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
@@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
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
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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.

I love these so much, they never fail to educate as well as entertain. I don't know if this would count as a trade tree or a trade forest (trade river?) but I'd love to see a trade tree for someone like Jarome Igninla or Jaromir Jagr, who's been traded a lot with all the subsequent trade activity but also primarily follows a single player through his career. I'd also really love to see Steve's take on things like how a single draft pick in 1979 led to the Stastny dynasty. A trade that begins with a player from in a country that no longer exists (Czechoslovakia) is almost sure to have an interesting ending. Also--is it just me or do certain teams just not appear very often in these trees? I'm a Pens fan so that one stands out for me, and if memory serves, I think the only major Pens presence was the tree for Phil Kessel. But I'm sure it's not just them--it feels like the Flyers don't get much face time either, except in the Eric Lindros and Jeff Carter trees. I'm not as up on the Western division but I don't think the Wild or Stars have a major presence either. I wonder if that's due to teams making deliberate choices as a part of a coherent trade strategy that just doesn't lead to interesting trading--for example, not trading away and then re-acquiring players a la Chicago. Or it might be more about who's available for trading; for instance, the Pens don't really have high-profile players that don't really lend themselves to trade trees. (The young star players the Pens drafted in the early-mid 2000s are mostly still with the team, and Fleury, as an expansion draft pick, wouldn't have a trade tree either.) I suppose it could just be that no one has a particular interest in certain teams, though not in the sense that they're biased. If you aren't familiar with some of the names in play, potential trades with meat on their bones just aren't on the radar. Regardess, I'm always curious about the creative process that goes into making these types of videos, so if there's ever a "behind the scenes" I hope they explore how and why they chose the trades that they did.
Steve seems really underwhelmed with Caleb Jones. I know that he's not a future superstar like Rasmus Sandin or Timothy Liljegren, but could very well become a solid top 4 dman.
I loved Cam in New York, he came up huge when hank got injured. Was so good i was surprised they didn't play him in the playoffs that year instead of hank
This is a massive reach calling this even. If we assume Petry resigns with Edmonton (decent possibility he would have) do they feel they need to go out and dump a mid 1st and high 2nd round pick on Griffin Reinhart on draft night? All of a sudden the Oilers would have still had the capital to acquire Talbot, keep Petry and avoid arguably the worst trade in Chiarellis tenure.
I was vocal from the get-go on why trading Petry was dumb. In the three years following that 2017 playoff run, they missed the playoffs twice in 2018, 2019, and you can argue they didn't make it in 2020 losing to Chicago in the play-in round. Why? Defense defense defense. It can be argued that the Petry trade started a whack-a-mole set of trades. To make up for the loss of Petry on the top right side, Chiarelli had to trade TAYLOR HALL for a right shot defenseman with Adam Larsson, who has declined year after year in the last three years. Sure, Chiarelli getting Andrej Sekera as a top left d-man free agent most certainly helped their 2017 playoff run but he wasn't a cost-effective long-term solution and I think was bought-out. So then after Hall was traded, Chiarelli signs Lucic to a fat deal, and then after 2017, Eberle was traded, and with Lucic's decline in production, everyone complained about there being no real scoring wingers for all the years since, save last season with Nuge and Yamamoto with Draisaitl (the REAL top line). So it seems your whole argument is that the Petry trade was a win because it helped tank the 2015 season to 4th last place allowed the hockey gods to gift Connor McDavid, which was followed by a non-playoff year, then finally with a decent goalie and the 2017 playoff run. But after that? No top scoring from the defense on the right side save some Ethan Bear last season has been a HUGE HOLE for the Oilers SINCE Petry. I'm sorry, but total luck in getting McDavid doesn't make up for that fact. Luckily, the Oilers have been percolating right side d-men like Bear and Bouchard and they'll only get better.
