NHL Rumors: Montreal Canadiens – Jeff Petry and Ilay Kovalchuk

Sportsnet: There is a lot of talk around Montreal Canadiens’ defenseman Jeff Petry. He’s having a great season, and with the high asking price, he’s likely not going anywhere.

“I’ve just heard the ask is huge and I think most teams expect he’ll stay in Montreal because it’s a big ask. They recognize his value.”

Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: Believe that the Carolina Hurricanes really like Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry. The Canadiens though don’t really want to move him.

One source is saying it’s likely only about 5 percent that they trade him.
