Confirmed with Link: Montreal sends Hoffman & Pitlick to Pittsburgh for Petry (25% retained by Pens), DeSmith, Legare & Pens 2025 2nd

[MarkovsKnee]

Nathan Légaré is coming to Montréal from what I've heard

He'll add a physical presence in Laval. I would've preferred Poulin though even with his issues.

File under “grass isn’t always greener”…. Petry

LOL

 

[McGees]

I hope we have a partner to flip Petry to, he’s bad vibes now.

25% salary retention on petry by the penguins. No retention by us.

 

[Redux91]

LOL WHAT
getting Petry BACK ? ugh
Love getting rid of Hoffman tho

 

[Vachon23]

I don't hate that move at all !

 

[Whitesnake]

OUATTE. DA. ACTUEL. PHOQUE.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Welcome back tank commander Jeff Petry !!

 

[Hope Of Glory]

We get rid of Hoffman, get a 2nd back and no retention? Plus we'll probably flip Petry at the TDL? Souds good.

DeSmith has 1 year left @1.8M so not really a big factor.

Considering it was a Habs contract originally, it's hilarious IMO.

And my boy Jeff is back, LOL!

 

[Jee]

lol Petry's wife must be fuming

 

[Obee Juan]

What the hell is this trade and how does it do anything for us besides a 2nd round pick that will be used on a defenseman with no offensive ability? No one is going to want Petry at the deadline

Dust off your Petry jersey folks!

I like that we dumped some contracts and I won't have to see Hoffman ever again.

I'm really curious about what plan is for some of these pieces coming in. I wonder if Savard is on his way out..? It'd be surprised and of course it was unique circumstances in both cases but Chiarot and Ed who fit that style of player were traded by this regime.

I don't know if DeSmith is here to stay, he's a decent back up.

I like the 2nd being back, especially in 2025. Who knows how PIT will be doing by then with Malkin and Crosby maybe gone plus Letang.

 

[Theosis]

What a shit trade if nothing else happens. We're taking on more salary for just a 2nd?

 

[The Great Weal]

So Hoffman and Karlsson on the same team again?

EDIT: He got flipped to the Sharks, the same team that flipped him to the Panthers a while back lol

 

[HomaridII]

Basically we got a 2nd and 2 guys and got rid of Hoffman .... I like Hughes a lot.

[frenchcanayan]

Great freaking trade lol lets gooo

 

[Whitesnake]

Légaré is the typical Hughes move. But Petry? So we're eager to lose Hoffman salary to get 1 more year of Petry? Petry better be on his way out.

 

[Koivu11]

I’m so glad Hoffman is gone. That’s the best news in all of this.

 

[le_sean]

f*** off. I want nothing to do with that whiner coming back. Hope he’s shipped somewhere else. Glad Hoffman is gone. Worst player on the team.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Thank God Hoffman is gone.
