The most obvious is 1980. Denis Savard instead of Doug Wickenheiser.

HuGo are patient, if Petry has to stay around until the TDL...so be it.

I am sure if they are going to eat up to 50% in salary to unload Petry at max value, they will expect a solid return, it is until 2025. 2.35M for 2yrs of Petry with 50% retained.

I know they are, but the dynamic with Petry might not be great depending on where he's at in his head. Also the 4 goalies aren't going away by themselves.

Would still keep Petry over Savard and one of Allan, Primeau and DeSmith is gone before opening day - one way or another.

Savard is their PK/shutdown guy, Petry would be PP/5 on 5, that leaves Barron or Kova rotating on the right side. I am not even including Wideman.

Left side is in better shape now with Matheson, Guhle, Harris and Wifi.

Forthe goalies, worse case scenario put Primeau and DeSmith on waiver. DeSmith cap hit is 1.8M and Primeau has a one way deal, wouldn't be surprised both clear waiver.

Both Petry and Savard are gone in a year (or two), if not sooner.

Keep the better player. Don't force kids into playing that role right now, let them learn and slowly take over.

Petry's preference is not to come back to MTL, they had asked for a trade mostly because of covid restrictions in Canada, they had a new baby during the pandemic and his wife struggled with 4 kids and no family help (in the US).

Petry at 2.35M will definitely find a taker, the question is what is HuGo asking for 2yrs of Petry at 2.35M.

needs to be to a team in a win now mode, like PIT was.
DAL? VEG? LAK? TB?
at the very least a 2nd round pick, more if they retain.

Nothing has been said by anyone, so who knows.

I am sure HuGo said if the deal is right, they would trade him but made no promises.

We will see.

Still think there is just as much of a chance that Savard is dealt instead.

Never would happen.

Get real.

- fidopro

Then don't trade him when he asks. Or say only if you waive the clause. Don't give him the best of both worlds, otherwise you're bound by his terms

Never would happen.

How do we increase his value? Put him in the minors!
