Quoting: End_of_the_Laine
This is a pre draft deal, after the season they have loads of cap space, I am guessing they'd like to make the playoffs next season. Why not hitch the wagon to arguably one of the to 2 or 3 goalies in the world, whos also from Michigan?
Well Bert (first line) was moved for the 2024 Boston 1st which hurts playoff chances. Hronek (2nd RD, PP QB2 and top point producing D) was moved for 2023 NYI 1st which makes the team weaker and hurts playoff chances.
Helly doesn't win Detroit more games with those guys gone, and would be in his last year of a 6M contract at 29 years old. So this is a year and a half rental for Detroit? Or is SY re-signing an 8+M extension?
- Edvinsson is the 3rd best NHL prospect. Top 5-top 10 at worst.
- Husso has been good as a starter. Maybe you meant to put Ned? Per your comment,
"although Husso has a NMC, the Wings can easily bury him in the minors if he didnt accept this." -That doesnt make much sense.
- 2- 1st round picks that were just acquired?
After this deadline, your proposal for Detroit's final roster turnover would be:
Bertuzzi 50% / Hronek / Husso / Edvinsson / Detroit 2023 4th out the door
in exchange for
Helly / Vancouver 2023 2nd / Boston 2025 4th coming in
Thats awful.
