Good deal for the Wings. A little undervalue.
One thing to think about, which has been DET's MO in the past (not recently, but during the glory years) is the captain is the highest-paid player, or blesses someone making more than him Larkin is still the highest paid player on the team, and he's about to be captain.

3 way blockbuster everyone wins i think v4
That's a lot of cap for DET (or anyone) to retain. 3 years on Dumba, 4 on Zuc. It would be very hard for anyone to justify that without a VERY crazy payout, which I don't think either MIN or TOR would want to pay.
Also, I don't think AA will get anywhere near $2mm+ for a contract. So you probably have a little more cap then what you are presenting here.

I don't think ownership would stop DET from spending to the cap, but this isn't how they are going to do it (or even do it at all, in Yzerman we trust).
LCA needs to be filled, and a winning team is the only way to do it. This still isn't a winning team (even with Killorn and Johnson).

DeAngelo
DET is going to have to make out pretty well from both ends to do a deal like this (DET is probably the only team left to middleman a deal, OTT and BUF are on strict budgets, the Illitches haven't squeezed Stevie yet, and I doubt they will). I don't think a 2nd from VGK is going to be enough for 2 years of cap hit (big difference taking 1 year of hit re: Staal vs. 2 years of hit re: Fleury, plus DET needed a LHD for a year). I can see something like this:
DET receives VGK 2nd round pick (2021), 4th round pick (VGK), Coghlan (from VGK); Khovanov from MIN
MIN receives Fleury (@3.5mmx2), 2021 4th round pick (DET)
VGK receives Stalock, 5th round pick (MIN)

Where They Go From Here
Taking away the obvious concerns (the non-reality of Marner's contract adjustment, the fact that Petro is probably going to VGK, Soupman is going to make more than 1.5, etc), I think this is much closer to a SCF contending team.

Menage a trade
Looking at the trade, DET gets VGK's 2021 1st, and CAR 2021 2nd, for eating 3.5mm x 2 of Fleury's deal. Sounds like a good deal to me (and based on the reporting, that may be the best deal VGK has gotten, as it doesn't have to retain any Fleury salary).
VGK gets $7mm x 2 of cap space
CAR gets Fleury @ 3.5mmx2
DET gets VGK 2021 1st, CAR 2021 2nd.

I'm thinking the AHL season is becoming less and less likely. Veleno's move to the SHL is foretelling. You can't play in the SHL and be reassigned back to the NHL. SHL contracts have no outs, and are for a SHL season. Which is why some guys are playing in the Allsvenskan, which doesn't have those same rules.

I think there could be another deal attached to this. If they are looking to clear off more cap, maybe taking on more cap in trades.
Moving Abs to GR would have only saved 1.05mm, this deal saves ~2.45mm.

Helping TBL and Pens
I had seen that idea somewhere last year about trading/signing/trading back. Even if it's not in the CBA, would the league allow it (it doesn't need to be a CBA violation to get denied)? I'd like to think Yes, but i'm not sure.

I can't see TBL taking on any salary to move Johnson, even with that low buyout number. They could just retain the same number of Johnson and probably get more bidders.

Winning the draft
While I like getting the 1st rounder for NSH, taking on 7.5mm in salary (1.5 from Nemeth, and 6 from Turris) and moving up 20ish spots isn't a deal a GM is going to take. The more realistic swap would be WSH, or DET 64OA pick.

Thread:
Complete Salary Rebuild
Those deals are way off base. Gourde and Johnson are going to require other assets to go along with them, or the return will be negligible at best (6-7th rounders) or both. I think Gourde is undervalued on TBL, he should be playing C (he's a much better C than a winger, he's way more engaged), but that contract is an albatross. Johnson's contract is just as bad, but I'm not sure he'll get better (he's already 30, so he's past his peak value years).
I think the value for Killorn is right, but the team is probably wrong. I'm willing to bet that MTL is the team that goes after Killorn. He probably returns a 3rd round pick (or maybe a 2nd in 2021).

Ladd's contract has the poison pill signing bonus in it, making it virtually buyout proof. NYI is going to have to way overpay for someone to take that contract. You are talking about Dobson or Wahlstrom + Bellows + picks to swallow that poison.

Isn't Dermott and Fleury basically the same person? Their stats and metrics are almost identical. Fleury is a little bigger but other than that you aren't gaining anything...

Thread:
Raymond at 5 or theyre going to trade back
I suspect that Stevie is leaning Perfetti over Raymond or Drysdale at the moment, though Raymond has looked sharp through SHL Preseason and opening weekend. Drysdale is a wild card here, Stevie could lock up the right side of his D corp for years to come, have 2 all-around righties (Hronek and Seider), and have the PP/offensive dman in Drysdale. I think Drysdale would be a lock if he was left-handed.
Perfetti has too many similar traits to Brayden Point for that to be ignored, expect Perfetti scored at a higher rate than Point at the same age (not including the league offensive skews). Both are about 5'10 (though I've seen Perfetti measured in at 5'11 in some places), Perfetti is a little heavier now than Point was at the same age. Same "issues" with skating, similar vision, though Perfetti is known to have an elite brain and compete level, while Point had a better shot. There was also questions about Point's attitude, which Perfetti doesn't have.
Raymond is interesting because you see a combination of Landeskog, Marner, and Panarin in him, with that shot inside the dots, flip passes where he barely moves his hands, and fast feet. If you think Raymond's floor is Landeskog, then you have to take him at 4, because his ceiling is extremely high.

Thread:
Eichel to NY
The Eichel package is about as close as you can get to a real package posted here. NYR is basically trading 1OA (who is a winger), a top 2 dman (he's probably a 1.5D, that on-ice shooting percentage is WAY above average which has helped contribute to his point totals, he could definitely get to 1A dman status though), and a #2 C for a 1C player.
At 23, Eichel is going to get better (he's not at his peak yet), while Laf won't get to Eichel level for at least 5 years (Laf is not in the Matthews/McDavid level, but above the Hirscher level), Eichel has also never played with the same level of talent NYR has on their team, imagine him with Panarin on his wing and what numbers he could put up. BUF needs to be looking a few years out if they move Eichel, which they'd do with Laf.
If I'm NYR, I don't do the trade. I think you've seen from this past SCF that depth is key, you need 4 lines to contribute, and you'd eat up some of that depth with this trade. I'd take your cash and look to add talent on lines 2-4, and also look to the future for contracts (Fox will need one soon, Kakko, etc). I don't think Eichel makes them a contender.

Stats aren't even CLOSE to similar. Wilson is on the ice with one of the top goal scorers in the league (79% of his EV starts is with Ovi) and isn't even scoring at 2nd pairing defenseman rate. No one pays for fighters anymore.
