A big NO from the Canes. Two promising youngsters for a guy on LTIR, an overpaid goalie, and average Dman and a prospect.

Probably could've sweetened the deal a bit but was being quick about it. I targeted the Canes because the money could count against the cap. Probably could've raided the Coyotes too but again, had to be quick about it.

Also, hello.

Is Nestrasil really that promising?

Ladd is going to get so much more.

I think Ladd will get more if he goes to a team where he'll be one of their top guys, but will probably take less if he's going to be a Top-9 component for a playoff team.

I say this full well knowing that the Wings were lucky to have made the playoffs this season.

Eriksson is expecting a raise, not same salary he has now, Canes pass on that trade all day, Yotes wouldnt trade that either because they would want something in return, not bad contract for bad cap space. Ladd will want a lot more money, all of this is no good

Chris Pronger was placed on LTIR when the team had a cap hit of $55,013,592 resulting in a relief of $0 and a cap hit of $4,935,714
