<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SharkTank</b></div><div>How is Detroit dumping Husso?

Buyout?

Can't see any team trading for him.

Would Ullmark waive his NTC for Detroit?</div></div>

Husso is on a one year contract and the assumption is Detroit would NOT be on his list considering it’s a similar distance flight/hub. One year contracts shouldn’t drive guaranteeing a weak positional mix especially with the number of young players Detroit has on its team. They should easily have the salary flexibility to upgrade the position. Cossa isn’t ready to start, but should make for a good backup. Augustine is interesting, but we saw with the kid from Buffalo that jumping to the NHL is difficult.

My biggest issue with this deal from Boston’s perspective is its quantity but not quality.

I’d rather have a late first than a mid 2nd, mid 3rd, and a 4th.

I’d rather have a top 23 pick than two seconds.

I’d rather just trade him for a good prospect by themselves than take this package.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>He’s coming off a year where he likely can’t demand what Horvat and Scheifele got. I think the number is going to be between 6.75 and 7.75m and fully expect him to get 7 years. Boston is probably one of the more attractive places to Lindholm, because he fits the system and he’d be playing with Pasta/Zacha which essentially is recreating the line he has the most success with. Sweeney has tried to trade for him with Calgary and Vancouver, so my guess is he’s ready to pay the necessary price to secure him.

Its a risk, but so is waiting for the second tier free agents and hoping you don’t overpay them (which is essentially what happened with Reilly/Forbort, but Ullmark hit which kind of excuses it). If you could have gotten Lindholm without giving assets based on the previous three years before 2023-2024, you’d have been incredibly happy and would have paid 8.5M AAV.

My belief is that DuBois is overpaid enough that you’d have to add a first or equivalent to him just to get market value in a trade. I doubt he gets 8.5m on the open market and the Kings are probably kicking themselves for that decision. Giving him the money and giving Winnipeg Villardi/Iaffalo must be maddening</div></div>

If he goes long term, this is his last contract, and he's been budget friendly on his previous ones. Add to that the cap increasing significantly the next two years and no one's going to be taking budget signings for a while, previous salary comps are going to get thrown out because they represented much larger slices of the cap ceiling when they were signed. Dubois took a bit over 10% of the cap, and he was an RFA signing.

I would not be surprised to see Lindholm command at least 8.5, probably 9, as arguably the best center available for a long term commitment, given he's never had the health issues that Monahan has struggled with for years.
