How is Detroit dumping Husso?

Buyout?

Can't see any team trading for him.

Would Ullmark waive his NTC for Detroit?

Husso is on a one year contract and the assumption is Detroit would NOT be on his list considering it’s a similar distance flight/hub. One year contracts shouldn’t drive guaranteeing a weak positional mix especially with the number of young players Detroit has on its team. They should easily have the salary flexibility to upgrade the position. Cossa isn’t ready to start, but should make for a good backup. Augustine is interesting, but we saw with the kid from Buffalo that jumping to the NHL is difficult.

My biggest issue with this deal from Boston’s perspective is its quantity but not quality.

I’d rather have a late first than a mid 2nd, mid 3rd, and a 4th.

I’d rather have a top 23 pick than two seconds.

I’d rather just trade him for a good prospect by themselves than take this package.

On a side note, I liked how Wotherspoon and Peeke looked like last night. I love Lohrei, but he should be the bench guy right now and just learn.

Also, when does Frederic take a run at Bennett in the next game? You know it’s coming
