Description

I think this could easily be a playoff team.

Tarasenko- Needed goal scorer who Detroit can afford to overpay for a couple of years. Increase my proposed AAV if needed.

Durzi- Young RD who could be a nice 2nd pair guy for the future. 2nd and a prospect seems to be the going rate.

Petry- The only Petry deal that makes sense if a Chiarot swap. Trade bad contract for bad contract, but the RD is needed. Add a low prospect or a late pick to make it happen.

DeBrincat-*sigh* I think he’ll be cheaper than what the Sens paid for him but for the sake of it, Sens get a middle 6 guy in Fabbri, a 1st, and either a 3rd and 4th OR a 2nd. Wings get a needed scorer. If Sens fans want more, Wongs target Konecny for less.

No thanks on the PIT and OTT deals.

Petry is a 12½ million cap dump and we're not touching him unless he comes with a 1st round pick.

DeBrincat is not worth his salary and term and that makes him too expensive. We don't need him that bad, we'd be better off getting Meier or Bratt.

I don’t disagree with Petry, but I see him as a RD version of Chiarot on a shorter deal.

As far as Cat goes, i have hesitations but the kid can score. I wouldn’t pay what Ottawa paid for him, but I’d take him and stick him on a line with Ras who can keep the flies off of him.

Pens decline. Funny how Petry is viewed as a cap dump because of his contract but Chiarot isn't...
