Yet another of the Boychuk to Detroit trades. Please think about this from Detroit's perspective (not the Isle dumping the contract on anyone with room without including draft picks)....Detroit is rebuilding...why do they take on a soon to be 37 year old d-man at 6M x2 who has declined significantly? And for only a 3rd rounder and only C and B prospects?
Easy pass. Next team that needs cap space choose from STL: Steen, CHI: Smith, Maatta, ANH: Backes, BUF: Hutton, MIN: Dubnyk, FLA: Straman, VAN: Beagle, Baertschi, Eriksson, or LA: Carter. Plenty of teams need cap space for a flat cap and internal ownership cap.
