Overpaid Griess, under-termed Bert and Mantha.

Otherwise this is basically option B if we don't take another contract for assets.

You're probably right, I could see Bertuzzi and Mantha potentially opting for less term though. Otherwise if they take 6 year deals, they may peak and fall all within that 6 years and never get a big payout. Mantha in particular plays like a potential $8M player when healthy and consistent but has only put together one full season so far in his career.

I don't know what Greiss' ask will be but he played well in NYI this year so I could see it being a bit higher. In the end though Detroit's problem is not financial, rather figuring out what players to put and where since there is such a logjam of borderline NHL talent.

Zadina probably won't make the first line in 2021
