Petry only gets considered if we have already moved Hronek. Otherwise, what would be the point? Even then, the contract term and amount are a stumbling block to overcome. We did pay a 2nd for Leddy, but he only had one year left, had a lower cap hit, and was younger. Petry, as has been pointed out, does not fit our timeline. To take on Staal, we had to be paid. Petry is better than Staal or Leddy, but also plays on the right and we don't have a need there. We had a desperate need on the left side when acquiring Staal and Leddy. IF we moved Hronek, I would be willing to talk, but I probably don't accept a trade for our 2nd in 2023. Maybe for Washington's 2nd in 2022.
If he was that easy to flip for a better return, then why even involve the Red Wings?
