Cat is going to get $9M to $9.5M for 7 or 8 years....makes zero sense what just happened and turning around and signing Forsberg for $1M less makes even less sense.

Don't you pull a Ken Holland. You're in a rebuild add draft picks and prospects and wait your five years!

what's a ken holland? lol

News just broke from Poile that there has been progress on the Forsberg contract in Nashville.

I very dangerous man who signs veteran players and tries but fails to win with an older roster

i see what your trying to get at but i dont , he never signed keith but the move is just as bad, and smith did good sooo

also their roster is fairly young

No my friend. He signed Nielsen, Abdelkader, Alfredsson, Weis, Greene ( who actually wasn't horrible) and Vanek to an aging Wings team. Oh then he traded Datsyuks right's for the 15th overall pick and that would've been Chkryun. The man is dangerous. Don't let your GM be that man

Thanks. Maybe Gaudreau is a target. In the NHL teams basically exchange cap for cap. Hawks are looking at DeBrincat's next contract and figure they can get a comparable player with about the same cap and they have collected three picks too. Hawks may have finished out of the playoffs in 22/23. I figure the Hawks didn't really lose. the trade at all. Just gained some cap flexibility entering this UFA market...or not this year next year.

oh lmao, well if we were going back to his Detroit days then yes. I thought u meant currently, my bad g
