It's not a bad offer. I just wonder how many other teams outbid this?
-
2019 1st: It's more likely a 25+ pick. Is there any lottery protection?
-
2020 3rd: Decent add on top of the 1st but it's more likely a 85+ pick.
-
Horton: I don't think the Habs would be willing to pay that LTIR contract for this year and next for a meh return.
-
Nielsen: Doesn't fit a Habs need. Maybe in Laval.
I do think Petry is a good fit for the Leafs but I don't see a deal here. Petry is an above average top 4D and signed for a solid 3 year term from age 30-32. Big mobile body who can play 2nd PP unit and clear the front of the net for Andersen. He also has some goal scoring ability. 8 goals two years ago and 12 last year... On a team that lacks skill and offense! I think he scores 10+ easily on that Leafs roster.
I think you need to cough up one of Liljegren or Sandin and the 1st if you want to make the Habs think about trading Petry. Tough pill to swallow put no team is trading an above average top 4D on a 3 year term for cheap. Habs needs are LD so if you want Petry, the Habs will be looking at one of Liljegren or Sandin... like it or not.
