Don’t expect Jeff Petry to be a member of the Edmonton Oilers beyond March 2.
There is no expectation that Petry and the Oilers will come to terms on a contract extension and other teams would be shocked if Petry isn’t moved before the 2015 NHL Trade Deadline, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
The 27-year-old, who has a $3.075-million cap hit and becomes a UFA in the summer, is a quality puck-moving defenceman who can jump into the rush and log 20-plus minutes a game.
Petry is currently dealing with a rib injury, but that isn’t expected to impact his trade value.
