Lagesson is very much an asset that some team (just not Detroit, apparently) would accept as part of of a package (with pick(s)) to take on a BAD contract. A cap dump is the trade of a player who has little to no value, usually league wide, due to the cost of his contract in comparison with poor or declining play, in which the team trading him will provide additional assets to entice teams to accept the burden of that contract against their cap figure.
Also . . . last I checked you only have 1 NHL goalie signed for next season. I'm sure you're confident (and/or hoping) that the Wings will re-sign UFA Bernier, but there's no fault in Deaner37 to assume the alternative for the purpose of his AGM. It's not a big stretch of the imagination to see Bernier parlaying a successful season on his part into a better situation for himself.
Bernier will resign as soon as the expansion draft is over. Bernier have publicly stated his desire to stay and he's very well liked and played very well for us. That he will be resigned is no secret.
The only reason that he's not already signed is due to the expansion draft. If he was to be resinged before the expansion draft then Seattle could claim him without Detroit being able to stop it. As long as he is UFA Seattle have no way of forcing him to sign with them as he simply can say no to them and turn around and sign with Detroit even if Seattle were to pick him as an UFA.
The entire point is that
both teams need to have a use for the players involved in a trade. If you're offering a trade to a team, any team, you have to take into account how that team values the players involved. If the team being offered the trade don't have any use for the players offered, they, in fact, have negative value to the team and no team will take on players with negative value unless they're being paid for it.
A 1st +a 2nd + a 3rd is a fair value for taking on Neal. It is comparable to the Staal trade value-wise considering the three differences between Staal and Neal. Neal is two years, Staal was one year. Neal's salary is 75% higher than Staal's (same cap different $$). Staal played in a position of need Neal doesn't.
If you wan't to add two more players that Detroit doesn't need then the trade price goes up.
