mfitz804 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 3 minutes ago, Colorado Rockies 1976 said: If anything, you wonder if Petry was worth grabbing over just keeping Marino. Petry is 34 and the Pens signed up for his Age 34/35 - Age 36/37 seasons. Marino is obviously only 25 and on a lower hit. I get that Petry can provide more offense, but maybe his best years are already behind him? That is a better question, and somewhat more ponderous. Granted, I don't pay a lot of attention to other teams and had no idea who John Marino was when we traded for him, but if he played like this for them, one has to wonder why they would prefer a much older and more expensive Petry. Petry currently has two more goals and two fewer assists than Marino, with both sitting at 7 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, didn't know much about Marino but if you're gonna effectively trade one guy for a guy several years older (who entering decline-years territory) who's also more expensive, that guy better be a considerable upgrade, and a lock to make your team better immediately. Don't really see that being the case with Petry. Yeah, they did get Ty and a 3rd-rounder as "maybe later" assets, but AFAIC Marino can be both a right now AND later asset. It feels like a risk the Pens didn't really have to take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s probably a couple teams/fanbases pretty annoyed seeing him play so well right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Petry was traded to Montreal from Edmonton for a 2nd round pick in 2015...that pick was later traded to the Rangers, and then to Washington...who then used that pick to select...Jonas Siegenthaler. Soooooooo I guess [as I inhale a great big bong hit] we can thank Petry for an being an NHLer and for helping the Devils to land both Siegs AND Marino?! No waaaaaaaaaay...or do we thank Edmonton?!

He had a really bad first period and wasn't much better the rest of the game against the Yotes. Just hope he gets that first one soon, because I love everything else that he brings. Just needs to get the monkey off his back. The good thing with Haula is that he'll be fine. He's shooting the puck a lot and getting chances. Just can't convert on one. He's doing all the right things. Read an All about the jersey blog that went over how he's been incredibly unlucky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She ended up tweeting "Vitek Vanecek taking the bulk of the reps at #NJDevils practice today, which is a great sign." after so I am going to guess she said that he was taking the majority of the load.
