If I was as hot as my takes Id be Erik Gudbranson

See: Brent Burns trade (Boy was I wrong about that one)

Petry is similar to Burns, DiPietro is similar to Makiniemi, and the 3rd has the same conditions as the Burns trade (lower of the VAN and MIN 3rd round picks)

The advantage here is that Montreal gets Ferland back as an LTIR player, so while the Habs aren't dumping the full contract, they're essentially getting 7M with LTIR relief through next season.
