The Oilers are still likely to deal Petry, according to the Edmonton Journal.

The Oilers are still likely to deal Petry before the March 2 trade deadline, reports the Edmonton Journal.

Analysis:

Petry could bring back a good price from those teams that lost out on Andrej Sekera. One could make an argument that Petry is the type of solid defenseman that the Oilers should be keeping, but in the end, this team is far from competitive, and it may be best to acquire as many prospects and picks as possible.
