Trades

TBL

Anisimov, Artem
Brown, Logan
2021 2nd round pick (CBJ)

OTT

Cernak, Erik [RFA Rights]
Gourde, Yanni

Additional Details:

gourde might consider waiving out of desperation. had lots of time on the fourth line which could frustrate players. he's from QC so a trade to eastern canada doesn't seem all that crazy on him waiving his NTC
With top 6 minutes, Gourde can easily gain back worth to this contract and potentially become a 50-60 point guy again and a crucial asset to the rebuild

TBL

Donato, Ryan

MIN

Anisimov, Artem
2021 2nd round pick (TBL)
2022 4th round pick (TBL)

Additional Details:

anisimov is easier to flip as there's no NTC, MIN benefits from a Koivu replacement and gets a bit of a pay boost to take on Artem

TBL

Appleton, Mason [RFA Rights]
Copp, Andrew
Niku, Sami [RFA Rights]
2021 1st round pick (WPG)
2022 2nd round pick (WPG)

WPG

Cirelli, Anthony [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

I don't see Cirelli getting moved, but there's no harm in exploring options. WPG should be all in on him.
TB should want a capable middle six center, a RHD prospect/rookie and a few picks.
I don't know by how much Niku's value has fallen... can always sub in Chisholm

TBL

Walker, Sean [RFA Rights]
2021 3rd round pick (LAK)

LAK

Killorn, Alex

Additional Details:

Would seem more logical that a contender buys on him, but he has term and could be a great merger asset.
Given LA likes Roy a lot, Walker is expendable. LA has lots of talent on the rise, but not a lot of veterans to successfully merge them to the league. Killorn could be this guy

TBL

2021 6th round pick (CGY)

CGY

Coburn, Braydon
2021 3rd round pick (TBL)

Additional Details:

the only place i could see him waive for... theres no other way

these moves assume a pretty good scenario... i don't think it will be this easy though... I have no clue how they will make any of this work

he's probably going to lead the Wings to another couple cups and the dip when cap problems get really bad.

The cap isn't going to stay flat for the next 3 years.
Their new TV deal alone will change that.

On top of it when they go back to the table to do a new TV deal. It will be done with the intent of making sure that their TV contracts can cover ALL of their expenses instead of being a gate focused league that they currently are.
As they need to make sure they are on par with how other sports are making their money, as their model is broken.
