Trouba won't waive, and Miller is gonna be a key shutdown piece to that D for years.

Bertuzzi is a helluva player, but DET is going to have a hard time getting value for him. Can't be traded to any of the CDN teams due to his vax status, and can't play any games in Canada, which could hurt his playoff value. (though the metro is the most likely landing place for him). DET fans need to come to terms with him most likely getting traded at the deadline for a low first and a B prospect.

Great insight! I know the vax situation isn’t helping at all. Could be a pain later. Trouba stated he would waive for Detroit. I can’t remember when I read it, but those were his words. More or less my thought process was NYR wants to move his contract, that has been known. Fox is untouchable there, I figured I’d shoot for the next best in Miller, but like you said, he’s a nearly obvious piece of their future.

If Trouba said he would waive, that would be a great piece for DET, even if he is a little overpaid. I think the Rangers would def move him. Aim a little lower with Lundqvist, Jones or Robertson instead of Miller and it could get done
