Confirmed Trade: [PIT/MTL] Jeff Petry and Ryan Poehling for Mike Matheson and 2023 4th round pick

It has to be Pettersson+ for Petry, nothing else would work from a cap perspective for the Penguins.

Swapping Pettersson and Marino for Petry and Smith is definitely an interesting off-season with the defense.

got to be a 2023 1st if it's not it's a steal

Nah, he's got a hefty contract, he's older, he's got three years left on his contract, there isn't much cap space out there , and he's demanded a trade.

I'm sure the Habs will get fair value, but the best way to get a first for him was to wait until he was an expiring.

 

[Dominance]

But betting on old guys is risky as hell.

The older you get the more injury prone you get.
& the odds at seeing sharp decline go way up

I don’t see the Pens as an elite team with or without Petry

Pens have already won, won, and won again with this core. They’re no longer the top team in the division, they have no youth about to step in and make a difference, and ALL of their key players are old and injury prone.

Yes, it’s risky, but it’s a good risk. Better than accepting mediocrity.

Montreal media and fans missed being able to short form a player's name to KK so it will be Kapanen going back the other way.

After the trade Carolina will sign him to a one year 6.1 million offer sheet.

The Pennsylvania teams are having a really weird offseason

Yes Petts and Blue I'm thinking for Petry with us signing Larsson right after

 

[JoeSakic13]

I had a feeling the Marino trade was to make way for another Dman.

I was not expecting this to be the guy.

 

[domaug]

Matheson is going the other way???

WTF is this Penguins off-season??

[Umingmak]

They dumped Marino just to get Petry..?

 

[kevistar]

Im calling it. It's ty smith 1 for 1

Edit: Well at least I tried

 

[CupInSIX]

A 28yo for a rebuilding team? Uh...

 

[More 2004]

Now bring Jagr back

As terrible as he would be this would be epic.

 

[Forge]

Ummmmm??????
I thought they were dumping salary

Yep. For Petry!

 

[TheBeard]

Pens trying to get as old as possible. It’s an interesting strategy

So you’re saying there’s a chance they’ll want Vlasic??

 

[IranCondraAffair]

A 28yo for a rebuilding team? Uh...

Better than a 34 year old. He's got some term. You don't want your whole team to be rookie deals.

 

[Pancakes]

Im calling it. It's ty smith 1 for 1

Pens dont have the cap space for that.

 

[MXD]

....Okay if we traded Petry for Matheson, that is ... f***ing stupid.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Actually I like the deal. Matheson was great for the pens last year but Petry is simply better.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Wow I wonder what the return is

 

[IranCondraAffair]

My Matheson guess was a good one.

Pens fans: Why were you all guessing Pettersson instead of Matheson?

LOL and Letang was rumored as a replacement for a parting Petry.
(...and Petry was sent to Pittsburgh to play on the same team as Letang).

...And frankly, that is the best role for him. In his good days, he's plenty good enough for the first pair, but his best hockey came with him achoring the second (or 1-B) pair, while Weber was leading the 1-A pair)

To be fair letang was only rumoured by fan boys because of his first language