The oilers absolutely got fleeced, Talbot is not a reasonable return and petry is one of the most solid 2D in the league. Also the Edmonton GM even said it was one of his bigger mistakes so... bit of a stretch
Montreal won this trade... why try so hard to prove that Edmonton didn't lose this trade that bad? The only asset they still have is Caleb Jones, but c'mon Petry was the best piece in the deal. I've never seen a trade tree video before where they tried to show "well they didn't lose THAT bad:
Looking at where this trade tree stands now is fascinating. Caleb Jones was traded for Keith; who retired; and Tim Söderlund; who terminated his contract to play in the swedish league. Stolarz signed with the Ducks as a free agent. Meanwhile, Petry (along with Poehling) traded to the Pens for Matheson and a 4th in 2023.
"Sorry for the years of therapy undone showing that clip" ... You know what, I think this is the first time I laughed leading up to this clip. I also had the realization where we were going, and verbally said "Oh no" to no one, but... progress?
Hmm 2 good years of talbot and 1 playoff run or 6+ good years of petry and 2 playoff runs? and petry is still with montreal and a top 4 Dman. Ya sure I bet Oilers fans love that trade lmafaoooo...... I've seen Steve make some serious reaches but C'mon man this is laughable.Edmonton would be a MUCH better team with petry on there blue line now.To bad he's still a Hab lolol.
btw guys, before you talk about how montreal fleeced the oilers, petry just took a whole other step in his career after the trade, so try to keep his value in mind before the trade was made. Montreal won the trade for me as well, but it's not like they traded a perennial 40 point dman at the time.
The years of therapy I’ve had from that Kessler goal is a nightmare. Why did the NHL allow that, they also had an illegal goal against the flames too, I bet they paid the refs
@@Waders27 it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the refs two of the goals should’ve been called off their was the off side by Cam Fowler and the goalie interference by Kessler their is an argument to be made about Fowler but Kessler can’t be called a goal to send the teams into OT in the playoffs
Mtl still wins by a lot considering Talbot basically achieved nothing while there and started to go downhill, Jones could be good but he’s nothing more than a 3-4th dman rn so unless he really turns into a star Petry outweighs both jones and talbot
Looking at this trade right now, with how Talbot is the only recognizable name on the list that Edmonton got from this trade it’s hard not to say they got fleeced! Plus Petry has been consistent, could you imagine him playing right now with McDavid and Draisaitl, you’d be looking at the most points for a D-man consistently over the last two season. Not to mention look at the numbers he’s putting up right now! As a Habs fan, I love this trade and as an Oilers fan, thank God Chiarelli is gone lol
It funny how this guy is such a leaf fan. Montreal won this trade by a long shot. Edmonton screwball it again. If the Habs would have considered to traded Jeff petry this season because of his UFa status. The Habs would have received a boat load of assets
Spin this trade any way you want, the bottom line is still the same. Habs won this trade GOING AWAY. Not even close, but if you really really look closely at every single trade in NHL: history you can always find something positive to say about the team that lost the trade. . This one is a stretch though...
lol Petry is a great puck moving d man. Definitely better than anything Edmonton has right now. I don't see how you can say that it wasn't a bad move by Edmonton.
It's harder to prove something as random as winning the lottery was helped by a tank trade, but it may have helped get EO get McDavid. Regardless, it's a good point you make on the complexity of trades. Moves to set up moves have to be considered in total. Kinda of the big deal of trade tree.
I normally can't stand the videos of this Leafs fan but you known what? I'm having a good day and this was pretty entertaining. Might give the guy another chance after all!
The separate Nash and Gaborik trades between NYR and CBJ could be connected into one huge tree because one guy was involved in both. Could be interesting even though he's not the main piece
1 good year is not enough to make it an even trade, Petry has been the cornerstone for that defense since 2018. It’s the same argument when Halak and Price were fighting for the number one spot. One great year does not make you a great player and one good year does not make this trade a good one. Edmonton got ripped.
man i absolutely love your videos and love that sportsnet hired you. i rarely comment on anything but its just... "you cant have your cake and it it too" is backwards. Because you can have a cake and then eat it. the saying is trully "you can't eat your cake and have it to" because the second you eat your cake you no longer have it.
Tanking for a player is generally not beneficial because it hurts the franchise overall. You lose fans, which loses money for the team, and the player you get from tanking isn't guaranteed to pan out...
