Thread: DRW Todays prediction of opening night after Chicago
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>yeah I hate to agree but I think zadina isn't starting with the big club as of right now. I think he goes to grand rapids for atleast a little while. I cant see svechnikov buried on a 4th line he needs better offensive linemates to see if he really can play in this league or not. its definitely his make or break year and I hope he gets 35 or 40 games playing higher in the line up to see if he has what it takes. Nows the best time to find out. against my better judgement sulak is getting me excited for a d prospect and I hope he gets a shot this year. I think we'll see him and maybe hicketts in the line up to start the season.</div></div>

This is what I think Blashill is heading towards like I said, I would have Svechnikov up somewhere else just not sure the coach can bring himself on putting both Helm and Abdelkader on the 4th line. I am actually half expecting him to play Abdelkader on a "2nd line" and slotting Helm up to a 3rd as well somehow.

Thread: Hope and pray, with a side of Patches
I guess just about anything is possible but the biggest thing I find hard to believe in this whole rumor is Nyquist and Helm okaying a move from one dumpster fire to another dumpster fire. Helm has his money I guess but Nyquist has a chance of one more good contract probably, just seems like he would want to go to the best possible destination to pump in some points for contract talks. Of course maybe the Habs are planning on giving him his money, who knows.

All of that said I don't like sending draft picks out on top of Nyquist right now, Wings need to keep accumulating picks and prospects not sending them out. Would rather send Nyquist out and get something back for the future, don't think the Wings need another 30 year old regardless of talent level when you consider where they are.

So this move is exactly what both teams don't need right now which means these two GMs will probably do it.

Thread: AA For D Prospect
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>And you can't retain more then 2 salaries</div></div>

What is a retained salary transaction/trade
When a team trades a player, they have the option to retain a part of their salary (and cap hit). The team who retains the salary then pays the retained percentage of the salary, and also retains the percentage of the cap hit until the contract expires. The following requirements must be met to retain salary:
The percentage retained cannot exceed 50 percent of the player’s salary (including all bonuses) and Salary Cap Hit.
The same percentage must be retained for both the player’s salary and Salary Cap Hit, and cannot be modified.
<strong>All teams are limited to a maximum of 3 retained salary contracts per season.</strong>
