There's no maybe???

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I think he stays until the TDL.

 

[OnTheRun]

Yes, to Edmonton. Because Jeff is stuck in a weird reverse time loop.

 

[MXD]

I think he does and I hope he does.

I could see Montreal using their new assets for Askarov.

 

[Michoulicious]

Yes. Hughes wants to be under the cap before season starts. It is advantageous to put Price on LTIR AFTER the beginning of the season, not before, but they have to be cap compliant at the beginning of the season.

My best guest is Petry + one of the goalies are gone before the season starts.

It entirely depends on whether Hughes wants to use off season LTIR on Price's contract or to try and get under the cap and be cap compliant on opening day before putting him on LTIR. There are advantages/disadvantages to both.

Conversely, if Hughes uses off season LTIR he will need to get as close to the cap as possible.

We will know sooner than later I presume.

he will be traded or divorced

None of these new "assets" are worth him

Because the Habs have capspace, they have the luxury of keeping Petry and Desmith. Barron / Xhekaj will start in Laval and that may not be a bad thing.

A team will come calling for a Habs goalie in the first month. Or we may incur an injury (Allen). So Desmith isn't a hindrance in my eyes. He could be waived but no point.

To be honest he would be a good player to keep if he can get his head back off the anti-vax non-sense.

I don’t really see how a players political views affect their on ice play.

IIRC the Petry have a child with special needs that need regular visit to the Hospital and covid rules made things difficult for them.

But reading this thread I realise it might be better to move him and save ourselves the embarrassment from the haters.

His wife got all crazy because of the Covid restrictions, before Covid hit she was pretty happy here as far as we know.

People who want to hate find reasons to do so…. single parenting 4-boys under 6 because spouse is traveling 50% of time and family not being able to come over from Texas, let alone special needs…

His wife was the reason Petry waived his UFA rights to extend w Habs after being acquired from Edm

That was the reason why he requested a trade and started playing like shit. His wife was acting like they were being oppressed.

 

[expy]

Stays until the TDL.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I think so.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Stays until the TDL.

Maybe. But then we run the risk of him getting hurt.

If there's a deal to be had ahead of the season I think we'll do it. But... there may not be a deal to be had until the season starts.

Yeah, they clearly liked it here, he extended 2 times to stay with the Habs instead of hitting the market.

 

[Milhouse40]

Yes, to Edmonton. Because Jeff is stuck in a weird reverse time loop.

The worst part, I was looking to through teams tight with Cap that are going for it and in need of an experienced RHD......and Edmonton is pretty much a good fit here.

 

[Tripledeke333]

Anyone think Petry may stay? He asked to be traded because his family did not like Covid lockdowns, but those are gone now. He lived here a long time so his family likely has some connections here instead of starting over someplace new. If he finds his game again we could keep him or trade him for more value.

Yo, f*** that shit.

Just be hating always.


But for real that's a very good reason and it sounded like that might the main reason as he didn't seem that adamant.

If he stays, awesome, if he's dealt, best of luck to him with his new team.
