Sigh....Petry has a NMC so moving him will be hard.
BTW I totally agree with you on Petry. Every time I watch him Im just dumbfounded why everyone likes him so much. I think the answer is he rarely makes huge mistakes. Plays within his means most times, never is really out of position. Etc. I can't stand his brain fart mentality and stone hands when he enters the offensive blue line, this guy dumps a puck into the corner on a breakaway if you let him. BUT he is a solid overall player. Not nearly a 5.5M player of course but at 4.25M he'd be solid.
Aside from Petry, you are thinking to narrowly. You want Ceci and Schmidt, etc but your giving away almost nothing in value. Joe Morrow? He's a waiver wire toss up at this point. In what world is anyone going to look at him say I really want this guy? As for Lindgren, he does have value but not nearly the value you are bestowing on him.
I know why you want Ceci and Schmidt but that is the same reason why those GM's would hang up your call if you proposed this to them. Brian Boyle was traded at last years deadline for a 2nd and Byron Froese. you want Schmidt and Ceci with cost control for the same thing?
Come on guys. I seriously urge you to use previous IRL trades as basis for your trades in the future. If you can back it up with comparisons to real life trades, you'll have a better chance at convincing people.
