Everything has already been said about the status and play of Jeff Petry. Ken MacMillan and I have already touched on the trade rumors here and here and it’s really just a matter of time in his case.

A 15 team no-trade list does limit the return for the once Norris Trophy candidate. However, despite being 34 and fresh off a new 4 year $25 million contract that began this season, there will be no shortage of interest even if he has completely checked out of Montreal.

His $6.25 million cap hit might force Kent Hughes to accept a bad contract in return in order to get a package involving picks and prospects.

Potential Suitors: Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Nashville
