Thread: Young winger Temporary solution in net and question about Petry
Petry won't (or at least shouldn't) be retained. If that's something you want, I'd say he's not an option. Teams only have 3 retention slots at a time and should not use them for contracts with term beyond the following season.

What is an option, is sending back a player under contract who is not needed, in order to reduce the cap impact of the player acquired (Petry in this case).

If that player has value to the other team, it can count towards the acquisition cost as well.

Petry is in the range of a decent pick and prospect for a return. A player coming back to offset a portion of his cap is expected but not required.
Anywhere from a 1st and 2nd to a 2nd and a 3rd (or equivalent) is in range, depending on the quality of the picks/prospects offered and how it compares to other offers.

Top 4 RHD are a hot commodity. You can pay more for an arguably better one, or you can go to UFA for a lesser one with a high likelihood of getting bad value due to demand (if you get one at all). Depends if you think you're better off with a $6M Subban, $4M Savard, or $2M Pysyk, than a $6M (or less with cap offset) Petry.

Thread: LehkonenAllen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snipe52</b></div><div>Allen is only signed for one more year after this season. I am not as sold on Primeau being a #1 as most of the fan base. I think he’s 3-4 years away from being a solid backup.

We will have at least one high pick this year plus we have a few nice prospects in junior. I think we will be in major trouble if Price can’t play</div></div>

I am not sold on Primeau either but Dobes will be in Montreal in less then 2 season. He have progress in such way that he is probably in front of Primeau in the organization depth chart. He got size, extremely quick, and have tremendous puck awareness. He is the major reason Ohio state are rank so high. He get 40 shot over on a regular base and have been simply oustanding. Goergiev have been ok but i really doubt he is the solution to Montreal goaltending problem. Especially if you had to trade away Lehkonen to acquire him. Georgiev have been mediocre on a very very good team this year and have been average the past couple year before, can’t see how he would become suddenly great in Montreal with their hot trash defense
