Thread: Petry
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div><strong>Why are you sp intent on getting Petry? </strong>

He is not going to help Detroit win a cup, he'll be retired long before that is going to happen. The only thing Petry will do for Detroit is cost us 9 million in cap that we could much rather use to resign Seider, Raymond, Rasmussen, Johansson, and Berggren. What if Perron would like to stay another year, he'd be a much better player to spend cap on than Petry. Or what if Sprong keeps his scoring up? Are we going to drop him just because all our cap is tied up in a 36 year old defender? We have Tuomisto, Sandin Pellikka, Johansson, and Gibson as RD prospects that are going to be the players that, together with Seider, are going to be the right side defenders that we are going to win a cup with, Petry isn't in those plans and he doesn't help this team achieve that goal.

We already have 7 defenders on the team (8 if you count McIsaac). Lindström is the obvious choice for our #7 to sit in the press box. If you trade him away for Petry you will have to sit one of the others. Are you going to sit Gostisbehere? Or Petry? or Määttä, our best defensive defender last season? Or Chiarot, who have three years left on his contract? That'll raise his trade value. Or are you going to sit Holl, who we just signed to a three year deal? That will sure make all future free agents take notice.</div></div>

I made made 1 ACGM because Petry to Detroit is trending. It's not like I go to sleep at night in my Petry jammies.

If you look at my lines you'll see that I put Chiarot up front, a role I think he is better suited for and frees up a spot for Edvinsson on the left side.

Holl did just sign a 3 year deal but if I've learned anything from a lifetime of being a Wings fan it's that injuries will happen early and often. Having a veteran who can step up in the position that we have the least organizational depth is a good thing, not a bad one.

Thread: Sure Why Not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>I really don’t see why pitsburgh does that trade.

They can just move petry next year with retention and maybe get some value or they can buy him out or they can just wait for his contract to expire as it is only 2 years.

Chariot is easily a worse contract as it is longer term and about 1.75 mill more then what he deserves, id say petry is worth the extra 1.5ish mill.

Pitsburgh is also more in need of a RHD then LHD, and if the rumours are true that karlsson is most likely heading to pitsburgh, petry will be a much easily sell to them then chariot just due to term.

But either way I doubt either dman waives the NMC for San Jose just because both probably want to be on a competitive team</div></div>

Some Pittsburgh fan posted that exact trade, so I figured it made sense for them somehow.
