marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Having Petry at already 50% off makes him a great TDL asset for next season. Also, please let this signal the end for Chiarot. Edited August 15, 2023 by marcaractac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,953 Report post Posted August 15, 2023 On 8/13/2023 at 11:20 PM, bIueadams said: Per Eric Engels of Sportsnet, on the Marinaro podcast, Buffalo and Detroit have interest in MTL's Jeff Petry. Michigan born, 35 yo, RHD, scored 31 pts in 61 games last year. Chris Johnston of TSN also says Dallas is interested, but would ask MTL to retain 50%. Return for Petry not expected to be big. Return will be greater if MTL retains. Lindstrom and a 3rd straight up? Petry has an NTC blocking him from going to any Western Conf teams Well hell Blue! You called this one. Except the pick.

Fun facts about Jeffrey: Born in Ann Arbor, but grew up around Commerce, MI. Played for Orchard Lake St. Mary's in HS. Then played for MSU in college. Still goes back to MSU to practice at Munn Ice Arena during the summers. Guy is probably darn happy to back in the mitten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bIueadams 776 Report post Posted August 15, 2023 Best part about this trade is Lindstrom is FINALLY gone. SY has managed to unload all the losers this year. Zadina terminated his own contract. Veleno not re-signed and told to f*** off to Europe. Lindstrom signandtraded. Masterful. Also want to point out again that we are likely going to see a Chiarot-Petry pairing. They were dope in MTL together and thats what got Chia traded for a 1st and his big contract here. Hopefully they can find that chemistry again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, in that case, you think Määttä is the one to go? Walman - Seider Ghost - Holl Chiarot- Petry LH-RH balance achieved. And Määttä the only defender with no NTC/NMC clause of any kind.
