A few moments after the announcement of the trade of Jeff Petry, from the Montreal Canadiens to the Detroit Red Wings, see what journalist Eric Engels posted.

Not that I think Kent Hughes will change everything by the start of training camp, but don't necessarily believe he's done. I think there's a chance he might trade DeSmith at some point. Not a guarantee, but a chance. - Eric Engels

Traded to the Canadiens as part of the mega three-team deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins and the San Jose Sharks, DeSmith is a 31-year-old American goaltender. In 134 games with the Penguins, he boasts a more than respectable save percentage of 0.912.
