If that was the price then Detroit could just get Konecny and leave Cat to walk elsewhere in FA next summer

Cat would come with an 8x8.5m extension, Konecny is the one that has two years left on a deal paying him 5.5m. So Cat Is clocked down and TK is the one that can walk as a UFA two summers from now.

But also DeBrincat is no doubt the better player between the two, Ottawa loses value based on the situation, which brings them closer to equal value.

I'm saying Detroit could trade for Konecny for that price

In 12 months Debrincat will be a UFA, as it sounds like he won't be willing to re-sign in Ottawa. So just wait a year and get both

Wings pass, the ABD ship has sailed, its time for everyone on both sides to get this message in their head already

He’ll no doubt be traded before he hits the market as a UFA

Ottawa isn’t willing to accept picks and prospects but if Yzerman could pay the price that he had offered before to a 3rd team im sure he would pull the trigger

Nah wings pass, Yzerman isn't doing it
