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...

[@Kyle-kt9qr]

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

The Craig Rivet trade from Mtl to SJ

[@liam9616]

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

[@shalewarbringer7848]

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

[@seanhenderson5996]

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.

Marian Gaborik Trade Tree

[@pachidermo]

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

[@imperialaggron]

Win win. We continue to love Petry, they continue to rake in assets.

[@grahamvandervechte4876]

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

[@oliviergaudreau2733]

The trade tree’s expending with that petry trade

[@andrewmoulton7429]

This is a bit of a stretch not gonna lie lol

[@Habsfan1998]

Habs defenitly win

[@Chaseonfire]

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.

[@harmsm3]

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.

[@Flower-sq3gr]

Jeff Petry now has 20 points in 21 games

[@alexandrechaput1227]

Please do the complete Craig Rivet trade tree from Montreal to San Jose

[@pierrepellerin249]

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.

Add the Duncan Keith trade to this tree now

[@sportsmaster1364]

Oh dear God, not THAT clip... STEVE! I'm sending you the bill for my therapy from now on!
