Quoting: DogDayCaps2
He’s done. So wings are basically getting a free 4th round pick for a guy that’s going to be on LTIR. Caps don’t need to waste assets to dump dead cap. Also Kempny was pretty amazing before getting hurt not a guy I would consider a cap dump more of a low risk high reward guy considering where the wings are at in there rebuild
These are Detroit's LHD that were drafted in rounds 1-3 and the number in parenthesis is how many picks the team had in those rounds
2022 (4)
2021 6th overall, 22nd overall, 37th, 47th, 52nd, 70th, 96th plus 2 4th rounders (7)
2020 William Wallinder R2#32, Donovan Sebrango R3#63, Eemil Viro R3#70 (6)
2019 Albert Johansson R2#60 (5)
2018 Jared McIsaac R2#36 (7)
2017 Kasper Kotkansalo R3#71 (6)
2016 Dennis Cholowski R1#20 (3)
So I don't think a 4th rounder for 2.2M in actual salary is all that appealing to them considering that Marc Staal's 3.2M was worth a 2nd round pick (47th overall) as the Rangers already paid his bonus money of 1M.
