We can't just wish away petry and holl

Good for Maatta that hes seemingly rebuilt his career in Detroit, but we probably dont take him back in LA. He's not better than Mikey or Gavrikov, and 3M is too rich for us for what would be a 6D.

Why would Yzerman sign Bert?

They talked for 2 years about a contract extension and couldn't come to terms. 😆

CBJ probably accept that. They've got the cap space, and your sweeteners are pretty good.

Fabbri might be some nice skill to pair up with Smith/Celebrini

And lets not forget, Petry - atrocious as he may be, A) isn't that expensive and B) has not only an NTC but a NMC. He is retiring as a Red Wing this year so we gotta just accept him as a 7th D and move on. Like stompers said, wishing him away isn't gonna happen.

LA already had Maatta and doesn't need him again. LA needs a Dman like Zadorov, so if you have one of those on the cheap I'm all ears
