Habs accept

Stars decline that Habs trade 1000/1000 times. I don’t know how many times I have to say this, Stars aren’t trading Bourque for Petry, and certainly not adding a first. Drouin changes nothing in this.

Would you trade 2 of Montreal’s lower first’s for Suter?

BOURQUE AND A FIRST FOR THOSE SCRUBS???

Oh my f*cking god...

Comapring Suter to Petry just shows how little you know. Petry has 21 points in 29 games under St Louis. He has better xGF/60 and xGA/60 than Letang and that includes the Ducharme period.

Habs accept!

Yeah you are right, i would downgrade to a 2nd rnd pick now that i think about it.

Drouin could be retained 50% and thats a 2nd rounder at the deadline right there

Petry is worth Bourque and a 3rd. Add the 2nd and 3rd together and you get a 1st, and the Habs could add a later 3rd or an early 4th

I would downgrade it by dropping them all and showing the middle finger to Montreal.

We're not moving Bourque, period.

And I still wouldn't trade Bourque and a 1st for Letang. You don't trade the equivalent of 2 first's for a 35 year old dman that's being paid too much (Dallas wants to get rid of Klinger who wants maybe a million more). And 29 games is a wayyy too small sample size to evaluate players.

If Petry could've returned this haul he would've gone at the deadline, only problem he didn't.

If Petry is worth Bourque+3rd, then Ryan Suter is worth Joshua Roy+26th overall, period. Otherwise everything you just said is extremely biased and/or addlepated. Probably both.

Here's the thing - we're not spending a massive haul for Petry because of his last 29 games. The 40 games prior to that he was one of the worst D-men in the league. Only a f*cking idiot would consider the latter half when dealing with him.

So youre gonna completely disregard the 82 games before that as well? You cant pick and choose which games youre gonna count for a player. Either they all do or none do and Petry was an elite D man in 2020-2021. Sucked the first half of 2021-2022 but everyone on the Habs did and then with the coaching change, hes back to his 2020-2021 play.

Then use the entire of 2020-2021 and the years before that to evaluate Petry. Using the 40 game sunder Ducharme is the minority of his games. Using the entirety of last season + playoffs and the second half of this season is a larger game size than the 40 game under Ducharme in which everyone was bad because hes a bad coach with a bad system

You were the one who used the 29 games tho, not me.

And Dallas will probably get a coach just like him (basically like there last one) so it counters out. I wouldn't want a Ducharme Petry even less than a regular Petry, and chances are that's what we're going to get when we hire a bone head coach (hopefully not, but it's inevitable).

There isnt a team in the league who wouldnt take regular Petry. And no way the Stars hire anyone as bad as Ducharme. Hes the worst coach ive ever seen. And you can see it with the prduction of the team after he got fired. And St Louis isnt that great of a coach either, hes just not Ducharme

They basically has Ducharme as there last coach, aka Bones, who is as sh*t if not worst. He ruined what is known as offense on this team.

And no, every team wouldn't want a regular Petry, the salary cap is a thing, this isn't NHL 22 where you can turn it off, if so yes every team would take Petry.

I'm not. You were the one started to cherry pick first, I'm taking into account this year as a whole which definitely did show up some red flags to any sensible hockey fan.

There's three facts as to why I find Petry a questionable asset
- age
- contract
- erratic play

Pretty substantial points, no?

Petry has value and skill, there's no doubt about it. But I have serious doubts about his trade value. If the asking price is a first round pick for a prospect+pick equivalent to that, if I was a GM you could kiss my ass with such request, I'm looking at other much less risky options - even if Petry finds his 2020-21 level.

He still old tho. And if Nill gives Bourque for him he should be fired immediately
