The problem with the Petry trade was that if we still had him, we wouldn’t have had to trade Taylor Hall to replace him a year later...

Do an entire episode of Chiarelli screwing over Edmonton with bad trade after bad trade. A solid 4 bad trades in a row to destroy Edmontons present and future

That “we dont care, Jeff Petry rules” is so accurate lmao

As an Habs fan, all I have to say is thank you Edmonton!

The problem with justifying the Petry trade with the acquisition of Talbot is that it assumes that the trade for Talbot couldn't have happened using other picks.

The only reason it's a good trade for the oilers is because it made them a worse team and they won the draft lottery.

Habs defenitly win
@imperialaggron 3 years ago

Win win. We continue to love Petry, they continue to rake in assets.
@pachidermo 3 years ago

This is very true. As a Habs fan? Do not care. Jeff Petry rules. Jeff Petry freakin' rules.

MacTavish Trading away Jeff Petry led to Chiarelli blowing a 1st and 2nd on Griffin Reinhart. Keep Petry, draft any of Kyle Connor, Barzal, Aho, Chabot (hindsight 20/20). We then traded Hall for Larson after Griffin Reinhart didn't pan out.

that kesler goal still drives me crazy how in the hell does that count?

Jeff Petry now has 20 points in 21 games
@pierrepellerin249 3 years ago

So Petry, 5+ good seasons and counting for 1 good season of Talbot and a 6th or 7th D man. sounds like a pretty bad trade for the Oilers. Unless you figure they were gonna lose Petry for nothing if they hadn't made that trade. In that case, 1 season of Talbot is better then nothing.

This is a bit of a stretch not gonna lie lol

I think it’s ridiculous to try to insinuate that this trade played a significant roll in Edmonton landing Mcdavid. If you just look at the pieces involved Montréal absolutely destroys Edmonton in this trade tree, it’s not even close.
