Thread: Best Guess
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marino4Norris</b></div><div>Explained it a bit above, basic idea is that a defensive 3RD is easier to find than a starting goalie and Lindstrom, while being a competent NHL prospect, doesn’t really have that high of an upside

Also of the belief Yzerman wants to compete as soon as possible, don’t think any of the goalie prospects could compete sooner than 3 seasons from now

Signing Murray to a 3-4 year contract to bridge that gap makes a lot of sense, helps Detroit build toward being a contender</div></div>

I get that but I just don't think trading Lindstrom to get Murray is worth it. The other thing is if Pittsburgh had the confidence in Jarry to be their #1 goalie why didn't he start in the play in round instead of just playing in the last game.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hotNreadyWings</b></div><div>Maybe. But honestly I don’t see any potential for lindstrom past a 3rd pairing right d, and his value will probably not get any higher than now unless he takes a leap forward.
Way I see it. Bottom pairing D prospect and a 3rd for a starting goalie for a couple years until dipietro takes his job</div></div>

Yeah but he is a defensive defenseman and won't put up big number. Now he is mature beyond his years, he doesn't get forced into making bad plays turnovers. He is basically a perfect 3rd pair defenseman and I bet he starts the season in Detroit and he is also expansion exempt freeing up a spot for Detroit protect another player. Murray's regular season numbers are really average. Check out the link below is cumulative goalie stats from Murray's rookie year through the 2019-2020 season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>After Kessel's summer bonus, he's only owed 7M more on his contract, so Detroit's share comes to $1.75M (edit, that's total, over both years).

Some team would take that.

But I also took Zetterberg's contract. He's only owed 1M salary this year, and I don't know whether it's partly insured or not, but that opens up cap space for Detroit to take on other LTIR contracts for more draft picks, this summer. Since both are things Detroit fans on here are talking about, I figured that could have significant value as a sweetener.</div></div>

Zetterberg doesn't cost Detroit any cap space. They can get it all back if needed. So taking Zetterberg's contract doesn't help or hurt The Wings. So Detroit giving up anything to take Z's contract isn't going to happen.
