The Petry case is confounding and that's why it causes a lot of consternation here.

On one side you have the dynamic of supply and demand. There is literally nobody available on the right side of defence at a cheap cost after the Letang signing.

On the other side, no teams have the money to fit him in their salary structure besides 3-4 teams.

At this point you have to go by Hughes word and that is he is NOT retaining any salary in a trade, and he wont pay to move him. That clearly indicates without the return he demands, there is no deal.
We saw with the Islanders rumours that the 13th pick was available, and, indeed, traded to the Habs. Hughes didnt budge by trading Anderson which was reported by Seravalli and Lebrun as a monster ask above a high pick.

Petry wont be traded for any less than what Hughes demands. That is something that ppl should have learned here by now.
The same story happened with Lehkonen. Everyone here said they wouldnt get a 1st round pick in return. Hughes never waivered in his return requests and Lebrun had an entire article on theathletic dedicated to the process from the Sakic and Hughes sides.

Sakic didn't want to move a pick and prospect but it occurred.

Hughes with that whole ordeal and now the courageous selection of Juraj as the whole market was chanting for Wright, that shows that he will not be cornered, whatsoever.

For people not to learn by now that Petry wont be given away is borderline sociopathic and those ppl should be ignored.

Thread: getting prospects
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>Bourque probably got a 40% chance to make an impact at the NHL level - Petry had a rough year on a rough team with lots of issue with his family - he's usually a top 4 Dman who scored 40+pts in shorten seasons.

He's worth a good prospect like Bourque, however - I can understand why the Stars don't want to trade him</div></div>

Johnston and Stankoven are no gos. Bourque and Dell I’d be willing to move for a young top four D. Petry isn’t young. I have nothing against Petry and know how good he is. Giving away young cost controlled talent for old players isn’t a good idea unless we are legit contenders and we aren’t. I’m okay with the fact that Dallas needs playoff revenue to stay in business. I think we’re still a playoff team with some smart free agent signings. That doesn’t require moving prospects. And we finally have some good ones. I think trading for Bear and adding a forward makes this team better than a big Petry trade. Now and in the future. I sincerely appreciate your productive and respectful response
