this trade is Johnny's baby. overpaid and long term eriksson has no say where he goes.....it's wings, ahl or a buyout.</div></div>

Ericsson has every say where he goes, In the 2018/2019 season Ericsson has a 19 team no trade list and i'm pretty sure Vegas is on it.</div></div>

Yes he has a NTC, but if give the choice between playing in the AHL, or playing in the NHL but traded to Vegas, I think Ericsson would waive his NTC to stay in the NHL. Vegas is collecting picks and knows that they are not going to contend in the near future, so taking a bad contract doesn't hurt them since most of their players are on cheap deals. Plus they get more draft picks.

Sujet: We still want Trouba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>steveospeak</b></div><div>The Winnipeg trade makes no sense. Why would Winnipeg care about dumping Enstrom's salary? He's coming off the books next year and they are currently $7M under the cap. In fact you have them taking on slightly more in salary than they are giving up. Mrazek doesn't carry much value right now, goalies in general aren't that valuable as trade chips and esp. Mrazek coming off a terrible year and with some attitude issues (plus a high price tag relative to his production). And Nyquist and a pair of 2nd rounders don't come close to Trouba</div></div>

Enstrom would come off because in the scenario, Winnipeg would be adding over $9million against the cap. Agree that goalies don't have a ton of trade value, but a 25 year old who has shown signs of being a top guy isn't valueless. So a top 6 Winger, a #1 Goalie, a NHL D-Man(bottom pair), and a pair of second round picks seems like a haul.

Sujet: It Hurts but Full Rebuild Mode-MTL,EDM,NJ,PIT,NYR trades- Thoughts?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Terrible deal for New Jersey. 5m can be spent a lot better than Ericsson. But almost all your trades have Detroit not taking back money which doesn't;t happen much now in the cap era. Would Montreal want 36 year old Zettenberg at 6.1m for four years or Pittsburg taking Helm at 3.85 for four years? My opinion no. They can sign better players cheaper though maybe not this year. The Rangers and Oilers deals might be good because the term is shorter.</div></div>

New Jersey makes the deal for the pick they'd get and to reach the floor.
Montreal needs scoring if they want to win a Cup before their window closes, so they get a proven playoff contributor and obvious great locker room guy.
Pittsburgh needs a 3C and Helm has a lot of playoff experience and is tremendous on the PK. Detroit would retain some on his salary.

Sujet: Is the such thing as a quick rebuild?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Well, not like that. There is no way to trade Ericsson, his play versus his contract is so poor. Same with Helm, probably at 3.8m and 4 more years, he can't just be traded for picks. Green, sure trade him at the deadline but don't get back an expensive player. Save the money and make a better off season signing at sometime instead of receiving RHN. And forget about Trouba now. He might be UFA in three years. Then you sign him.</div></div>

Agree with Ericsson but thats why the pick was added, might need to be a 3rd.
Helm still has value in the league as a bottom 6 guy but Wings would probably have to retain some salary.
Most people have Green going for a first round pick, which I would not complain about, but I like RNH (more than most people) and think in the right situation can be a top 2 center(especially if he gets to learn from Zetterberg).
Trouba is an RFA after this season so why wouldn't the Jets entertain the idea of getting a haul for him vs a possible offer sheet? a top 6 wing, NHL d-man(bottom 4), a top D prospect(1st round in 2016) and 2nd and 3rd round picks is a nice package for a pending RFA.
