Quoting: Caniac2000
He'd replace Weber on your top pairing when he's ready. He's been HANDS DOWN the best D man in the NHL this year, and he's only getting better. I don't think Montreal would get Bean AND a 1st for Petry
That's the rumor from Pierre LeBrun today:
"LeBrun avance que les Hurricanes pourraient offrir un choix de première ronde et le défenseur Jake Bean, un espoir, en retour de Petry. Selon LeBrun, Bergevin refuserait cette offre puisque son organisation ne considérerait pas Bean comme un défenseur de top-4 dans le futur."
I believe Bean is a solid prospect, but MTL will probably only move Petry for an overpay - this would fit with the costs we've seen in the last couple of days.
It's also the reason I don't think MTL will get rid of Petry, the Habs want to compete starting next season, so getting rid of Petry means they'll have to go after another RD this summer.
The only way he's moving is if a team overpays, so it comes down to how much of a push for the playoffs the Canes want to make
