I get that all those Habs ACGM can be tiring for other fanbases, but there's 0% chance this year's 1st is dealt. Can't tell if it was a serious proposal or not.

That pick is currently first overall.

I just don't think Habs is going to deal that.

Really just showing Hab fans how illogical their statements are. If Petry really wanted to come to Detroit and it was mutual with Yzerman it would’ve happened before he signed his extension or ~7 years ago. It also goes against everything Yzerman has said so to answer your question a little both.

Petry was never a UFA. He was always extended prior to reaching UFA status. Also this trade doesn't make any sense since Arizona will have Carolina's pick.

I agree there are way too many Petry trades on here. His value currently is low but I love how people forget just how good he has been ovwr the past 3 or 4 years. The habs literally could have got the equalivant of two first round picks for him a year and half ago. He is still capable of being a stud again, yet people on here who probably have never watched him think he is the worst D in the league lol. Every Hab this year has been awful. Put him on a new team and you'll see just how good he can be again.

He resigned in Montreal because he wasnt getting that kinda term at his age as a ufa.

I'm pretty sure he chose the 1st because he knows it won't be traded. It emphases the point that these Petry to Detroit trades are out of control.

Petry could’ve walked to UFA there is nothing in the CBA that says he is obligated to re-sign with Montreal. If he truly wanted out why not just wait a couple months to sign with his preferred destination?

As for the trade, ACGM doesn’t have an accurate pick for Montreal so I chose the only first rounder available but clearly you can see why.

There is no guarantee moving him to another team will make him look back to form. He didn’t exactly thrive in Edmonton and he’s signed to a high dollar contract into his late 30s. He’s had some mileage based on his style and isn’t exactly known as a cerebral player that will age well.

Of course he could have went to UFA status, doesn't mean right now he wouldn't prefer to be closer to home since Covid started or since he signed his deal.

The trade still doesn't make sense then. Just a troll offer. Its going to be funny when the habs trade him for value lol. Dummies on here who have never seen him play are going to be confused lol.

Did I say there was a guarantee? However usually a player that was this good not that long ago and who just came off a very short offseason, dislikes the coach and is currently on a team thats so bad its hard to get motivated bounces back pretty quickly. I wouldnt be shocked at all if he regains his form quickly if/when traded. He isnt even playing that bad, just isnt putting up th pts we are used to. And btw he was pretty decent on Edmonton. Especially considering he had no one around him and the team was garbage.

He signed the deal knowing the Canadian Covid mandates and that the vaccine was underway with a schedule (warp speed).

Troll offer would be the “dummies” that offer Petry to Detroit on a constant basis. You can also bet all you want but there aren’t a ton of examples to say otherwise. He was bad in Edmonton, turnover machine and it’s funny how bad team = bad stats but that doesn’t apply to Hronek during our rebuild. Do I this he’s trash? No, like I said he doesn’t fit our core, we’re set at RHD, and there is risk of him in a new system.

How do you his mindset? He probably thought like the rest of us and assumed Covid wouldn't have lasted long.

Because people offer him on mock trades don't make them dummies. If they misinterpret his value one way or another
then they are. Relatively speaking. I'm not saying he is a fit on the Red wings or any team for that matter. Im saying people clearly don't understand his value and just say he sucks because its the cool thing to do on here.

And we was one of the brightspots on Edmonton. Forced to be a top pairing D with bad partners. He was developing into a very good D and just needed better pieces around him. Hronek is no different. He had a higher pedigree when drafted and was a better player at a younger age but he himself is nothing special. Decent second pairing D is good but thats what he is. He wasnt helping the Red Wings when they sucked for the last 4 or 5 seasons.

Anyone that is rationale understood it was similar to the flu which comes back year over year. This wasn’t a vaccine that magically eradicates Covid. I don’t want to assume Petry’s ideology but anyone researching where they want to live would know Canada’s differences especially Quebec for ex-pats. There’s dedicated websites/forums for this and anyone with a family are going to do their diligence (or ask anyone that’s played in the market). I’ve seen people even comment that his wife couldn’t adapt to the language barrier which is odd considering he signed an extension after living there for multiple years.

This ACGM is clearly about the Petry to Detroit ACGMs that are created at a high frequency. I’ve stated my reasons which are backed up by statements from Yzerman and the illogical claims from Hab fans on this board. Would he be a good fit for a contender, sure I could see that but nothing is appealing here for Detroit. As for his Edmonton time, he wasn’t anything special ask any Edmonton fan. Hronek didn’t have a “higher draft pedigree” you act like he was a top 5/10 pick and showed more promise than Petry in the same environment/age. It remains to be seen what Hronek’s finished product is but yeah he did help the Wings during that timeframe. He isn’t a generational talent that could drag a team to the playoffs but who said he was?
