Even though it’s different drafts we’re talking a minimal difference between those picks since one is late and that other is early.

Leo wouldn't waive to go to the Kings, they would just bury him in the minors. He needs to go somewhere where he may get playing time, Kings have too many players who need to get looks this next season.

Palmieri is not staying for that

Can’t see him getting much more as a UFA

I really can't wait to revisit this one with you lol. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but he gets $5x5 minimum. That's what NJD was offering I believe

no that’s what palmieri wanted which is the reason they traded him. Palmieri is a middle 6 rw right now, he’s not worth 5 mill with a flat cap. Outside of game 1, palmieri has been awful. His puck skills have declined, he can’t create space and he doesn’t make good continuation plays in the ozone. Wahlstrom is carrying the 3rd line.

Change the Red Wings 3rd to a 4th and you've got a deal.

Is Ladd contract gonna be LTIR? Didn’t know he was injured.

I think he was on the taxi squad this year but didn't play any games so I would assume they would either put him on LTIR or they could bury him in the minors for cap purposes.

Deal
