<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Racki</b></div><div>Swap OEL pair with Hughes, that's fine. I think Zadina could use a season or at least half in the AHL, just my opinion</div></div>
I've gotta tell you that dropping Zadina to the AHL is a <em>bad</em> idea. His game lives and dies off of his confidence, and I'd say getting traded and then immediately dropped to the AHL for an entire season is one of the most demoralizing things a player can go through, especially a player like Zadina who's already spent multiple seasons exclusively with the big club. There's a chance it pays off, but it'd have to be a quick stint to let him score a bunch and get more confidence in his shot. Keeping him down there for an extended period of time would be crushing to his development IMO.

Nice to see he's finally getting up to speed. With the time lost it'd be a miracle if he won the Calder this year, but at least he's making a case after we thought he was down and out earlier in the season.

Thread: Petry Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Burnout</b></div><div>Right, because going extreme always makes things better on the internet.

Plus, the worst offenders among Montreal fans spent the last 4 months being told:

-Chiarot will never return a 1st, let alone a Savard return.
-Kulak is only worth a late round pick.
-Lehkonen isn't worth a 1st/1st round prospect plus more.

They're certainly not going to stop now when the consensus from other fanbases on Habs players here was so woefully off the mark.</div></div>
I still agree with all of those valuations. NHL GMs can buy players for whatever price they want, I'll still say they overpaid if they're paying a 1st for a guy I'd value at a 2nd. Everybody agrees that Hughes pulled off a legendary trade deadline by getting those returns for those players. If they were really worth those high prices, wouldn't it just be a meh deadline where the Habs got decent value for their assets? Props to Hughes for getting those trades done at those prices but it doesn't change the value of the players in my eyes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Perhaps you guys should read the rumors before you claim Detroit doesn't want Petry. Obviously you guys don't want Petry but management is rumored to be interested in getting him, they would prefer him at a cap hit of around 5 Mil but there is still interest there. See articles below.

1. This is ACGM, not Detroit's front office forums. Wings fans have collectivized around the idea that Petry shouldn't be traded to Detroit and we're spewing our opinion, not whatever the front office thinks on the matter. We don't know what's inside Yzerman's head, and while we can guess, it doesn't mean much when the opinion ultimately comes down to ourselves.
2. I honestly don't give a single ounce of legitimacy to any rumor that doesn't come directly from an insider's mouth. Every player has been connected to every franchise at some point, and it doesn't mean teams are actually planning on trading for them.

Thread: Petry Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Burnout</b></div><div>Sure, but lets not pretend Johansson, a 2nd, and a 4th is a more ridiculous ask than a potential lottery 1st and a 2nd to take on Petry. Petry is still an above average defender even with the hellish season he's had, and most of his struggles appear to be related to Ducharme's awful coaching and off ice challenges. He hasn't lost his skating/ mobility and his decision making isn't any slower. The idea that he's suddenly the most expensive cap dump in NHL history by orders of magnitude is indefensibly ridiculous.

And lets not pretend that ANY of us actually know what our favourite team's GM will actually do, most people here wouldn't know what a fleece actually was if they were wearing it.</div></div>
Yeah, I don't think Petry would cost this much to get rid of even if he was a cap dump, I see this more as a statement to Habs fans from Wings fans telling them to stop trading Petry to Detroit for unreasonable prices over and over again
