Someone's a little jelly that they had to give up Teuvo to get rid of Bickell's contract...

It's a bad precedent, yet another loophole the League allowed even though it had agreements that should have tempered cap circumventions like this.

Listen to a Hawks fan talking about loop holes... Patrick Kane magically was ready for the first game of the postseason to come off LTIR after doctors said he would be out for months, and then Vermette, Timmonen, and Desjardins keep his cap space warm in the meantime until the cap goes away in the playoffs.

It makes me chuckle inside to think that all Detroit got in this trade was losing out on Chychrun and another bad contract in Nielsen.

"but Dennis Cholowski—" yeah, well, which teenage left-shot defender is in the NHL and which one just jumped ship from the NCAA to major-junior?

and don't forget, DeKeyser and Helm's extensions were signed that summer, too. gr8 way to fritter away that newly-minted cap space.

if they had picked someone other than cholowski then detroit would have one. i will take chycrun over Hronek but not terrible for either team.

Yep! Hronek saved this deal for DET; he's definitely not as good as Chychrun, but I still love the kid.

Well...

-Arizona didn't get a single game out of Pavel Datsyuk, but got Jakob Chychrun from the draft pick

-Detroit didn't get a single game out of Joe Vitale, but got one defensive prospect that has looked solid (Hronek) and one defensive prospect that is likely ruined forever due to a changing of the guard in Detroit (Cholowski)

I'd say Arizona won.

Forget about the fact that Chychrun turned out to be better than Cholowski and Hronek. At the time they were just draft picks. Nobody knew who they’d be. Arizona took on a huge cap dump and gave up a second-round pick to move up only four positions in the draft. This would never happen today. A cap dump of that magnitude now would cost Detroit a mid to late first, and all they’d get back would be future considerations.

Under today's prices this is a massive win for Detroit.

I strongly disagree. Now it’s basically Hronek for Chychrun.
I would rather have Chycrun.

Datsyuk's contract was zero actual dollars because he retired from the NHL -- it was pure cap. Vitali's was LTIR and wasn't insured, so it was real dollars.
It wasn't a great trade valuewise, but they really wanted Chychrun, and supposedly were close to taking him at seven (Keller) so were looking to move up when he slid outside 10. In hindsight, they had their eye on the right guy, so good trade. But the value still seems dodgy in a vacuum.
