Speculation: Petry rumors with detroit

[Detroit Knights]

Rumor: - Three teams interested in Petry

As per Eric Engels (from Sportsnet but at Marinaro podcast), Buffalo and Detroit have interest in the 35 yo RHD. TSN (Chris Johnston) says Dallas are interested, but would ask MTL to retain 50%. I guess the return won't be very big. If 50% retained, might be a little more. Without retaining...

From the main boards.

What you guys thinking on this? I honestly don't believe Detroit would be interested because that information wouldn't come out.

Let us entertain the idea: which defender is being traded and is there retention? Looking at our defense, the only person that could be traded that would make sense is Chiarot imo. With that being said, would MTL even want chiarot back? He is also 35 years old with 2 years left, does that matter to us as Chiarot is 32 with 3 years left. Is Petry actually better than Chiarot for our team specifically, not in the macro sense, but the micro?

These are all questions I legitimately do not know and am curious for the answers or more informed opinions.

EDIT: Also, Petry cannot have salary retained if I remember the trade rules correctly because he already has some of his salary retained already.

That edit is incorrect. There have been several deals in recent memory of teams including a 3rd team in a trade to retain 50% of a player's salary remaining after 50% had already been retained.

fixed, thank you.

Unless Yzerman has something else planned, Wings don't exactly need Petry retained, especially if they are sending a Dman back.

If the Habs want Dmen coming back they can have Chiarot AND Holl.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Who would he replace? Holl who Yzerman just signed to a 3 year deal. Chiarot who still has 3 years left? Ghost who was just signed to man one of our PP units? Its not going to be Seider, Walman or Maatta.

 

[weklof]

Don't really see the fit. He is 35 and on the decline and the Wings are not in win-now mode

 

[ShelbyZ]

Who would he replace? Holl

YES PLEASE

 

[Hammettf2b]

YES PLEASE

You honestly think Yzerman says to himself, "well fans seem to hate Holl, so why don't I trade for Petry to replace him"?

 

[RRhoads]

Only way I could see this happening is if Chiarot goes the other way

No, but it sure would be nice.

 

[norrisnick]

The rumor tying Detroit to Petry is likely from Petry himself. If he's gonna get tossed around late in his career and no contender wants him, he probably wouldn't mind being close to family (if family is even in MI anymore).

 

[Henkka]

I would trade him straight up to Gustav Lindström.

The caphit is pretty nice currently, because Pittsburgh did retain 1.5M of it.

It's only 4.687M for 2 years. Kind of "getting an UFA" with a short-term deal.

I wonder if Montreal would take Chiarot back.... head-to-head -trade.

We need cap hit going the other way to resign players next year

Mostly he would replace some of the LhDs and would put Gostisbehere to left side.

Walman - Seider
Määttä/Chia - Petry
Ghost - Holl
Määttä/Chia - (Lindström)

 

[ricky0034]

I sure do love that Chiarot guy I just wish we could upgrade him by making him a bit older

Not really, there's 33M in cap space. All kids can be extended easily. Perron will be let walk, and maybe Gostisbehere too, if Petry arrives. Anyways there are short-term vets, who won't block any kids, they just buy that 1-2 year developmental period for those to ease the jump at NHL.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Every year with Petry, enough already.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Walman - Seider
Määttä/Chia - Petry
Ghost - Holl

which would mean one of Chia, Holl or Maatta sits. I don't see that happening tbh

I'd rather talk about ketchup.

DAMMIT MAN THERE'S NO TIME!

Or Lalonde will go with 11+7 roster they have already talked about and used a lot on Tampa days.

 

[Bench]

Holl.

Dude can he literally play one game before we start this?

 

[Gniwder]

I'd rather talk about ketchup.

Or mayo. Or both. Combined. Thousand Island dressing. One a double decker hamburger. Big Mac.

Total garbage food, but I actually like the Big Mac. Along with the cancer and heart attack inducing french fries.

I’d do it to watch the forum explode.

I'm sure that's how Stevie judges a trade, that's why he traded Mantha. The Cleveland pick was also probably just a big joke on us, lol.

I'm waiting for the Phil Kessel training camp PTO. Then we can have some serious conversations about hot dogs.
