Red Wings make out like a bandit on this one I say yes.

Minnesota declines so does jared spurgeon who has nmc. Forgot that?

The Kings are giving up Clarke AND 1st for a rental in Bertuzzi. Come on, would you give up Simon Edvinsson and a 1st for one year Duclair?

I mean Detroit obviously would take this but its not a deal that would happen.

Idk why people act like players don’t waive NTC’s or NMC’s all the time. I think Minnesota does that deal in a heartbeat. Fiala is going to cost $8m and Spurgeon is sitting at around $7m, to replace them with a quality top 4 defenseman at just $4m, allows them to remain competitive with this young core AND they get a 1st round pick this year out of the deal plus a likely NHL ready potential stud Defenseman? I could see maybe a TAD more going to Minny. But the deal makes a ton of sense for them.



I would not.

I also don’t believe Clarke is anywhere near the prospect of Edvinsson, nor do I believe Duclair has anywhere near the value of Bertuzzi.

Trades made in the off-season for players on expiring deals don’t usually result in “rentals” anyhow.

Usually the player who is acquired is extended immediately.

Bertuzzi is a championship player. He brings much more to the game in every facet than someone like Duclair, albeit Anthony has an exceptional shot.

Alright, if you believe an 8th overall pick and another first if what you’ll get for Bertuzzi is realistic I think we are wasting one anothers time.

Huh? Who has an 8th overall pick ? The Kings made the playoffs this year Fam, they’re picking like 20th

Ohh ur talking about Clarke’s draft position

Brother, where a player was drafted in the past has zero consideration in determining a players value in the future. If that’s the case, I should be able to trade a 4th round pick for Kirill Kaprizov because he was drafted in the 5thround….

This was last years draft man, many drafts analysts saw Clarke as a steal at 8, and nothing he has done this season indicates otherwise to me. If you are going troll, have fun. Just leave me out of it, I’m here for constructive and realistic conversation.

My man, u having a bad day or something? I’m not trolling but u can def leave yourself out of it, boss.

Will do, have fun.

Spurgeon will never waive, that is a fact. Don't act like he will. Minnesota won't because he is their captain and they gave him contract and named him captain for a reason.

Oh wow, I didn’t know players who signed contracts were not eligible to be traded. 🫡

And Captains are off limits🙅🏻‍♂️😤. Got it.

Yeah because I am sure a long time player who was given captaincy and longest Avv in Minnesota's history will be traded. Oh yeah, Minnesota #1d will waive also. Got it. Players with nmc are rarely traded for that reason. He has a total nmc. He's not leaving Minnesota

Zach & Ryan say hi.

Unholy hell the kings get screwed in this one...

Really? You are mentioning old players who suck and are cancerous compared to spurgeon? Weak argument

Yeah, I was just combating a weak argument with another.
