Description

I thought the Panthers needed more Cap space so they can get Duclair back in the lineup. They have over 500k Cap space with Duclair in the lineup. What I am missing here?

Trade itself:

Some Wings fans say we should trade our UFA's for futures only and some say that we need to get immediate help. This trade brings in both.
If Vrana is traded / Bought out: Wings need to bring in another goals scorer. Couple picks going back to Detroit for retaining money and giving the Panthers more Cap room. Bertuzzi and Duclair are both 27y old with pretty similar numbers. Duclair has one more year left on his deal while Bertuzzi is a UFA.

Trades

FLA

Bertuzzi, Tyler ($2,375,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Bertuzzi brings the "playoff style" hockey that Paul Maurice wants from his players.

DET

Duclair, Anthony
2024 5th round pick (PHI)
2025 4th round pick (CGY)

Additional Details:

Vrana's replacement.

Red Wings decline. I think they can do better in a Bert trade. I think his value is much higher than it is on CFACGM. 🤭

Bert certainly would be a good fit in Sunrise.

Just to add....Panthers are in 11th place in the East. Panthers/Bertuzzi and playoffs doesn't seem to combination we will see in the spring of 2023.

I don't necessarily think he's being undervalued, but I also don't know if this is the right fit for the Wings.

Healthy Bertuzzi was very solid. The issue that I have is that the return from hand surgery rarely results in the player coming back and being 100% immediately after.
