Thread: Its me Ken Holland
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Interesting. I mean... Lafferty is probably worth a 3rd TOPS. Barrie, considering his cap hit and defensive deficiencies, has also been rumored to be worth a 3rd, MAYBE (but doubtfully) a 2nd with retention. So, CHI flips him over the summer or next year and could potentially end up with more than they would get for Lafferty, at the cost of helping EDM's cap situation a bit. Only thing is, he eats a roster spot, which we might need if Davidson wants Regula and/or Mitchell to get legit NHL time by next season. I think CHI possibly takes that bet though, and sends Mitchell down for the rest of the season to play bigger minutes in Rockford.</div></div>

Tricky for sure. I thought it was interesting when I threw it in there. I feel as though CHI could absolutely flip him next summer, whereas Lafferty checks off a box of higher priority for the oil.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newoilers</b></div><div>first your going to have to give a first round pick and a third round for Strome and you won't get Kulak that chaep he will be around 3 million to 3.5 million perseaon on a 4 year deal</div></div> agree to disagree about kulak. I think If he gets term, like 4 years, his number will be less than 3m. I’m probably optimistic but my guess is 2.75. Strome isn’t getting qualified and will be a UFA which is why I have 0 compensation going to Chicago.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>Detroit already have 11 top-3 round picks in the next two years and there are more to come from taking on cap dump deals of players that are actually useful and fill a need and will play on our roster.

If two teams were to approach Detroit asking us to take on cap to facilitate a trade between them then it will, of course, be looked at. It is, however, a completely different thing to take on a player not knowing if you can get rid of him again. Such a deal would always have to be negotiated by the two teams selling and buying the player, see the Savard deal between CBJ and TBL only two months ago.

There isn't a shortage of deals available for Detroit this offseason. There are few teams with spare cap and a lot of teams in cap trouble. Detroit cannot do all trades they're offered, there's both a 50-contract limit as well as a 90-rights limit and Detroit have to sign a lot of players to fill the two rosters in Detroit and Grand Rapids as well as make sure they don't have to get rid of their picks because they are up against the limit.

Detroit will simply put pick the deals that are most advantageous to them and say no to the rest and one very big part of that is making sure that the deals work both in the short as well as the long term for us. So, no deals for players we have no use for, roster spots in GR are for our own prospects, not someone else's castoffs, and no trades for players in positions where we have no roster spots for them.

Detroit's current needs are; a 2C (like Tyler Johnson), two LD (one veteran on a two year contract like Gardiner or Gostisbehere + a young good top-4 like Vince Dunn), waiver exempt B (or better) prospects (several needed on all forward positions) and one exempt RD that's good enough to do injury call-ups without caving.</div></div>

Listen Steve Yzerman, I know you have no interest in 2M for one year and 3 draft picks. I’m sure Holland can facilitate this deal elsewhere if it’s available.

I figured you may want the three picks as ammunition to acquire a player you described to hurry up your own rebuild as I doubt you’re spending to the cap this year anyway.
