Thread: So much potential
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>Yeah but we are rebuilding, not helping out other team cap problems for free. If vegas wants to pay us to take his enourmas salary then that's fine, if not then you can keep him and struggle through it with 2 goalies making 12-15M a year.

Rebuilding teams like us do not take cap hits to be mildly better during our rebuild, we need assets to take his contract or no deal</div></div>

I would understand your argument if he had 4 or more years left with the cap hit. I would also understand if DET had a goalie prospect they wanted to develop. But neither are the case. Not to mention some moves are made to create buzz and interest. You are so worried about the cap hit which still leaves you with almost $8 million but being mildly better than last season is big. If you're so worried about the finances, then you should all the improvement you can get. Better team=better attendance (at least in hockey markets which Detroit is).

What are you guys talking about? Flower has only two years left on his contract, for a team like DET, his cap hit won't impact the team, and he is able to be a true starters shown by his numbers last season (27-16-5, 2.77 GAA, .905 SV%. He's also shown that in new environment he does really well. He looked horrible in PIT but found his way back with VGK. Now he's struggled a little in Vegas so maybe DET would be a could place.
