Yeah no thanks, Detroit needs solid Top 4 LD help not a RD like Tyson Barrie.

I'm an oilers fan and would love for all of this to come true but go look at cap friendly for comparable contracts to Pulj and Yamo. Guy's that are in the top six around .5 points per game.

Likely 3-4 million each, very similar contract I think to Debrusk (4 million), Fabbri (4 million), Greenway (3 million), Piers Suter (3.25 million).

But i doubt the oil resign Kane so take his 4 million salary and allocate that to Yamo and Pulj increased salaries so should even out.

Plus IMO you have to give up a pick for Barrie (not because he's a bad player just because that's the cost of moving out money). Detroit's or any lower tier teams cap space is an asset, they don't really need Barrie if they aren't going to be good anyways and could sign/trade for a cheaper player. So IMO a pick is going to be required to move him out

Why does anyone think Kassian is worth anything?

Yamo and Bison King get paid the year after when there is more money available. Keith and Smith likely retire, cap goes up, Lucic and Sekara dead cap done, etc. Your comparables (all 4 of them) are 2yrs older than the oilers guys so at that age they get to sign bigger contracts closer to their UFA status.

I think Kane is going to stay...he has less chance of getting into $ trouble in Canada plus he gets to play with McDavid. Maybe he just takes another 1yr and hopes for a raise the year after.

Barrie to DET was a random choice. Could be anyone...point is they need a 2nd round draft choice for him.

The Devils likely decline, as they probably won't be moving positive assets for a bad player. And they should offersheet Puljujarvi if you're only going to give him a year and 2M
