Thread: Stevie Y gives Ho-Sang a shot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Perlini was traded for because of injuries and Yzerman needed players that could at least keep up and he is no longer with the team. St. Louis traded for DLR for much of the same reason injuries and DLR is a solid player that can play in all defensive situations. Fabbri's career had stalled mostly from injuries and lack of confidence stemming from those injuries. At no point was he black listed by the Blues. For whatever reason Ho-Sang has. I don't know why or who's really at fault and for this discussion it doesn't really matter. Yzerman's history has shown he stays away from players in these types of situations. With a young locker room I don't see him taking this chance. Ho-Sang's play may have made him the type of player Yzerman like but his off ice issues over shadow that. I did say I'm not against Ho-Sang in Detroit but I just don't think it will happen.</div></div>

That's completely fair. Idk, I just thought it was an Yzerman style move to trade for a player who hasn't been given the opportunity to succeed on other teams.

Thread: PLD and going for it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>That’s all kinds of no.

Krejci does not waive for CBJ. Not taking Dubinsky. Remove those 2 pieces. Boston accepts, maybe. CBJ, not so sure.

Jalmy offers very little, decent shot blocker. About it. Rather have Zboril.

I like Foligno. But Ritchie can do the same thing, younger and cheaper. If he does there is no need for B’s to do this. If he doesn’t, no need for Minny too.</div></div>

No offense, but I hate it whenever people say that "this player wouldn't waive" or "why would this guy waive to go to this team". It annoys me because all the trades on cap friendly are supposed to be hypothetical. There's not a big chance of even the trades that make the most sense actually happening. It's just annoying because the entire point of armchair gm is for people to just share their random ideas. I think it would only make sense to say "this player doesn't waive" if it's super obvious and there's absolutely no way it would happen. And even then, sometimes players still waive their clauses in reality. Like I would've never guessed Zach Parise would ever waive his clause until last year's deadline. I know this was kind of random, and I agree with the rest of your points, I'm just pointing out something that bothered me since I joined this site.
