Seems redundant

Decline, not trading a 2nd. You need cap space do the same deal minus what the wings are giving up and nucks add a 3rd

Well give you some crappy prospect we don't care about

What’s the point of giving up Eriksson if you get Nielsen back?

honestly it makes no sense

My guess is they plan to buyout Neilson.

I can see Detroit taking on cap but if they I wouldn't expect any picks going to Vancouver especially not a 2nd round pick.

Saves them barely any money compared to buying out eriksson

I'm not saying it make sense. It's just spread out differently Neilson's cap hit in year 1 is $2.25M less than Ericsson's. In year 2 Neilson's cap hit is $750K more than Ericsson's. I have no idea why he's swapping Neilson and Ericsson but the buyout is the only thing that makes sense.
