Cernak and Palat in

Wings pass, van adds a 2nd or no deal

Cernak would sign for less.

I dont think they pass, they have a lot of cap-space and for a professional franchise they will look to add a veteran who can kill penalties and play a matchup role allowing the skilled players to thrive. From a fans perspective it wouldnt make sense because you just look at stats, but from a professional standpoint sutter adds leadership and the abilities I listed before. What makes it even better is that he'll expire after the season so its not a long term commitment, plus he can join his former teammate stecher.

What makes it even more realistic is that the canucks dont get anything back. The goalie will never play in the NHL. So essentially the canucks lose this deal by sending out their best penalty killing center for basically nothing, just to earn extra cap flexibility.

Thats even better!

what do you think about the trade?

The problem is Detroit already has 23 men and the capspace could’ve signed someone much better this offseason. It’s also 3.5M in cash.
