Petry has 2-years left on his deal before becoming UFA at 33, Habs won’t be resigning him - this is the summer to deal him at peak value - would Philly give up their 11th OA + prospect (ex. Jay O’Brien) to find that missing partner for Provorov?
After all Flyers are in desperate win now / make noise in playoffs mode with the success of other Philly pro sports teams.
Would free up another $5.5M for MB to use on UFAs. IMO Mete will only continue to improve playing alongside Weber, Edler + Karlsson would make a very effective 2nd pairing, allowing Kulak & Juulsen to play 3rd pairing. While adding significantly to the Habs prospect depth.
Even though Habs didn’t make the playoffs, the stretch drive experience was important for the younger players, if the team had a PP QB they’d have qualified. Next season is about getting them actual playoff experience and pushing forward toward winning / learning what it takes to win in the playoffs.
I’m greedy, give me Karlsson, Edler, and a forward, and continue to force growth amongst the young players.
You're not greedy, your a masochist setting yourself up for heartbreak after MB brings in a 7th defenseman and a 3rd line winger.
