Trade: a big rumor has just been confirmed regarding Jeff Petry, and it's causing a huge reaction

You guess that it made a big reaction.

It raised a question.

Did Petry get convinced to waive his no-trade clause to go to Montreal?

The answer is no.

Why? Simply because, to everyone's surprise, sources have just confirmed that the CH was not even on the list of the 15 teams where Petry refused to be traded. The rumor was therefore true.

He therefore did not even have to give his consent.

It doesn't mean that he won't be traded again before the start of the season, but it clearly shows that he did not feel the need to put Montreal on his list.

It says a lot.
