That is probably the kind of deal EDM would have to make to get Perron from DET. It's an overpay, but not a major one, but EDM would have to overpay to get any retention.

Petrov is a pretty good prospect, big, shoots right handed, and is in the CHL (so no Russia issues). Will need a little time in the AHL, but is a good asset down the road. As a righty, can play both wings (though, he's played his off wing for his CHL career).

Foegele is a bottom 6 guy that can play in the top 6 in a pinch (2nd line only). His usage was up this season (though, in less games), and some of his warts came up, but is a positive guy on the ice in shot and chance differential.

Obviously, the first is a later first, as EDM will be a playoff team. But, it could be packaged by DET to another team to improve the now, especially getting a prospect like Petrov.

I don't see how this makes EDM better. It makes the 2nd line better, but weakens the 3rd/4th lines. EDM's issue is depth, and if I was Holland, I'd have a hard time cutting into my depth. Petrov has an NHL body now, could end up being a piece next year, along with what Foegele brings.
