I give it four years until the deal is really shit. I really don’t know how he is worth that much for 1 year, let alone 7!!
It’s not even the money. It’s the non movement clause. That’s why he didn’t sign with the Blues.....they wouldn’t give him one. They offered a limited NMC for the middle years but wanted protection in the last 4 years.
I love Petro and all but he’s always been on the outside looking in as far as being ‘elite’. He threw a great Cup run together where he played like a man on a mission but for most of his career he’s just been really good......not next tier.
His best days are behind him. He turns 31 in January.....his first three, maybe four years he will be ‘worth it’ (I guess) but after that this contract is a big turd for Vegas. Lots of miles on that horse.
I’m fine with turning the page on Petro. Frees up Faulk to play his natural right side again and he and Krug were team mates for the USA back in the day. It also will allow space for a younger D man to step in....we have a couple great young talented guys.
