Mantha gets 1-2M more
Bertuzzi gets 1-1.5M more

Remove the 3rd and add in a prospect from van

Ladd has 73 years left and will cost a first + 2nd + prospect

No thanks Benning already said that he's not adding sweeteners to move Loui Eriksson's contract. And Ladd no thank you either. The odds of either Eriksson or Ladd playing full time in Detroit is zero.

Mantha maybe around $6M, and Bertuzzi I think is fine, he's not a big producer, and I don't think he has too much more to his game than what everyone's seen.

Vancouver has no real prospects that would be available, and I don't see them moving a roster player, considering Detroit is literally lacking at every position and 2021 is supposedly deep at Goaltending and Defense, two positions that could take 2-5 years to develop properly.

So the purpose was, stack your roster with depth and let them develop internally as opposed to trading for pieces.

I think the ladd trade is fine, you're giving up a nothing pick in exchange for a first and 3rd, which realistically can be bought out in a year or two to minimize the impact, but Detroit should be cap floor team for the next 2-3 seasons anyways.

Bertuzzi is playing top 3 and is very valuable to the wings he's getting 5*5

Vancouver has dipietro, woo, rathborne. We would take any of those with the pick

Ladd is going to add. It's ladd + 1st + 2nd(or aho) + prospect

We aren't taking these guys otherwise sorry

The problem with the Ladd trade is you can't buyout Ladd and save anything in the near term (which is why NYI wants to move him in the first place). The contract is full of signing bonuses, and you get no break from those. Anyone that is going to take on Ladd is going to want the moon and stars to do so, because you are taking on all the risk.

Bertuzzi will easily break the $5mm/year mark, and probably beat his comparison (which is Tom Wilson). Wilson is a .36ppg player making 5.166mm/year. Bertuzzi is a .6PPG player. The market says he should be making around 5.25x5 years, which I suspect is what he will get. If he went to arbitration, Bertuzzi's floor would be $5mm/year (based on comparables) for a 1 year deal.
