There is no situation so bad that it can't be made worse!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>Well I suppose it depends on the direction that you want to go after trading a guy like that. If you're still looking to improve (which is <em>very</em> difficult when trading a guy like Eichel), then yes, this isn't what you should be looking for. But if you're headed toward a rebuild, I think this is quite the package. Two 1sts in this deep draft (including #5), a first round prospect with a couple years of development, Kapanen - who is young and still has years of team control ahead (you can flip or keep him), and Ekholm, a fantastic Dman who still has two years left and is on an excellent contract, you could get a good return for him. Plus two goalie prospects - they don't add much value, but they certainly don't hurt either.</div></div>

Taking a second look at it and I was undervaluing Ekholm he is 30 but still pretty much on top of his game. I do agree and I was wrong before this is far from spare parts no matter what context it is viewed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>That contract was still front loaded, 10 down to 7 than 5 million. Zyuk was never going to play for the "lowly" 5 million season, just like Zett left when his contract dropped to 3.5 to 1 and 1 million. Same goes for Hossa and Bobby Lou, I'm actually surprise Lou played for the 1.3 million season before walking away. All these contracts are NHL cap fraud.</div></div>

Ok but the 35+ contract is the leagues answer to older players getting front loaded contracts and the team is still responsible for that cap even if the player retires and they get no relief even if they put the player on LTIR. You obviously have no clue about 35+ contracts. Click the CBA tab at the top of the page then from the submenu click CBA FAQ scroll down to What is a 35-plus contract? and read.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Yea, I looked at Weiss' career, even though he was injury prone and retired after the buyout, at the time of the buyout he has been cleared to play for the AHL team and thus the Wings option were to buy him out or cruelly hope he re-injuries himself. Or cheat the system and do the Lupul, Hossa or Zetterberg fake LTIR.</div></div>

In Zetterbergs case his back is all messed up but yeah its milking the system but if it is or they think it will be a big problem they can change it at the next CBA and it's not like only certain teams can use it, it's the same for every team. Player's want bigger and bigger contracts and the owners want a way out when big contracts don't pan out. The biggest problems were solved by setting max length of contracts and the rules on 35+ contracts.