You’re wrong, it was a failure. It was a failure then and a failure now. They traded their best defensive right shot defenceman who had played less than 300 games in the league for futures that turned into nothing then leaving them with a hole on the right side to be filled by none other than Adam Larsson. Who’d they give up for Larsson again?
It's a bad trade for the Oilers because since they traded him, they had get a good defencemen so they traded Hall for Larsson. Then they wanted to find a good replacement for Hall so they signed Lucic. And that was a horrible contract
Okay...so the Oilers got 2 seasons of decent play by Talbot, followed by mediocrity. And then Talbot got traded for Stolarz, who didn't do anything good in Edmonton. Two bad goalies, one of whom was a decent workhorse for a couple years. Not all that impressive. And they got Jones, who may turn into an okay defenseman...some day (but he's probably a career bottom-pairing guy at best). Montreal got...a defenseman who scores goals, is an incredible passer, is great on the powerplay, isn't afraid to use his body to win puck battles, and who has missed all of 33 games due to injury or illness over the 5 full seasons he's been with the team (I consider the games missed due to CoViD to not count, because EVERYONE missed those games). Petry has been a revelation for the Habs - he was even Mr. Clutch in the playoffs a couple times in the weird playoffs of 2020, scoring 2 game-winning goals. And now that he's been re-signed, Petry will almost certainly retire a Hab (unless they do what Edmonton did and flip him for picks in the last year of his next contract, which ends in 2025). He's played 385 regular season games with the Habs now, and even if he's traded at the deadline in 2025 (at 37 years of age), he will exceed 700 regular season games (barring serious injury issues). Honestly, while this trade isn't as lopsided as it first appears (given how great Petry became, and how Edmonton really didn't get much out of Talbot, with Jones still a massive question mark...it appears VERY lopsided), it's still a huge win for Montreal. Because unfortunately, Connor McDavid is NOT a part of the trade. He just isn't. Stripping your team down to a few over-the-hill veterans and a bunch of AHLers in an attempt to lose as efficiently as possible is a viable strategy, sure (or at least it used to be - and I still think the NHL should have had the foresight to change the draft lottery rules BEFORE the McDavid/Eichel draft, so that tanking was much less profitable), but you can't say that any one of those players you traded was the difference between last place or not...or the difference between winning a draft lottery or not. Because anyone can ruin their team and lose all of the games. It's not a part of this trade.

I love these so much, they never fail to educate as well as entertain. I don't know if this would count as a trade tree or a trade forest (trade river?) but I'd love to see a trade tree for someone like Jarome Igninla or Jaromir Jagr, who's been traded a lot with all the subsequent trade activity but also primarily follows a single player through his career. I'd also really love to see Steve's take on things like how a single draft pick in 1979 led to the Stastny dynasty. A trade that begins with a player from in a country that no longer exists (Czechoslovakia) is almost sure to have an interesting ending.
Also--is it just me or do certain teams just not appear very often in these trees? I'm a Pens fan so that one stands out for me, and if memory serves, I think the only major Pens presence was the tree for Phil Kessel. But I'm sure it's not just them--it feels like the Flyers don't get much face time either, except in the Eric Lindros and Jeff Carter trees. I'm not as up on the Western division but I don't think the Wild or Stars have a major presence either. I wonder if that's due to teams making deliberate choices as a part of a coherent trade strategy that just doesn't lead to interesting trading--for example, not trading away and then re-acquiring players a la Chicago. Or it might be more about who's available for trading; for instance, the Pens don't really have high-profile players that don't really lend themselves to trade trees. (The young star players the Pens drafted in the early-mid 2000s are mostly still with the team, and Fleury, as an expansion draft pick, wouldn't have a trade tree either.) I suppose it could just be that no one has a particular interest in certain teams, though not in the sense that they're biased. If you aren't familiar with some of the names in play, potential trades with meat on their bones just aren't on the radar. Regardess, I'm always curious about the creative process that goes into making these types of videos, so if there's ever a "behind the scenes" I hope they explore how and why they chose the trades that they did.
Oh dear God, not THAT clip... STEVE! I'm sending you the bill for my therapy from now on!

