To the surprise of no one, the Oilers have let Jeff Petry walk. They made up their mind on this player years ago and everyone knew it was just a matter of time. As insult to injury, MacTavish received less for his best defenseman in trade than Philly did for a 39 year old who hasn't played for a year. Because Oilers. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/K7itQOk.jpg) So let's ask ourselves: How many teams will happily put in the effort and time to develop a legitimate top 2 or top 3 defenseman in the NHL and then let him walk away just as he is entering his prime years? Not many. But, when people are asking why this team is so horrible and why they can't seem to get any better, this is the kind of stuff they need to remember. This team makes bad decisions and continually assures us that they will never be better. We hoped for the best, but it turned out like always. Petry is going to be great in Montreal. They have picked up a hell of a player. | ||

I'm kind of surprised that's all the Oilers are doing though. There were rumors that Ferrance was being talked about a lot and if so why the fuck wouldn't you just give him away to the first taker. Too much $$ for a 3rd pairing possession black hole | ||

The Oilers are too busy trading useful players to bother approaching a overage, ineffective Andrew Ference about his willingness to be moved. Because Oilers. edit: Apparently he does have an NMC. | ||

It's probably bs because The Hockey News is seriously awful these days but they were reporting that the Wings are looking for a RHD but have interest in Phaneuf even though he's a leftie... and they'd ship Weiss and Brendan Smith. Idk why you'd want Phaneuf at that hit to play offside when the Caps probably priced themselves out of Mike Green by getting Orpik. Green's 10x better also ![[image loading]](https://twitter.com/JE_Iannicello/status/572410254610153473/photo/1) https://twitter.com/JE_Iannicello/status/572410254610153473/photo/1 | ||

also the blues got Michalek who is pretty good. Micahlek is one of those few cases where 'defensive defensive' doesn't mean immobile pylon. I didn't really think they needed one, but looking at the roster again I guess it makes sense. tyler kennedy getting moved for a third seems high given his lack of production these past few years, but jesus it makes that crazy islanders forward depth even better in the bottom 6 | ||

Still they needed to get something better than that yea? At this point, yeah, it was about mitigating damage. But many fans and followers have been crying for the team to lock him up long term for yeeeeaaaaars in order to avoid this but the Oilers have never shown any interest in the player, despite his being a rare positive point on an awful team. Go flames! | ||

Blues traded Ian Cole to the Pens for Fucking Bortuzzo and a 7th. That's an awful trade. Cole has been underused and misused in STL, often playing offside on the third when they actually do play him. He has good upside as a puck moving defensemen if used right. Bortuzzo is just useless shit aside from running people. | ||

We also may have traded our glorious dancing hotdog. Unfortunate, as the Avalanche desperately needed a defenseman, but whatever. | ||
