Why Edmonton Trading Jeff Petry To Montreal Wasn't Actually THAT Bad After All | NHL Trade Trees 

Yea but who would you rather have MCDAVID or hall like come on I’m an hall fan but it a clear answer

@@thesilver1699 id say both but the oilers would be in cap hell by now

@@rockstermaniac yea we would

The real problem is that you guys didn't get to see Boyd Petry as an Oilers fan.

And if you didn't trade Hall, you wouldn't have had to sign Lucic to try to replace him that offseason. And if you wouldn't have signed Lucic, you would have enough money to sign Hamilton or maybe even Hall this offseason

It didn’t destroy it... He did screw us a bit

How many times did the Islanders screw Edmonton. PC always traded with the Islanders and always got screwed

Yeah man I’m for sure he intentionally tried to ruin the oilers and bury them into the ground

@@Mitch91PyroisB0SS No I believe he wanted to help but he was just a bad GM and other GMs knew he was bad and screwed him. Plus his ego got in the way he wanted to be known as the GM that made big moves but the thing with big moves you better have a plan cause it can screw a team badly. PC big move was to trade Hall for a right shoot D man. Okay fine but what’s the plan after that was the problem he made his move then had no plan. Before that traded the 2015 second 1st they had for god dam Rienhart. Instead of using it draft Barzel. Can you imagine Hall McDavid Barzel with Leon playing with Yamamoto and RNH top two lines be set. He also traded Gaggula away and Ebbs and Petrey and Schultz. Got rid of a fan favourite in Maroon that was playing pretty well for Edmonton and brought in Manning the guy that admitted to purposely breaking McDavids collar bone. He also signed MK to a dum contract hurting the cap space even more before he left he fired Todd who I liked as a coach even though we got Tippet who I also like but man the only positive I can think of is PC getting Leon and McDavid on nice friendly contracts. I think Ken done a better job with only one season under him isn’t that crazy and PC had 4 years. And oh sighed Lucic got rid of Hall to fill the spot with Lucic great move there

YES! I want to see OILERS FAN STEVE tear into Chia

Ya that tree is insane. Apparently even the trade for Jake Allen is part of it

Yesss!!

And the Sabres gets screwed with the Craig rivet trade

yessss pleaseee

Do it!!! Legendary trade tree

@Mario Paganini Nah

Yikes 😂

Ahah nah

I will never stop suggesting this until it happens

That should be a good one!

It ends in Nate Thompson to the Flyers

I have been asking for this trade forever!

The Nash and Gaborik trades are actually connected

Yeah, its a pretty big stretch.

Nah, the price for Talbot that off season was insanely high. The NYR has the excuse saying what he did when Hank left was a real good pull for them, there was a lot of teams that offered for him but they wanted to send him West if anything

Duck Kesler

And the Perry interference as well! The refs for 2 games let the Ducks play rugby with Talbot.

Not gonna lie I still think about it sometimes at night. I don't think I'll fully ever get over that series lmaoo.

I'm a habs fan and it shock me hahaha

But it was “the” lottery. Was that not enough?

The Petry deal wouldn't hurt so bad if we did end up with barzal 😑

Now has 2 points in 27 games

how mcdavids the best player in the world

@@Mattoilers97 the point is if we Montreal didn’t get petty there is no guarantee we get mcdavid

Definitely

@@Mattoilers97 mcdavid is not a direct result of the trade. that's how. the oilers didn't even finish last, they just got some draft lottery luck. so he doesn't count when evaluating the trade.

@@Mattoilers97 Sorry to STRONGLY disagree. Until McDavid wins something (anything) Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin are still the best.

Revisionist history at its finest. Edmonton fans never change.

