, why take on Petrys contract it makes no sense for them

Petry is by far having his best season point wise, Pretty sure he's benefiting from having Weber out rest of the season.

Just like Green is benefiting from getting the most ice time on the Wings defense.

 

[ole ole]

Detroit get some help and the habs shed some salary

Why all these bad one-sided proposal for Hab players lately. Habs wouldn't even bother to consider that.

Green was able to produce before. This is and will be a career year for petry.

Makes up for the slew of overpayments MTL fans were asking for in December/January.

Petry does a lot of other things besides produce offense.

like what turnovers?

 

[Captain Mountain]

like what turnovers?

Corsi, transition, controlling the blueline etc.

But lets talk about turnovers, the raw data of which basically just saying which D play with the puck more.

Who would sign in Detroit

half of those players are 33+ year olds and have 5-6 more years of contract
lol

And by half you mean like... Two players?

Not a chance Montreal does this.

Montreal doesn't have cap issues. Montreal doesn't need to get older.

 

[ConnorMcNugesaitl]

I have no idea why Wings fans think Holland wouldn't do this aside from the fact that Montreal would never offer it.

Petry is the superior overall defenseman by a large margin, on a reasonable contract with term but not term that makes him negative value and he's a Michigan boy.

This truly is a place that will claim the other teams player sucks and their player is the best no matter what.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Green is set to become a UFA so this is a moot point.

Not that this thread is going anywhere, but it is pretty well known that Detroit management didn't like Petry and had zero interest in him when he was available a few years ago. Who knows if things have changed since then, but they wanted nothing to do with Petry a few years ago.

LOL at no one noticing this is an old thread.

Name one player on Detroit that is 33+ with 5-6 more years left. Only player fitting that criteria is Nielsen and he has 4 years left Zetterberg has 3 years left that's about it.

Yeah why someone bumped this up, I'll never know.

Green is NOT worse than Petry!!

I noticed. I just wanted to reply to something. And it’s not old, because the trade could happen next season
