<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IDKtbh</b></div><div>Detroit declines. We don’t need to take on a bad contract AND retain just to get a future 2nd round pick for Maatta.

Probably one of the worst trades I’ve seen on this site from a sensical standpoint.</div></div>

Well...... Detroit has $42 million committed next year. There's a cap floor and 5 of their 15 FWDS are UFAs. You can look at is a cap dump, or you can look at it as another guy who has underperformed in Edmonton (as many players seem to do there) and might be worth a look cause he's got size and speed. If he doesn't pan out can be flipped as a rental for a late pick at next years deadline or if he has a good season can be resigned or traded for good pick at next years deadline.

So Detroit gets a 2nd, a test drive a player for a year that at worst turns into a late round pick in 2024 draft.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>Jones is an okay prospect but Detroit has his quality in spades same with Benson. For Detroit’s expansion it’s some combination of Hronek, Stetcher, Lindstrom, and Cholowski. Lindstrom’s stats don’t jump off the page as he’s a stay at home D. You also have to protect unsigned RFAs which is why I asked. 1.5M isn’t a whole lot but it takes one of three retained slots and facilitated a trade that doesn’t really make us better. I also know the prospects I’d want would cost more and same goes with the picks. Plus it seems like Holland is going to buyout someone or multiple.</div></div>

I think it could easily be after cause Edmonton can protect Nurse, Bear, Jones...sign Larsson after expansion. But it could also be a different team like LA or NJ.

"Detroit just isn't interested in Koskinen they have 2 goalies who are both better than Koskinen this season."

I guess I should've explained that move......
Detroit just meant to be the intermediary in moving Koskinen. The idea is Detroit has money and isn't a cap team. They take Koskinen and Jones. Flip Koskinen to another team for a late pick and retain $1.5M. Whatever, maybe they only trade a 5th , 6th or 7th in the deal to Edmonton. IT really doesn't matter.
Third team gets a backup for $1,5M for a very late draft pick.
Wings trades a late pick for a late pick. Could be up a round or down a round.

Essentially Detroit buys Caleb Jones for $1.5M for being the third party. Anther squad gets Koskinen @ $1.5M and a late pick.

Needed someone who is looking for youngish assets, has money and cap space. Could be Detroit, could be someone else. If it doesnt work..... Edmonton can buy out Koskinen instead of Turris. Theres enough money for that....
