Pick a Dzingel Berry and Plant it with the Gardiner

Detroit takes those bad contracts without getting anything of value in return?

Awful deal for Detroit

Dzingle has only a year left I'll swap ya Erne for him. I'll just sell him at the deadline. Gardiner just too long a deal. Keep a million and maybe we'll talk

As a Detroit fan I can say Erne's biggest contribution to the Wings was the Bert - Ehn - Erne line it got a laugh but awful on the ice. Now McIlrath is awful and he has trouble keeping up in the AHL. The fact that he played 16 games for Detroit because of injuries and it shows just how bad things were in Detroit this season. Dzingel is basically a cap dump but I wouldn't mind Gardiner coming to Detroit for the remainder of his contract but there is no way I'd give up a 2nd for him. I think Gardiner for Evgeny Svechnikov is about as far as I'd go to get him. I also think Evgeny needs a change of scenery and I think Carolina is his best chance to succeed. He got screwed over by Holland and then he blows out his knee but he is always smiling and he is always positive. He is the kind of player you want to see succeed no matter what team he plays for.

Just curious to why you say Holland screwed over Svechnikov? I know nothing of the situation