Agreed. I don't know how anyone can look at this and think that Montreal didn't win this trade. Edmonton could have re-signed Petry. Hell, they could have done so, and also sabotaged their team another way to lose games and win the draft lottery. And they could have even found another way to trade for Talbot (who they then proceeded to trade to Philadelphia for Anthony Stolarz, who played in 6 games with Edmonton and won...none of them). And like you said, Talbot was only a decent goaltender in ONE season for the Oilers. So the only piece that really counts here is Caleb Jones, and I agree with you there too...he's a career bottom-pairing guy...if he had the tools to be more, we'd have seen flashes of them by now. Over the last 3 seasons, Petry has been a top-20 defenseman by points AND goals. And he plays the right side, which seems to be the more in-demand kind of d-man. Not just that, he also plays the powerplay, he plays a physical (but responsible) game, and he's been a clutch guy in the playoffs. A mediocre goaltender and a bottom-pairing LD do not balance out what Petry has been (and what he WILL be - he's still got at least 3 decent seasons left in him). Also...if Edmonton had kept him, they would NEVER have made the infamous Hall for Larsson deal. They could have kept Hall - after all, he still had 4 years left on his deal at $6 million AAV at the time they traded him, so he would almost certainly have been a player they could AFFORD to keep, and not risk cap hell, even considering they had to pay Petry $5.5 million (which was the deal he negotiated with the Habs). This is because McDavid and Draisaitl were both on ELCs for both 2015-16 and 2016-17, and McDavid's went until 2017-18...so they could have had THREE MORE YEARS of a team with McDavid, Hall, Draisaitl AND Petry, before maybe having to trade Hall (who, let's not forget, was a Hart-trophy recipient in 2017 with the Devils). Now THAT Oilers team would have been scary...imagine how well their 2017 playoff run would've gone with Petry and Hall on board. I think we can be assured that they'd have beaten the Ducks, and maybe even made it to the Cup Final. Years of observations have convince me that the Oilers management has NO CLUE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. None. Now this is slowly starting to change, but they wasted like, 5 years of McDavid's talent figuring it out. It's shameful.

@@joer8854 Revisionist for Habs. It took 3 years for Jeff Petry to explode in Montreal. At the time it was an okay trade. Don't think anyone expected Petry to blow up like did.

Most Oilers fans wanted to resign him although he probably wasnt that interested, so I dont know what your revising. and it was 2 great years for Talbot including an underrated 2017 season, when die hard fans were calling him the teams mvp

Exactly, but loudmouth schnook has to gin it up for clicks. SN needs to dump certain pieces starting with Dingle

"Sportsnet never does anything on team's besides the Leafs, do something about the Oilers." Sportsnet does an Oilers trade video Same fans: Fire everybody I hate You!

the argument he made was not about mcdavid, it was actually about talbot and how he became quite important later.

@@leo1fun I love wings fans because they are Leafs rivals and at the same time very reasonable for the most part when it comes to other teams including the Leafs. I know a ton of wings fans who are like, "Yo, I love going to Toronto and catching a game." They still talk about what the Leafs need but are mostly reasonable about it. I know a wings fan who said Babcock needs to go (before he was fired) then said they need a better right side D but the forwards need to be more defensively responsible. I thought about it and I knew about the defensive aspect but I argued against getting rid of Babs and didn't think the forwards were that bad at D. He was totally right.

@@joer8854 yep. Agreed about all of it. The wings actually have had mostly the same problem you're talking about (well, I think good right-handed Dmen are the most rare thing in hockey today for everyone), specially with the recent crop of forwards who were traded (Athanasiou, specially). And after them, the current forward group is just a mix of young talent which will be bad defensively with some random rebuild players.

Oh god. Oh why why why is the Sabres why why did someone say O'Reilly whatever happened to him I heard he won the Conn Smythe trophy and Stanley Cup

Hey, it’s still humming along for the Avs!

No 😂

He was part of the behemoth known as the Eric Lindros Trade tree already ;) ttps://ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mM7D2WTX2QA.html

@@sportsnet That was more of a documentary. ;)

@@awildermode if you want a documentary, convince him to do the neely/pederson trade. the pederson side is absolutely gigantic. sundin, luongo, and thornton are in it, for example. the neely side isn't small either, but more directly favors the bruins.

And could’ve drafted Barzal or I think maybe Chabot with that pick if he wasn’t taken already

Or for that matter start with the original saad to Columbus for anisimov, morin and some other bits

EVERY oilers defenseman has been doing exactly that for many years.
