Okay everyone, I think at this point we've all come to the early conclusion that the original offer is not realistic but let's move on and discuss the value of Jarry to Detroit.
From a logical base, I think the Penguins would want Berggren. A young forward prospect for a starting goalie is hardly a far fetched base value. Using that as the base, would Detroit likely want to keep Husso or include him in the deal for cap purposes? The Yzerman tweet left it a little open but makes me think that he wouldn't mind Husso+tandem goalie but he would want a longer-ish term commitment which makes me think Jarry is a fit.
If Yzerman elects to keep Husso, does Lyon become part of the package? Lyon+Berggren for Jarry seems like a decent deal for both sides. If Husso is to be included with the deal, I do think a bit more needs to come back because there's not much that's attractive about a $4.5mil goalies running 3.5+ and sub .900. So Emp's deal for Husso+Berggren+3rd is spot on.
Cap wise, Detroit doesn't have any bad contracts that I see and there's space for days so taking on Jarry at $5.35mil seems quite easy.
The thing is, Wings doesnt really need to dump Husso. He only has a year left. Jarrys contract is just too long for it to make sense trading for him. I just dont see Detroit as the destination. We'd prefer an vet upgrade on a shorter term.
