I would make the Petry trade (or "a" Petry trade) in a second if I'm MB. They should focus on building their young core. They're not that far off from being a contending team. But, trading away a top 4 D for futures is never easy, especially in MTL. All that pressure! Lol.

Absolutely right. TSN put Petry on their trade board, so more RuMoRs will surely pop up in his case in the coming weeks, and I don't doubt it that teams will surely be calling MTL to see what he'd cost. My only concern is that Bergevin won't move him regardless of the offer he gets because there's no one in the system to replace him (yet). That's why I went out and acquired Larsson from EDM in this case, it doesn't need to be for Mete, and I don't honestly want to pay that high of a price for him, but it could be someone from another team that's similar.

Not stupid at all. Is Jake Bean another option? Like Bean and a 2nd?

Bean still has almost zero NHL experience, if you swap Fleury out, a 1st would still have to be involved.

I don’t mind this trade, but doubt it happens. I think the Canes are looking more and more like they won’t be making a trade for a defenseman like Petry. If they do, it be a smaller deal for a someone with experience who would be our 7th.

Regarding Bean, I don’t think he’s on the block.

How are you going to unite Cale and Haydn Fleury, and not swap Price for Marc-Andre?

That EDM trade is hilariously bad. Lavoie alone is worth more than Mete to the Oilers, and you want them to throw in a top-4 RHD too??

Read the last sentence of the description, and the additional Details under Mete.......

Doesn't matter. EDM wouldn't trade any of those pieces for Mete - they simply have no interest in the tiny, left-shot defenseman. None. They already have 5 left-shot defender under team control next year.

He's not a bad player and has some value, just not to Edmonton. Try trading him somewhere else.

It’s not even Mete I want to trade, he’s just a place holder. Could simply just keep him and move Scandella and the lineup still works. The EDM trade is mostly just me targeting Larsson to serve as a temp replacement for next season in terms of minutes for trading Petry. As in someone who can play as a #4D, but probably better served as a #5D

Do the Canes value Bean more than Fleury?

I see. Put up Drouin and we'll talk in the summer.

Yes I think they do.

Lol don’t hold your breath

I could say the same thing, I suppose. You're the one who is after Larsson, I just named my price. I'll give you six months to think about it, if you aren't interested don't call back, I'm happy to keep him.
