He wanted 4.5 for 5 years in his last year here. That’s what MacT turned down.
The offseason before was when those negotiations were happening. Petry wanted 4.5 x 5 and MacT refused to go longer than 1 year.But if MacT would have signed him longterm the offseason before instead of giving him the one year show me deal (which didn't make sense at the time anyways btw) then he could have signed Petry for $4M or less on a long term deal.
Here are the comparables who signed in 2013 or 2014:
Jakub Kindl - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Travis Hamonic - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Carl Gunnarsson - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Jake Gardiner - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Dmitry Kulikov - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Ryan Ellis - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
The offseason before was when those negotiations were happening. Petry wanted 4.5 x 5 and MacT refused to go longer than 1 year.
So MacT signed him to a one year deal on July 8th, 2014 because Petry was asking for 4.5 x 5? He couldn't negotiate at all with Petry's camp? Comparatively Jake Gardiner who put up GP-81 G-10 A-21 as compared to Petry's GP-80 G-7 A-10 that same year (2013-14) and got a 4.05 x 5 deal signed on July 29th, 2014. MacT f***ed up plain and simple. It was an unforced error.
Petry should have been signed long term at a $4M or better AAV, maybe $4.5M if it's a longer deal like the one Hamonic got. If MacT holds firm what's the worst that's going to happen? Petry didn't file for salary arbitration the summer of 2014 so after he didn't file there was no leverage for Petry and MacT could have just sat firm and dragged things out to put pressure on Petry similar to what David Poile did with Ellis that same summer which eventually resulted in a team friendly long term deal. Instead MacT just gifts Petry a one year deal giving Petry all the power as a soon to be UFA the following summer. Just absolute asset mismanagement.
It's also fair to point out that Ty Smith was the nightmare draft scenario on HFOil if all of Dahlin, Hughes, Boqvist, Bouchard, and Dobson were picked before 10th.Its also somehow apropos that ty Smith snuck onto that list.
Personally I wanted smith in that scenario. I never understood why he was a tier below.It's also fair to point out that Ty Smith was the nightmare draft scenario on HFOil if all of Dahlin, Hughes, Boqvist, Bouchard, and Dobson were picked before 10th.
We had Klef so LHD wasn't a priority as much as someone like a Dman like Bouchard bringsIt's also fair to point out that Ty Smith was the nightmare draft scenario on HFOil if all of Dahlin, Hughes, Boqvist, Bouchard, and Dobson were picked before 10th.
Do we even win the McLotto if we didnt trade Petry?He would have cost only 3.5M/yr during McDavid first 5 years as an Oiler
Am I wrong or was it just that Pete's wasn't in the new jultz hall fanclub?
That's right. Forgot about thatDo we even win the McLotto if we didnt trade Petry?

I mean he was there for 59 of the games that season. I don’t think much changes.That's right. Forgot about that
I remember numerous posters freaking out that the Oilers would pick him because he was the good ol' Western Canadian boy. It was fueled by Stauffer pumping Smith's tires a few times before the 2018 draft.Personally I wanted smith in that scenario. I never understood why he was a tier below.
How many defensemen reach their potential at 30? He was such a weird case. Mismanaged and unappreciated here.
I liked him, too.Personally I wanted smith in that scenario. I never understood why he was a tier below.
I think it was 3.5M x 5 years before he signed the 1 year thoHe wanted 4.5 for 5 years in his last year here. That’s what MacT turned down.
It was 4.5 I remember distinctly. Could probably look it up. He ended up getting 5.5 from Montreal.I think it was 3.5M x 5 years before he signed the 1 year tho

Yeah, it's interesting. Petry's job in Edmonton was pretty important, but he didn't really start shooting the puck until he turned 27. Once that started happening, it was only a matter of time before his offensive output exploded.Defensemen do generally take longer and have peak years plus or minus 30.
