Jeff Petry was recently traded to Detroit and he has shared his thoughts on getting traded.

Petry Traded Twice

The past year has been a whirlwind for Jeff Petry. He has been traded three separate times in the past 13 months and has been moved twice in the past month.

It started with the three-team Erik Karlsson trade which saw Petry head to Montreal so Pittsburgh could have some more cap space.

Then shortly after being traded to Montreal, he was flipped to Detroit to the Red Wings.

Petry Shares His Thoughts

Now landing in Detroit, Petry has shared his thoughts on now being with his hometown Red Wings.

In Petry's introductory presser with the Red Wings, he revealed how meaningful it was to be traded to Detroit.

"For me, I always thought about wanting to play one year here maybe at the end of my career, or whenever the opportunity came. To get that call yesterday was a very special moment for me."

Petry also said how he always wanted to be a Red Wing.

"Detroit was the No. 1 spot on my list," he said. "I want to play here - I've wanted to my whole life. I like what I see when I look at that roster."

He also touched on Detroit's future and how he wants to help.

"I'm excited to get started and do what I can to help that team continue to take those steps forward."

With Petry now with his hometown team, he will look to help them make the playoffs once again after missing it the past couple of seasons.