Lol watchign this after the Duncan Keith trade
Add the Duncan Keith trade to this tree now
No 😂
Steve seems really underwhelmed with Caleb Jones. I know that he's not a future superstar like Rasmus Sandin or Timothy Liljegren, but could very well become a solid top 4 dman.
I loved Cam in New York, he came up huge when hank got injured. Was so good i was surprised they didn't play him in the playoffs that year instead of hank
Who did it better?
How long before you'll revisit a trade tree? This one continues on both sides.
Montreal isn't complaining
Well...... i need to get my therapist again.
This is a massive reach calling this even. If we assume Petry resigns with Edmonton (decent possibility he would have) do they feel they need to go out and dump a mid 1st and high 2nd round pick on Griffin Reinhart on draft night?
All of a sudden the Oilers would have still had the capital to acquire Talbot, keep Petry and avoid arguably the worst trade in Chiarellis tenure.
And could’ve drafted Barzal or I think maybe Chabot with that pick if he wasn’t taken already
4:46 he looked like it at the start of the season, still, demon Petry has been our best blue liner all year, thanks Oilers!
I was vocal from the get-go on why trading Petry was dumb. In the three years following that 2017 playoff run, they missed the playoffs twice in 2018, 2019, and you can argue they didn't make it in 2020 losing to Chicago in the play-in round. Why? Defense defense defense.
It can be argued that the Petry trade started a whack-a-mole set of trades. To make up for the loss of Petry on the top right side, Chiarelli had to trade TAYLOR HALL for a right shot defenseman with Adam Larsson, who has declined year after year in the last three years. Sure, Chiarelli getting Andrej Sekera as a top left d-man free agent most certainly helped their 2017 playoff run but he wasn't a cost-effective long-term solution and I think was bought-out.
So then after Hall was traded, Chiarelli signs Lucic to a fat deal, and then after 2017, Eberle was traded, and with Lucic's decline in production, everyone complained about there being no real scoring wingers for all the years since, save last season with Nuge and Yamamoto with Draisaitl (the REAL top line).
So it seems your whole argument is that the Petry trade was a win because it helped tank the 2015 season to 4th last place allowed the hockey gods to gift Connor McDavid, which was followed by a non-playoff year, then finally with a decent goalie and the 2017 playoff run. But after that? No top scoring from the defense on the right side save some Ethan Bear last season has been a HUGE HOLE for the Oilers SINCE Petry. I'm sorry, but total luck in getting McDavid doesn't make up for that fact.
Luckily, the Oilers have been percolating right side d-men like Bear and Bouchard and they'll only get better.
This is my fav series on RUclips
kind of a stretch
That Gustafsson comment at 12:06 had me rolling on the floor lol!
Brian Burke would like to talk to you regarding "dirty liars" lol
Hey steve you need to update your trade tree, some updates today
The oilers absolutely got fleeced, Talbot is not a reasonable return and petry is one of the most solid 2D in the league. Also the Edmonton GM even said it was one of his bigger mistakes so... bit of a stretch
keep up the trade trees! they are so interesting to see how the picks, and trades work out few years down the road
Caleb Jones is also very promising
Montreal won this trade... why try so hard to prove that Edmonton didn't lose this trade that bad? The only asset they still have is Caleb Jones, but c'mon Petry was the best piece in the deal. I've never seen a trade tree video before where they tried to show "well they didn't lose THAT bad:
As a Habs fan, I'm quite happy with Jeff Petry but it's interesting to look at it from the Oilers perspective.
Here after they traded Caleb jones
Here I am, with Jeff Petry leading Dmen in points
Looking at where this trade tree stands now is fascinating.
Caleb Jones was traded for Keith; who retired; and Tim Söderlund; who terminated his contract to play in the swedish league.
Stolarz signed with the Ducks as a free agent.
Meanwhile, Petry (along with Poehling) traded to the Pens for Matheson and a 4th in 2023.
And now they turned Jeff Petry into Caleb Jones and then into Duncan Keith!
I’d like to see a trade tree starting from the Kent Nilsson for Joe Nieuwendyk trade between The North Stars and Flames.
"Sorry for the years of therapy undone showing that clip" ... You know what, I think this is the first time I laughed leading up to this clip. I also had the realization where we were going, and verbally said "Oh no" to no one, but... progress?
