I think Bergevin has a higher pick in mind for Petry. Probably the Avs pick (4 oa).
There's almost no chance Petry returns anywhere close to that much.

That's not bad. I'd certainly consider it. I didn't know the Ducks were interested in acquiring defensemen though. Thought they were pretty deep at that position?- Petry (50% retention)
for
- Ducks 9th OA
- Ducks 2nd rounder
There is a little chatter on the main board and I countered them with the proposal above. Not getting jumped on for it yet which means something on HF boards. lol.
Like or dislike?

I spoke to a friend who works for the Canadiens Bergevin has reached out to Cheveldayoff about taking on salary. Potentially Adam Lowry and Matthieu Perrault. I don’t know about the player Bergevin is offering but this will clear up $6 mil cap space for the Jets to resign Patrik Laine.
Perreault or Lowry might not be a bad acquisitions. Especially if the Jets are giving an incentive to take them.I spoke to a friend who works for the Canadiens Bergevin has reached out to Cheveldayoff about taking on salary.

if true I'd be interested in what we could get for taking on over 7M in cap space for 2 years. (7,041,666) so it better be something very good. Last year we took on Mason at 4.1M plus Armia a 4th in 2020 and a 7th in '19.
Perrault is coming off the worst season of his career ppg wise in any season he's played more then 40 games. He does have a 5 team no trade clause.
I would assume this means Thompson and Weal aren't back if he was to do this deal as I assume we wouldn't buy out either player. The Jets only have 3 picks at the draft so perhaps we could add a pick if they were to add someone like Roslovic, Vesalainen or Morrissey depending on who Timmins likes more vs what pick we were to give up.
CLAUSE DETAILS: Lists 8 teams he can NOT be traded to
May be academic in the end, Neal may nix a deal.
Assuming he wouldn't, he doesn't fit where the Habs are going. He's not a great skater. He's got size and would be useful on the PP but the extra contract year and greater salary vs. Alzner makes him unpalatable.
Alzner can be buried and bought out. Why add another ball and chain.
They are better than 4th liners. If our 4th line gets 15 goals and 30 pts a year then that is very good. They are a considerable upgrade over Peca, Hudon, Thompson, Dlo and Weise.Who's spot they taken? Both are 4th liners,have MTL not enough choice as is?
They won’t move Valimaki. Maybe Lehkonen and 2nd for Brodie and Stone to free up cap space for Flames. Doesn’t hurt us either. Both Wpg and Vegas need cap space so Lowry (Wpg) would be a nice addition and Tuch from Vegas. Need to get bigger but good skating big guys are even better.I think if the Flames are desperate to move him/free up cap space to address their goalie situation (which, I believe they will be to really make a run at cup contending over the next 2-3 years), they will be willing to part with quality futures to make it happen.
Valimaki & Bennett (or Jankowski) are exactly the kinds of assets that would fit in perfectly with out roster make-up. Neal, while i agree not a perfect fit, is worth the flyer on if we can add those two and exit Alnzner in the process.
Unlike Lucic, there's pretty strong reason to believe he can bounce back to a 20+ goal scorer. While his skating and defensive play are subpar, our top-9 group has those two attributes in spades, but lack his size, nastiness & PP scoring proficiency (even in his disastrous year, he put up 1/2 as many PP goals as any of our forwards, and through his career has consistently put up more than what our guys produce).
Worthwhile gamble imo, IF we get one of Valimaki/Bennett and ship out Alzner in the process.
living in Cgy (and following the flames more than i otherwise would), i still think a large deal makes sense for both teams...
To Cgy
Byron(or Shaw), Hudon (or Reilly), Alzner (1M retained)
~7M
To Mtl
Valimaki, Bennett, Neal, Frolik
~13.5M
frees us up to then trade Drouin for a quality picks/prospects, and still end up with an upgraded Defense and forward group and cap room intact...
Tatar - Domi - Neal
Frolik - Danault - Gallagher
Bennett - JKO - Shaw
Lekhonen - Poehling - Armia
Mete - Weber
Valimaki - Petry
Kulak - Juulsen
Price
Lindgren
Actually Taney on Wpg would also be a nice pickup. Great motor, plays big and could develop into a great top 9 player.They won’t move Valimaki. Maybe Lehkonen and 2nd for Brodie and Stone to free up cap space for Flames. Doesn’t hurt us either. Both Wpg and Vegas need cap space so Lowry (Wpg) would be a nice addition and Tuch from Vegas.

Tuch is a wish to have but if you look at their roster, not sure who else would go. He is now a third line player. I am assuming they want to keep Karlsson.Already 27 though, not a 'young' player anymore, produced a bit this season, wonder if he just benefited from Wpg firepower or if he could produce even more with more icetime. Also, may hit UFA if Wpg don't re-sign him.
As for your previous comment, Las Vegas just has no incentives to trade Tuch, he's one of the their best and biggest forwards, and only 22.

Morrissey isn’t going anywhere. He is there best defenseman. Roslovic could be an option or Sami Niku, Logan Stanley

I forgot we have Hudon.
Maybe he’ll be in a package to the Jets.
I think Lowry and Armia are good friends. Taking on Pear contract means they will need to add in something like a second and 5th.
Something along the line....
To MTL: Adam Lowry, Matthieu Perrault, 2nd round 2020, 5th round 2019.
To Wpg: Charles Hudon, and Matthew Peca
The question was about a one for one:
To Calgary: Alzner
To Mtl: James Neal
So, your answer is no, you wouldn't do it.
Of course, if we start adding pieces, then it becomes an Armia deal, which is a whole other question.
Maatta ? the guy that was healthy scratched during the Playoffs ? why ?If Edler resign with Vancouver what do you think of Ben Hutton ? I would go after him before Maatta
I don't know, but if the incentive is good enough, it doesn't matter. I think Perreault would be an upgrade over Hudon, Deslauriers, Thompson, Weise, Peca, and maybe even Armia. Perreault might pass as a middle six guy, while Lowry is more bottom 6. Bottom line is that it's all about the incentive that comes with them. Habs could retain on any of them and try to move them later in the season or at the deadline if they don't want to keep them.Who's spot they taken? Both are 4th liners,have MTL not enough choice as is?

For sure. They could make a trade right this minute if they wanted to.
