What is with people on this board wanting to dump Petry for just about any random player at any random position?! Need LW, add Petry to the offer. Need LD, add Petry to the offer. Need a new Zamboni driver, trade Petry for one.
The guy held down the fort when the man mountain was out and he did an admirable job, he's solid defensively, signed to a reasonable contract and if we trade him we have to find a replacement because we're not exactly deep on RD, it's really a crapshoot after him and Weber. And if we trade him for a left handed D to play with Weber, our 2nd pairing would suck massively. Just imagine a Mete - Folin line, night after night.
