Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

And maybe a small patch of Tom Wopat on the shoulders.

Don't be a H8ter now

Habs = PK²

PK Petry inked for 6 more years.

You know, the Oilers could use a guy like Jeff Petry on the back end...Wait, what?

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Hey! 54th overall picks don't grow on trees.

There's like a 10% chance that that pick plays 200 NHL games!! Mac-T likes those odds!!

After all both PKs were picked in the second round.

Well, who knows how much longer Markov will play, so Petry will be a more than adequate replacement once Andrei hangs them up.

As for the Oilers, who cares about defense, I'm sure Harvard_Oiler thinks that with the addition of McJesus, the Oil will score 410 goals next season.

I've always thought of Markov as really underrated. I think he takes a big load off of PK's (the real one) shoulders. I don't think Petry is in his league offensively but he's a very good player in his own right.

This is a pretty good signing in terms of term at least. Have to wait on dollar values but Petry makes the Habs blueline pretty damn good.

Yuck.

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Jeff Petry's new deal with Habs, $33 million over six years ($5.5 M AAV)

Edit:
Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Jeff Petry received a partial no-trade clause from the #habs.

Who wants to bet Edmonton is on the NTC list?

Maybe Sir Bennington will offer the same dollars and term to Cody Franson?

yeah, and by "partial" they mean the only team on the list is Edmonton!

Markov was vastly underrated. But he's lost a step, and will probably lose another this season.

Here's an interesting thought - Would a team of former Oilers beat the current Oilers team (and yes, you might as well throw McJesus into the mix) - Here's a list of former Oilers by position off the top of my head (I'll just list forwards as forwards):

Goalie: Dubnyk

Defense: Smid, Petry, Nick Schultz, Souray, Gilbert, Potter

Forwards: Hemsky, Horcoff, Gagner, Cogliano, Perron, Brodziak, Glencross, Arcobello

I'm sure I've missed some, but I think this group of guys could beat the current Oilers.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I like Petry, and the Habs got him for fair value, but they now have well over a third of their salary cap committed to 4 dmen consisting of one really good player, one good-but-declining player, a good player and an average one. And they still need to figure out how to score goals.

Carey Price deserves triple what he's making.

The cap hit on Petry is roughly the same as the cap hit for Duncan Keith for the bulk of the Petry contract - Man, the Hawks did a masterful job locking up Keith.

[Comeds]

Wow, never thought they could keep him. That solidifies things for years. I liked what I saw from Nathan Beaulieu and Greg Pateryn this season too. I think the defense looks really solid.

Now, how about some offense? Please?

Me too. I remember when he signed his first big deal most people were laughing because of the amount. Well the Habs really sucked then so a lot of people barely saw him. He was excellent for a large portion of his career, at least in my opinion he was. He is declining though, hopefully with decreased minutes he can finish his contract out without being a liability.

It probably should be added that Keith's contract was a cap circumvention contract to keep the cap hit down and wouldn't fly under the current CBA rules, but hey, the league approved it at the time.

And he'll only be 39 when it expires. It's a great deal all around.

only way we make any moves in UFA market is if we are dumping Higgins and Bieksa. I dont think we have the cap room to make any moves and sign RFAs.

Id be happy with ZERO moves but dumping players for draft picks and letting youth take over

I need to know whether or not Stoll is suiting up for either team before I lay down some coin on it.