Think of this now with the Keith trade: by trading away Jeff petty, the oilers would go on to trade for Duncan Keith.
And now you can add......
Duncan Keith to the Edmonton side
*yikes*
UPDATE THIS PLEASE!!! With petry getting flipped for Mike Matteson to Pitt and Caleb Jones getting traded in the Duncan Keith deal!!
June 2021 disagrees with the message of this video.
Siegenthaler, not a bad pick
Wayne Gretzky trade tree
IT'S COMING!
@@sportsnet hype🤩
@@sportsnet if you want a 3 hour video, do the neely/pederson trade.
This aged well
Oop, in hindsight the ending didnt age quite so well huh? Oilers swept first round and the habs are in the finals
Hmm 2 good years of talbot and 1 playoff run or 6+ good years of petry and 2 playoff runs? and petry is still with montreal and a top 4 Dman. Ya sure I bet Oilers fans love that trade lmafaoooo...... I've seen Steve make some serious reaches but C'mon man this is laughable.Edmonton would be a MUCH better team with petry on there blue line now.To bad he's still a Hab lolol.
petry>mcdavid????? lol
btw guys, before you talk about how montreal fleeced the oilers, petry just took a whole other step in his career after the trade, so try to keep his value in mind before the trade was made. Montreal won the trade for me as well, but it's not like they traded a perennial 40 point dman at the time.
The years of therapy I’ve had from that Kessler goal is a nightmare. Why did the NHL allow that, they also had an illegal goal against the flames too, I bet they paid the refs
Yep I don’t get it either
Blowing a 3-0 lead with 4 minutes left shouldn't happen either.
@@Waders27 it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the refs two of the goals should’ve been called off their was the off side by Cam Fowler and the goalie interference by Kessler their is an argument to be made about Fowler but Kessler can’t be called a goal to send the teams into OT in the playoffs
Mtl still wins by a lot considering Talbot basically achieved nothing while there and started to go downhill, Jones could be good but he’s nothing more than a 3-4th dman rn so unless he really turns into a star Petry outweighs both jones and talbot
This adhd guy is crazy , i have the feeling of watching a toy unboxing chanel with him
What about doing the Panarin for saad deal in 2017?
Or for that matter start with the original saad to Columbus for anisimov, morin and some other bits
This is like a car accident, bringing back my PTSD from that playoff run but i cant look away. Great vid.
Looking at this trade right now, with how Talbot is the only recognizable name on the list that Edmonton got from this trade it’s hard not to say they got fleeced!
Plus Petry has been consistent, could you imagine him playing right now with McDavid and Draisaitl, you’d be looking at the most points for a D-man consistently over the last two season. Not to mention look at the numbers he’s putting up right now!
As a Habs fan, I love this trade and as an Oilers fan, thank God Chiarelli is gone lol
Dangle: "Leafs are a dynasty/juggernaut!! We're only missing Weber, Gallagher, and Petry!! (SCREAMING)"
It funny how this guy is such a leaf fan. Montreal won this trade by a long shot. Edmonton screwball it again. If the Habs would have considered to traded Jeff petry this season because of his UFa status. The Habs would have received a boat load of assets
Spin this trade any way you want, the bottom line is still the same. Habs won this trade GOING AWAY. Not even close, but if you really really look closely at every single trade in NHL: history you can always find something positive to say about the team that lost the trade. . This one is a stretch though...
I was at that game 7 against the ducks. Ducks fans were dumb chanting USA USA USA. Pretty embarrassing
Steve, do you do updates? Petry is now in Pittsburgh.
lol Petry is a great puck moving d man. Definitely better than anything Edmonton has right now. I don't see how you can say that it wasn't a bad move by Edmonton.
It's harder to prove something as random as winning the lottery was helped by a tank trade, but it may have helped get EO get McDavid. Regardless, it's a good point you make on the complexity of trades. Moves to set up moves have to be considered in total. Kinda of the big deal of trade tree.
I normally can't stand the videos of this Leafs fan but you known what? I'm having a good day and this was pretty entertaining. Might give the guy another chance after all!
