As a NHL GM, well ArmchairGM, wondering where Detroit is going to get cap room next year. Another 3m for Stamkso, another 2.5m for Abdelkaker. When Kenny calls me, I'll let you know.
Nice post Mike.

Hockey News isn't known to be much of a reliable source... Either way, I don't see any trade for Stamkos to Detroit happening without TB getting Larkin in return.

hockey news didnt say it was going to happen,just a possibility..it was a "bold prediction" by one of their writers thats all..but its interesting one to say the least..and hockey news is a great source : P ...tbl wouldnt get larkin,theyd be getting what was posted..

Palhal-- Redwings have cap room to make it happen if they so chose to do so,they could trade to clear some space for one..secondly, couple UFA's would make up the difference rather easy,like richards leaving,quincey,andersson/cleary gone..helm and miller might be gone too--clearing about $13M total if all leave (mrazek /dekeyser/pulkkinen raises prob eats half that amount--leaving about 6-7M freed up) and plus after NEXT yr ..Datsyuk 7.5M comes off books too..and even if he stays in DET it wont be near that amount ..so theres plenty of room for kenny holland to pull it off..Never doubt that man trust me..

Stamkso already has his Leafs jersey stitched up.
