Good contract. $6.25 million is a steal for a defenceman of his calibre. Complicates things with expansion, but oh well, at this price you do it. The videos of his kid alone are worth $5 million AAV.

I don't think Petry has had any major injuries and he is such a smooth skater that he won't deteriorate as quickly as others. Plus he loves Montreal and wants to be here. A good signing.

37. Only two years older than Weber is now. And six years younger than Chara is now.

We need to start big game hunting.

Who cares? It’s not like we’ve had even one 45-50 goal scorer for the past 30 years. If he was a UFA this year I’d take him. Even 2 or 3 years would go a long ways to improving our cup chances while price and a Weber are still elite. But I wouldn’t trade him. I can’t see the caps ever trading him either. There are already enough riots in USA cities for the franchise to trade the best player they’ve ever had. It would be like us trading Richard, or Edmonton trading Gretzky, Messier or Coffey - oh, scratch that. Savard refused to trade Lafleur in fear of the repercussions and even when he considered it, the only guy he considered was a for another Quebecer in Perrault.

Agreed ... hence "I wouldn't make that trade"
