Value is way too light for Fiala. I think you definitely have to add. I feel the price is gonna be an early first + decent prospect or late first + great prospect. Either way this is not enough and Hoffman going the other way makes no sense at all. Minnesota needs to shed cap not add.

Who would’ve guessed Petry to Detroit? Also, the trades all favor Habs.

Petry to Detroit... maybe... Not for a 2nd... If he had one year left and Detroit could move him at the deadline (Leddy), then a 2nd is an option..
This is purely a salary dump for Montreal and in no way is a team going to pay for that.

Petry, prospect and a 2nd for a 6th is a starting point to talk. Other options for players are plentiful and cheaper.

Petry @ $5,000,000 x 3 years if you're lucky might get you a 2nd round pick, There's no way you're getting a 2nd round pick for Petry at full value.

And Minnesota can't afford to take on cap and term. Guerin wants a 1st round pick and B prospect for Fiala's RFA rights. Minnesota in their cap crunch can't afford Mike Hoffman @ $4,500,000 x 2 years.

Habs add in Suzuki to wings trade to make it even

might as well throw in Lucas Raymond and 25% retained on Petry.

Nah his post is bad, so mine goes bad in the other direction

Philly declines
