According to the information reported by the journalist Dan Kingerski, of the media Pittsburgh Hockey Now, which was also reported by TVA Sports, Jeff Petry could be about to leave Pittsburgh, in the next few days.

Obviously, the experience of the latter will not have been a success for the Penguins, while the former Canadiens would have been placed on the market of the exchange, by his organization.

"I can confirm that he is indeed available (on the trade market)!"

- Anonymous Western team executive

Just a few months after landing with the Penguins, it was a big slap in the face for the 35-year-old American, who failed to live up to expectations.

Petry still had 19 points in 40 games this season, but he was the target of many criticisms, many of them related to his shortcomings in the defensive zone. Even if you change teams, you can't change a player's flaws.

Remember of course that he was traded in July, along with Ryan Poehling, in exchange for Mike Matheson and a fourth round pick in 2023.

Petry earns $6.25 million per year, until 2025.

A case to follow.
