Rumour: Two Teams Making a Push for Jeff Petry
In the trade that sent Erik Karlsson to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Montreal Canadiens acquired Jeff Petry.
Now, everything points to the fact that he'll be flipped before the next season.
Where will Petry End Up?
Petry's value on the market is high. If the Habs are willing to retain a part of his salary, any team that's capped by the cap should be interested.
Fortunately for Kent Hughes and the Canadiens, many teams are in that situation, making Petry a remarkable asset.
It's been reported that two teams are pushing to get him.
Two Contenders
Our colleagues at House of Hockey revealed that the Buffalo Sabres and the Dallas Stars are interested in the defenseman.
We can imagine them paying something like a late first-round pick or a couple of 2nds for him.
It's a lot for a player like Petry, who, at 35, isn't what he used to be. However, he can still bring a lot to a team with Cup aspirations.
