Stars decline. Value is decent, Petry's contract is not.

Should we try to fix our secondary scoring issue, we can't spend more than $4M to our 2nd pair RHD, preferably on a one year deal. Petry does not fit this bill.

You can get better value for Petry, even without retention.

Drouin needs to play before he has any actual value.

Regarding Weber, most people assume it’ll be a negligible return, or that it’ll actually cost the Canadiens something to get Weber off their books, but it’s really the opposite. Any team trading for his contract is doing so to reach the salary-cap floor, and any team trading to reach the floor is a budget team.

people say, “There’s only a total $6 million left in actual dollars to pay Weber over his remaining four years under contract, so a budget team can live with that,” but that’s actually wrong. No team acquiring Weber will be paying that $6 million, because his contract is insured.

Budget teams prefer paying zero. This is free cap space for any team that needs it, and the Canadiens might actually get a reasonable asset for it.

I would keep Petry tbh. The return is just not enough
