[TRADE] Petry to Detroit

[2014olympicgold]

To Detroit:
Petry (50% retained salary) Detroit will cover 37.5% of his deal, $2,343,750aav

To Montreal:
Conditional 2025 4th round pick (later of the Detroit or Boston pick)
Defenseman Gustav Lindstrom (38th overall in 2017)

Welp, looks like one more AHL season for Simon Edvinsson.
Another non-Yzerman draft pick out the door.

Petry at $2.35m looks mighty nice on paper.

(I'm starting to think Yzerman just wants $2m/$3m/$4m contracts on roster to show Mo Seider and say "See - look at what these D-men get... how 'bout we give you... $6m... that'll make you the highest paid D on our team by a LOT!!!")

The Petry family makes its triumphant return to the Detroit sports scene.

Petry to Oilers or Wings would be my guess.

Nailed it

Holy cow.
I can't believe I never thought that might be a thing.
He was the Tigers #2 pitcher (behind Morris) on their '84 World Series team.




Edit: From his Wiki... he grew up in Farmington Hills - same hometown as DeBrincat (& Cam Fowler).

Well I mean I absolutely love this considering he's coming in at almost $2 mil lower than Ghost and Chiarot and $1 mill below Holl. But it kind makes me hate Holl even more.

Also yes....Edvinsson, Wallinder and Johansson definitely on the Griffins this year.

mid vs mid honestly

Damn. There you go. Well I think this helps the Wings, but yeah, not great for Edvinsson owners....

i dont think he got much left in a tank for but for what they will pay is good add as a vet

Admittedly I don't know anything about Lindstrom, but I don't really get this from Montreal's perspective. Seems like basically a nothing burger for retaining the salary.

He was taken 1 pick before Jason Robertson in one of Holland's last drafts. Probably because his last name was LiNdstrom.....UGH

A pick and prospect is what they get.

A pick and prospect is what the get.

lol, yeah I can see that but the prospect doesn't seem all that promising and a 4th is pretty whatever.

Nice business for Hughes to dump hoffman for petry + a pick then dumping petry for another pick

[tweetdrivr]

Yeah reading up Lindtrom is a depth 6/7 guy - probably destined for Laval. But the other bit is Hughes traded Petry home, which is what he’s wanted for quite some time. Doing right by the player.
