As bad as Petry has been, keeping him at 6.25M just to be a roster player at that position is better off than trading him with 50%% retention for a nothing special return. If the Habs go full rebuild, they'll still need to reach the cap floor and have a couple high cost players on the roster to do that.
I'd be more interested in trading Petry for a cap coming back to offset his salary, than to retain money for little coming back. That way we can atleast keep the retention spot available for pending UFA's next year and years in the future.
