Thread: Trouba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dca919</b></div><div>Mike Green has a full no trade clause until Feb 2020. There is no doubt he would veto a trade to Winnipeg. Beyond that: why do you think Trouba is going to hurt himself monetarily?
<strong>
negotiating a long term deal while a RFA means:
1)less teams can enter the bidding (due to needing assets plus cap room to negotiate vs simply cap room) which means less money
2)he doesn't get the benefit of a rising salary cap in the 20-21 season which means less money
3)he doesn't get the benefit of more teams having more money due to expiring contracts in June 2020 which again means less money
4)he doesn't have final say in where he goes...Jets management still does
5)he does Jets management a favor on his way out the door (after they played hardball and had him sit into the 2016 season, took him to arbitration in 2018, and are openly shopping him now).</strong>

I get why the Jets want a sign-and-trade deal...I just don't get why Trouba does? It's better for him to sign a 1 year offer sheet and get to UFA while taking out an insurance policy guarding against injury risk.

Oh and Rasmussen is going to the AHL (no Jr transfer rights keeping him in the NHL anymore). Svechnikov's got another year of waiver exemption because of the ACL tear so he won't be on the Wings to start. And Zadina could use more time in the AHL based on his last year trial unless he blows away the coaching staff in training camp. <strong>Abdelkader is not playing on the top line.</strong> Finally De La Rose has been medically cleared, do you have information otherwise?</div></div>

DLR should be done but won’t give it up. He’s been treated for the same condition 3 times now. I wonder if they wings keep players down and sign veterans to flip at the line then bring them up

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dca919</b></div><div>League sent out a memo to all teams that this maneuver was effectively banned going forward after Orpiked happened (just like the Sean Avery rule wasn't there so he could face the goalie but afterwards no one else could). <a href="https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/31-thoughts-examining-erik-karlsson-trade-fallout/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">scroll to point 14</a></div></div>

Was unaware of that, in my opinion it’s a joke that it’s illegal. It is not in the cba and the nhl just gets salty when teams figure out ways to be in the gray area. Just like when teams use to add two years of 1 million to lower a players AAV, it wasn’t illegal until they updated the CBA. Bettman sucks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>My question is what are you giving Detroit for taking on Marleau and Zaitsev cap hit. Nothing. You are dumping your cap problems and giving nothing of substance and taking a young RHD. Zaitsev for abdelkader might be in favor of Zaitsev but he carries one more year at a bad cap hit. So it comes down to Wings taking on Marleau's cap hit and giving up Bowey and eating half of Daley cap hit for Brown. Again there's no value for Wings to make this trade.</div></div>

Detroit rids itself of abdelkader. He has no purpose on the team anymore. Zaitsev and DK would become your second line shut down for the next few years letting the kids develop and not having to go against the star talent. Zaitsev isn’t bad just his contract and he just needs a change of scenery. Moving daley for brown is a wash and bowey difference is what makes the difference in the abs for Zaitsev

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>sure but zaitsev has much more value than abdelkader. He is a young d man who was actually good in his first year but his deployment over the last two years has made him significantly worse. He found his game again playing with muzzin at the end but the reality is the leafs cannot afford him. I know most people don't think this but I think the leafs will actually get something back for him because of his potential. Same goes for brown. 20 goals as a rookie, then demoted to 4th line. I am not saying this entirely fair but its not terribly far off. Maybe add a pick or two</div></div>

My thoughts were Detroit would end up flipping brown for picks and putting dk and Zaitsev together as there “shut down pair”. Marleau cap hit means nothing for a rebuilding team that has salary to spare, it is gone next season along with oullet
