It's tough for me to imagine the Habs giving Petry what he likely demands on his only real chance to cash in, but who knows. Obviously prospects aren't a sure bet, but it's hard for me to imagine that none of Brook, Fleury or Juulsen wind up being a solid top 4 D so there definitely is depth at the position
You make it sound like Petry didn't cash in when he signed his first contract with the Habs. He was 20th highest paid D-man in the NHL when he signed.
And there isn't a ton of evidence that any team is going to give whatever a "fat raise" on a 5.75 AAV contract with a NMC is to a guy that will be 33. Hell, look at what a guy as elite as Giordano signed in 2015.
