Mark my words if Driedger signs a deal like this it'll become one of the league's worst within 2 years

{"Based on Klefbom sling it looks like he got rotator cup surgery and would probably be ready for next year."}

Then it will be interesting to see who Edmonton protects in the expansion draft.

It will cost you assets to dump an overpaid below to average goalie with that contract

I’m thinking if you retained 1.5 million it should be possible.

I don’t disagree that it could. I think the bar was set with the thatcher demko contract though. Driedger ullmark merzlikins in a year could all probably get 5x5

If Klefbom can play I do t think it matters if they lose Lagesson or jones.

Wouldn't be that interesting they just leave Jones and Lagesson unprotected unless Nuge doesn't resign. If Nuge walks or waits til after ED Oilers could protect 8 skaters McDavid, Drai, Yamo, JP, Nurse, Bear, Klef and Jones/Lagesson. Could also trade Lagesson or Jones forcing Seattle to take a forward which at worst Kahun is taken at best Kassian.

As a Wing's fan i'm good with that trade but I'm probably the only Wing's fan that thinks Turris could help Detroit next season.

Yzermann jumps all over it a 22 3rd with Yzermann in rounds 2&3

I agree but there aren't many people who think highly of Turris. Honestly I don't know if Yzerman would go for it but I think he should.

It’s pretty low risk. I think he could make turris into something and trade him for a 3rd the following deadline.

Even if he thinks Turris is a waste of space he takes the pick and Turris to make the cap work. Maybe asks for an additional 6 or 7
Edit:
It's like the Steve Downie Trade he made sent him to Colorado for Quincey and here's where it hurts Red Wings fans flipped Quincey to Detroit for the pick that became Vasilevskiy asked right after why the three team trade he said it wasn't i had the choice of the Foward or Defenseman i choose defenseman then i was presented the option Defenseman or pick i choose pick

Rotator cuff*

I would protect Kassian and archibald those guys are hard to replace. Maybe Khaira too if no nuge?

Pretty sure he got arthritis debridement surgery on his shoulder. From everything I've heard he has pretty bad arthritis in his shoulder, so hopefully the procedure is enough to allow him to play again. Curious if he'd be ready for October, or more like the new year if at all. Fingers crossed for him!
