Sujet: Petry and Chara
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Popular narratives are mostly objectively and blantantly wrong. MTL would be hard pressed to retain that much for that long. But it is a good package and would be the type of package needed for them to do it. Very few right d options out there are actually upgrades for the Leafs and intrigue me. Petry half retained would be interesting :p. But HIGHLY unlikely.

And I would think Petry would waive for Toronto. Looking at the Leafs team, he would be going to a stanley cup contender. I am sure he wouldn't pass that opportunity.</div></div>

Petry isnt upset with Montreal because they suck, his wife has been very vocal about mandates. Any Canadian team would be a non-starter for him and his family.

Otherwise, yeah he would be a great fit in Toronto. And I wouldn't mind at all retaining, as you have provided assets for that retention.

Sujet: Giroux and Lehkonen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>Nobody has said anywhere on here, that I can recall seeing, that Lehkonen has no value. In fact it's been quite the opposite. The fact he doesn't have the value Habs fans think he has is an entirely different thing. When Avs fans tell you it's fair in an Avs trade post I can understand you baulking a little, same in a Dallas post or a NYR post. <strong>When neutral fans of pretty much every other team are telling you it's pretty fair value</strong> (and a few lucid Habs fans as well), you might want to think long and hard. Are all the Habs fans overvaluing him or is everybody else undervaluing him? I know which you're going to say in advance but that's where your delusions lie.</div></div>

This is fair, however some of the loudest mouths in these posts are Leaf fans trashing every single Habs player that sent their team golfing last year. Just something to keep in mind.

If insiders are saying the price for Lehkonen looks like a 1st, its only natural for Habs fans to demand the value of a 1st.

Sujet: Realistic Petry Trade Hopefully
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Here is why habs fans like myself believe Petry will bounce back.

1. He had a career year last year, I don't think there is a single player in the history of the league who has posted the best season of his career then fallen off a cliff due to age or whatever over the course of one offseason.

2. Listening to Hughes press conference yesterday about him trading Petry if there was a deal that worked for both sides, tells me that Petry is not disgruntled with the Habs or fallen off a cliff as many speculate but is dealling with many off ice issues that are wearing on him mentally. Having sent his family back to the states over the Christmas holidays, and dealing with injuries and covid restrictions and not seeing his family for going on two or three months has got to be more than a little depressing. Especially since in normal years his family spends the season in Montreal like Price's do, his sons call Gally uncle and they are adored by the team and staff.</div></div>

Yeah, its important to note that much of Petry's struggles or motivation might be linked to what his wife has been posting about online. Its clear their family is very much against the mandates in Canada, and Montreal having some of the worst. And maybe he has special treatment as a hockey player, his family still has to follow them. And when he gets home he still has to hear about them.

If his family was told to go back to the States, this is likely the reason. With no Weber or Price, Petry also sees Montreal's compete window being slammed shut, and likely wants to be moved to an American team that's contending.


I personally would be willing to retain 50% to make it happen, IF that means we get a decent return.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nate</b></div><div>Are you serious? This is such a freezing cold take. Knies was literally just named to the US Olympic Team, is having an unreal season in the NCAA, and has a style of play unlike any player I've watched in recent time. Niemela is second in LIIGA scoring for defenseman and 18th in the entire league AS A 19 YEAR OLD. Every player that has more points than Niemela in LIIGA is atleast 4 years older than him. I can understand an argument against Robertson considering his injury issues, but he has been extremely unlucky. Saying Knies and Niemela arent elite is blasphemy</div></div>

Knies makes Team USA when NHL, AHL and ECHL isn't going? Sean Farrell is going for Montreal, and nobody has him even in our top 5 prospects. Check out the names on those team lists... Either washed NHLers, Players that couldn't make the NHL, and a couple prospects. Good for them, but Its not like they are Owen Power or anything.
