Description

Nothing crazy, the Letang signing could be risky cause he would be 38 by the end. MTL gets the PP QB we need a a great veteran for the young kids on D.
We get rid of Armia and Weber's contracts. ARI gets a contract to not worry about the cap floor and a usable player in Armia. MTL takes back a bad contract in Ladd that finishes the year after.
Hoffman is sent into the sun - SEA - a team that needs people who can score and can afford his contract.
For Petry I sent him to DET because they would need a vet D that could help the kids with the growing pains and take some heat off Seider. No idea about Newpower, just a exemple of a return.
I assumed first pick and Wright, if not just slide Evans on 3C and whatever winger we pick into the lineup.

This is the type of offseason I wouldn't be mad at, preparing for the future and getting rid of some money. I start Guhle and Barron together in the AHL, get some experience and don't rush them to the NHL.
Then, at the trade deadline, maybe move Drouin and Byron, maybe even Allen for more picks and prospects.

Detroit have no use for Petry. We're set at RD for the next decade.

If your argument for Arizona is they need to hit the cap floor, they can do that by overpaying UFAs or taking on garbage contracts while acquiring assets. Obvious bias from a Montreal fan there.

and of course Detroit definitely doesn't need Petry whatsoever.

Hitting the cap floor while spending less actual dollars. $7.8M cap hit, but only a $1M salary.
If you owned a struggling NHL team about to have some poor revenue on top of recent covid losses, would you "sell" a 2nd round pick for $20M in cash?

For the billionth time, Detroit isn't taking Petry and certainly isn't giving up ANY assets for a cap dump. That contract will cost a boatload to move and Detroit is moving past the cap dump acquisition phase of the rebuild.
