What did Detroit give up to get smith? Assuming with how little we are giving up not sure it’s worth it for Detroit.

You'll have to look up the AGM I mentioned. I suspect Edmonton would have to pay a little more than a 3rd, but that's what the Detroit AGM was.

It’s interesting but think it’s light on Edmonton’s side Detroit could ask for more.
Interesting you choose to waive benson over shore or Perlini. That I’d reconsider. Waiving russell for cap purposes makes more sense on paper but in reality I think he’s way too highly respected within the organization to do that to. I really like the first trade depending on aspects already went over second trade idk

I think Detroit could be persuaded to take back a little more cap (Ryan?) if the pot was sweetened a bit. Ryan is an actual NHL player so not a complete dump, but I think the emergence of McLeod and roster additions at wing pushing Nuge back to C make him expendable.

I just don’t get why Holland keeps signing these bottom of the roster type of guys to 2 year deals. Turris shore Ryan not one of them makes sense to go past one year with. Maybe the deal would make more sense to me if it was with Vegas using Arizona as a broker. Decent prospect heads to Vegas the pick goes to Arizona along with Ryan possibly see if shore too because Arizona has very few players signed threw next year so they might be more willing to take those guys off our hands.
