A rebuilding Montreal gets 0 rebuilding pieces? Yeah Girard is definitely the best player by far but I think if Montreal sold all those pieces at a deadline, they would get quite a few high-round picks. So I guess it's what you value more but I don't think Montreal is looking to compete in that Girard window.

Ok but Montreal isn't cup contender so let's just get the best player out of the deal and keep him for the time being we're rebuilding. It's not a value problem, it just doesn't fit the timeline.

Thread: Petry and Chara

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Holl has been more effective than Petry this season. By a pretty wide margin. Weber made that Blueline so much better. I never gave him enough credit. That and price, and now without them, their whole defence can't handle it.</div></div>

On the Leafs team Petry won't be the number 1 guy like he is on Montreal. He would be the number 4 guy. He would be perfectly slotted. With Sandin and Holl being the bottom pairing. Holl has been solid since Christmas. Petry + Holl is stronger than Holl + Lily.

Isles that that and run.

As for the Habs trade, I know everyone thinks they do the same... but you have not paid for that 10M in retention. They won't expect you to pay for all of it, but you gonna have to pay for some of it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Haha that was my thought process when I decided to make this trade proposal. I Like Petry. I Don't like his contract.

I should now prepare for the wolves to eat my soul. **HIT SEND**

I didn't prepare well enough for that last part it appears. hahaha.</div></div>

To be fair to you, its a LOT for Toronto to give up, but we are also asking Montreal to retain a total of ~12 million dollars. It would cost a ton and you're value is probably close, but its just too much to give up for what Petry is. Theyre stuck with that contract

Thread: Petry and Chara

Petry has positive value regardless of the naysayers. How much is debatable.
Nobody is trading for this year's Petry. They are trading for next year's Petry with the hope he is more like last year's Petry.
Less of a risk than people make it out to be.

Even if there were no market, he still has value to Montreal. They don't have the luxury of throwing him away.
There is no Canadian market for him period. The only reason a move is being considered, is to get him closer to family by reducing exposure to covid restrictions. Until restrictions are relaxed in Canada, only US destinations make sense.

Montreal must be very selective with their usage of retention. They should only retain on one long term contract at most, in order to maximize returns on assets sold at the deadline or leveraged through 3rd party retention.
Until Price's situation is resolved, he should be the only long term retention possibility. For everyone else, cap can be managed through contracts coming back in trades.

Well, I didn't see the retention part, without retention, petry is supposed to get a 1st and good prospect ( 1st and 2nd) , so the the team obviously has to add more, (amirov, der argechunstev), then Ritchie and dermott is for cap space, now that I realize, it's pretty fair.

+1 for not going with the popular narrative about Petry on here.

It's a very good package, I just can't see Petry waiving for another Canadian team nor MTL retaining that much for TOR.

You're closer than most on the Avs deal, though I suspect they wouldn't be any more keen to move Helleson than Barron, especially if his stock rises with the Olympics.

Of course there will be at least one GM who can't read the room and will look foolish for giving Vegas a get out of jail free card.

For such a new team, it's remarkable how Vegas is constantly able to attract UFA's and make blockbuster trades with little resistance. They're playing on easy mode right now. Other GMs have to keep them in check and raise the difficulty.</div></div>
