Seems like a valid reason to keep him, no ?

he probably does but the thought of next year without Petry scares the crap out of him. Cause he's not capable of replacing him.

The scary part is we stink with or without him , we are lottery bound again next year unless

Price wins the Vezina
JD and Domi turn into Marner and Kane
KK gets 75 points

I would bet 0/3 on those ideas
 
The way the leafs and panthers are playing right now i am sure there is not one Habs player who feels they are out of the race. I do not expect much anymore in the trade deadline. This team will not be a lottery pick if we stay healthy.

We are a lottery pick if healthy . You can’t ask for anything more than last years gutsy career year team with 98 points
and playoff miss

here’s the reality...Petry will be 33 next year and a pending UFA.

here’s the possible outcomes that can potentially happen

A) Habs sign a 33 year old dman next year to a long term deal (minimum 4 yrs - no choice)
B) team is in a playoff spot hunt next year you don’t trade him or re-sign him and he walks for nothing In the summer.
C) you decide to trade him tomorrow for a very good return...1st rounder, A level prospect and another asset.
D) you decide to trade him at next years deadline for a lesser return than this year.

where this organization is today and most likely next year I think option C is best

C is the best option if you have a regime with logic

Anything can happen waiting til next deadline .....injuries, poor play, etc....

The summer will create more teams in the mix but your return will probably be no better than tomorrow

Plus we can take on cap helping the other team looking to unload another player

If you get a solid offer we would be fools to not take it .

the thing is that a team will pay more for Petry tomorrow because they will have him for this years playoff run and all of next year.

so for sure as you say hetting a solid offer tomorrow should logically be accepted

Colorado , Vegas and Vancouver should be all in on Petry

He has a limited traded clause but not sure who is on it

If your Petry why would you not join a playoff roster .
 
Can we take Loungos cap hit back in a trade??? That might be a good bargaining chip to get some good prospects or picks from the Nucks

apparently with the Habs situation and Petry being a UFA after next year he is one of the most talked about possibilities...if MB seriously listens to offers he would probably get a dozen teams in on him...I can see each playoff team needing a dman like him

Maybe there’s a reason why a dozen teams could be in on Petry. Habs really need to reflect on this carefully.

I believe Friedman said that Jeff Petry has been garnering the most interest among dmen, but MB is not going to deal him

I’m sure MB already knows who is offering what and countered. Now it’s a waiting game, as other players come off the board Perry’s value increases.

Hopefully there is a team willing to pay the price because based on past trades MB doesn’t lose when he gets his ask.
