Rumor: Trade Rumors & Proposals Thread III | Friedman on Petry: "This One Will End Soon"

[Arpeggio]

Eberle + Petry might bring back a couple good veterans, who the hell knows anymore.

 

[Zoombie]

Petry + for Kindl and Weiss


Ya heard it here first

Mind boggling is the only way to describe today. Lots of head scratching going on, but reminding myself it is all part of God's plan.


Petry's wife ^

So now we can add God to the list of people to blame for the Oilers woes.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Petry for Marc Savard. That solves our C depth issue, right?!?

 

[duul]

Interesting. Ideally we would move Petry and something for a centre. Columbus is loaded with them.

 

[sepHF]

Dreger was wondering if it might just be a pick back. If so, why trade him in the first place? Why trade him at the start of the season?

If that is true there is no reason what so ever to move him before the deadline

Now if only there was some adversary to God that we could call up...

Kevin Lowe?

 

[ohheyhemsky]

We're probably getting offered a 2nd rounder for him, and MacT doesn't see that offer happening at the deadline with how poor our team will play this season. He'll sell "high" because we'll have a 2nd in a "deep" draft.

It was gross writing that out, but I could see it being completely true. I wouldn't even be surprised.

Honestly, at this point there's nothing that we should be surprised by. This organization continues to baffle the lot of us. It's time to acknowledge things are not going to change, and maybe start looking elsewhere for quality hockey to watch/follow.

as if you actually ever did-Mamme

Touche.

Kevin Lowe?

KLowe is Santa; and I love Anagrams.

 

[Rafters]

Petry is a good dman , but another player that is easy to play against, I could see the Oilers wanting to move him for the right package. He does a lot of the right things and has a good toolbox, but he does not have the aggression needed to play consistently physical and still makes bonehead defensive plays as well......might be part of the culture change needed.....we have too many similar type of dmen ...we need some that can knock a player on his ass when needed and stick up for teammates

The last part is futile. We're never going to cheer for another team and that's the sad truth. We're stuck with this, because at some point or another, whether born into it or a casual glance over turned into an infatuation, we've become thoroughly attached to this team. Well, I can speak for everyone, but at least I know that I'll be devoted to this piece of garbage until the end of my lifetime.

..

I'll probably have to take up Yoga or something to counter act my patronage to this team.

You sure? Fairly certain he only has 6 ringdeer.

 

[Cawz]

Kevin Lowe?

Haha.

No, Miroslav of course.

 

[duul]

Expect to see Eakins fired in the next couple days.

Too funny! Kinda fitting though. What would MacT and Eakins look like with horns?

 

[Del Preston]

Expect to see Eakins fired in the next couple days.

Based on anything?

I might streak down Whyte Ave if this happens.

 

[Redwood Original]

Expect to see Eakins fired in the next couple days.

This more of your 'inside information'?

 

[camboy]

Please don't tease me.

He's making the tank too obvious for us.

The issue is that out of all the Dmen we have, why single out Petry? It's not like Nikitin or Ference have been any better. Sitting our RHD Petry also leaves us with a D that will have one LHD playing on the right side...

Ultimately, you're right though. Petry is not a player to get worked up about. He's a 2nd pairing guy who moves the puck okay. He doesn't do much else.

No, you're right. But I've definitely gained a growing interest in other teams around the league. My passion will never be similar to what it is for the Oilers, but I've started really enjoying watching the other 29 teams playing.

I can't agree more to this. I'm watching a Leafs/Avalanche game, and I'm fully involved. I hate both teams, but it's nice watching hockey that doesn't aggravate me every few minutes.