The separate Nash and Gaborik trades between NYR and CBJ could be connected into one huge tree because one guy was involved in both. Could be interesting even though he's not the main piece
Never thought I’d see Ben Scrivens ever again but I miss that man in LA.
did Katz pay you some money to try and make this trade a positive? Lol
How about one for a Sharks fan miserable over loosing Jumbo? I'd love to feel good and hear about the Brent Burns trade from the Wild
And this year Petry has 42pts in 55 games, he really gets better with time
Haven't watched - yet - pretty pumped to, that's Steve Dangle
If trading Petry accomplished nothing else but to help them get McDavid, it would've been worth it
1 good year is not enough to make it an even trade, Petry has been the cornerstone for that defense since 2018. It’s the same argument when Halak and Price were fighting for the number one spot. One great year does not make you a great player and one good year does not make this trade a good one. Edmonton got ripped.
man i absolutely love your videos and love that sportsnet hired you. i rarely comment on anything but its just... "you cant have your cake and it it too" is backwards. Because you can have a cake and then eat it. the saying is trully "you can't eat your cake and have it to" because the second you eat your cake you no longer have it.
Tanking for a player is generally not beneficial because it hurts the franchise overall. You lose fans, which loses money for the team, and the player you get from tanking isn't guaranteed to pan out...
You’re wrong, it was a failure. It was a failure then and a failure now. They traded their best defensive right shot defenceman who had played less than 300 games in the league for futures that turned into nothing then leaving them with a hole on the right side to be filled by none other than Adam Larsson. Who’d they give up for Larsson again?
some schlub who has the draft lottery voodoo.
You were spot on for the Habs fan reaction :P Still like your videos a lot ! Keep it up steve :)
In terms of "who got the best player" Petry tilts that scale
In terms of "who won the trade" it's much more even
Jeff didn't want to resign with Edmonton so the trade made sense. I love him as a Habs but Edmonton did not do too bad either. Thanks Steve
i dont comment often, just wanted to say nice video, i enjoyed it!
It's a bad trade for the Oilers because since they traded him, they had get a good defencemen so they traded Hall for Larsson. Then they wanted to find a good replacement for Hall so they signed Lucic. And that was a horrible contract
That's bull crap ! If petry was still in Edmonton they would've been a playoff team !!! It don't get more costly than this
Canadiens won
Okay...so the Oilers got 2 seasons of decent play by Talbot, followed by mediocrity. And then Talbot got traded for Stolarz, who didn't do anything good in Edmonton. Two bad goalies, one of whom was a decent workhorse for a couple years. Not all that impressive. And they got Jones, who may turn into an okay defenseman...some day (but he's probably a career bottom-pairing guy at best). Montreal got...a defenseman who scores goals, is an incredible passer, is great on the powerplay, isn't afraid to use his body to win puck battles, and who has missed all of 33 games due to injury or illness over the 5 full seasons he's been with the team (I consider the games missed due to CoViD to not count, because EVERYONE missed those games). Petry has been a revelation for the Habs - he was even Mr. Clutch in the playoffs a couple times in the weird playoffs of 2020, scoring 2 game-winning goals. And now that he's been re-signed, Petry will almost certainly retire a Hab (unless they do what Edmonton did and flip him for picks in the last year of his next contract, which ends in 2025). He's played 385 regular season games with the Habs now, and even if he's traded at the deadline in 2025 (at 37 years of age), he will exceed 700 regular season games (barring serious injury issues).
Honestly, while this trade isn't as lopsided as it first appears (given how great Petry became, and how Edmonton really didn't get much out of Talbot, with Jones still a massive question mark...it appears VERY lopsided), it's still a huge win for Montreal. Because unfortunately, Connor McDavid is NOT a part of the trade. He just isn't. Stripping your team down to a few over-the-hill veterans and a bunch of AHLers in an attempt to lose as efficiently as possible is a viable strategy, sure (or at least it used to be - and I still think the NHL should have had the foresight to change the draft lottery rules BEFORE the McDavid/Eichel draft, so that tanking was much less profitable), but you can't say that any one of those players you traded was the difference between last place or not...or the difference between winning a draft lottery or not. Because anyone can ruin their team and lose all of the games. It's not a part of this trade.
