I guess he had negative value after all...

His injury history made him very high risk, I'm surprised with the retention all pens got was a 7th

I have a feeling Rutherford was told cut costs and make the second rnd or he's out. These trades smell desperate

And that's only the first proper cap dump trade of the summer. He had the most options available, it's not getting any prettier.

But remember when the wings were supposed to take him for a 3rd or a 4th because we had cap space??

Ya if he plays 70 games or 35 points? So if not, just nothing or the next years 7th? Like he’s going home, is there not value there, maybe simply traded him so he could play at home. I can see a lot of deals like this simply because some guys want to be closer to family. Billy ain’t giving up ****
