ok, that's actually pretty compelling news. didn't know this

that is to say Petry still probably doesn't want to play for the tanking Sharks

I love that penguins fans are taking a comment by his wife of a luxury vacation destination being "one of their happy places" as a reason for him to to waive and go play his final two years in San Jose

hour and a half is also assuming there isn't traffic, which... ya good luck in the bay area.

Very interesting.

I love people on here that sound like they are Petry's agent or parent and know what his no trade list is. Don't get me wrong, it's logical 7 of them being the Canada teams, but he is American and back in states. We have no idea what American cities he prefers/doesn't prefer.

That Petry factoid made me chuckle. Still I feel like Karlsson isn't needed. I'd be very hesitant to trade for Karlsson because of his defensive performance and the Pens already have Letang in the Karlsson role

When he was traded to PIttsburgh he was pretty blunt about saying his desire is to play as close to his family in michigan as he can at this point in his career. They have kids in school, and would imagine they don't want to move them across the country.

So, i'm not his agent or parent, just using common sense when he's made that comment and has a 15 team NTC... like you said, 7 canadian teams are out, and with that information I would feel pretty confident saying the 3 CA teams, Seattle, Arizona, Vegas are out. That's 13, you could guess at the last two
