Those two things are connected.
Wings are short on cap space, and had two ship out a contract.
Wibgs are short on cap space and can't be aggressive in free agency.

They have at most 3M after signing RFAs for a forward if they go with the defense they have.

Depends on what we're doing with Ray and Mo, doesn't it? Term plus money could absolutely take a chunk of cap space. Plus, there was the Trouba trade rumor, which also may have had an effect.

I understand he is not the best player anymore. But what is with everyone's fascination with dumping Petry? He has one year remaining, and while he is overpaid by about 1 to 1.5m he is pretty much someone who you would want sitting in a #7 slot on d. He is a vet pro who will stay in shape and be ready for action as injuries open slots up. Provided our D are not ravaged by injuries which would mean putting him on the second pairing or higher he doesn't look out of place on the third pairing.
What July 1st was it that Petry signed here on a longterm deal again.. 2020?

I think it’s just because we have so many bottom pair d-men.

Don't quote me but I believe 2022-23 season. He has been here for 2 seasons.
If I remember correctly, he was a deadline deal 22-23 or offseason, same year we signed Holl.
Yeah pretty sure. Granted I just got off work after a long day so my memory might not be great as far as accuracy goes.

I see 17 players signed, and they are 3.89M away from cap and Landeskog is going to LTIR again.
The real cap space is 10.9M.
He was traded here last off season, long after free agency started.

Red Wings have 21.6M in cap space.
Seider 8.5M
Raymond 7.0M
Veleno 1.6M
Berggren 1.1M
12th forward 775k (at least)
13th forward 775 (at least)
-----------
Total 19.75M
It shinks pretty fast after RFA deals.
You very well could be right. I'm not 100% after a long day but I am sure he came here same year we signed Holl.

it's so funny to me when people look at the contracts that have already been signed and say, 'i would have done that deal or that deal. wtf stevie?'
like, how do you think these negotiations happen? do you think that every agent in the business calls yzerman immediately before signing a contract and says, 'hey steve. this is the best offer we've gotten but we were wondering if you can match it? my client would even be willing to go a little less on the term or aav because he already got the red wings logo tattooed on the tip of his p*nis and it's going to be a long, awkward 5 years walking around another locker room with that thing hanging out. please get back to us at your earliest convenience, we're willing to wait until the last day of preseason to hear back from you.'

Yup, came here a while after. It was the Erik Karlsson trade that fueled the Petry trade. First Petry was traded retained to MTL, and then MTL retained in a trade to us. We didn't give up much for him.
If it had happened before Holl, I don't think Holl would have been signed.
