Gaudreau will want max term

Detroit probably accepts, Letang wants 5 years and Gaudreau will want a max 7-8 years at similar money. Neither Gaudreau or Letang take 2 year deals from Montreal.

Detroit does not accept, we don’t want Petry, maybe Petry of 4-5 years ago but not now and not for zadina. The only way I see it happening is a Petry and a 2nd to Det for some marginal 4 liner or minor leaguer as we’d be doing them a monster favor getting them out from under that boat anchor.

Detroit have no use for a RD.

Here, I fixed these Petry offer:
Detroit gets: Petry(half retained), a 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd
Montreal gets: Thomas Greiss and a used traffic cone signed by Jonathan Ericsson.
Obviously this is ridiculous but that’s what Petry is worth to Detroit.
