Thread: Realistic TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Like i've stated on numerous threads like this one, the odds of Yzerman retaining on Glendening are fairly slim, Yzerman will want to retain on Bernier, Helm, Nemeth, Filppula or Staal not on a miniscule $1.8 million for Luke Glendening.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>Same story different day wings aren't retaining on LGD</div></div>

And that is why you guys are not GM's, any GM will retain on any player as long as they are compensated for it (unless they are MB who not only gives away players but retains on them as well, Kovalchuck) Kovalchuck was only at 750k and Montreal retained half of that (they should have gotten an additional pick but that is on MB). If the only player who is garnering any interest is Glendening or if they only trade two of them and one is Glendenning Yzerman would retain on him to maximize the return. To say Yzerman won't retain on a Glendenning trade is not correct, perhaps more of a "Yzerman will not retain on Glendenning unless it benefits the Wings" would be more appropriate.

Also, No one wants Filppula or Helm and very few others will want Nemeth, so the Wings won't have to worry about retaining on them. Luckily for the Wings though they are all UFA's at the end of the season so they won't hurt the cap situation going forward (unless the Wings can't hit the cap floor, but I doubt that would be a problem, they aren't after all Ottawa).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>It's very simple he is a UFA at the end of the season and most likely won't sign with Detroit at the end of the season. Plus Montreal isn't the only team interested in Glendening.

How does that make sense? First being able to flip a player isn't a selling point! Why would a team accept a trade were they have to turn around and trade a player and retain half of his salary just to break even. Let's be honest if Montreal could get a 2nd for Armia he'd already be gone!

Come on this is just common sense. Now my brain hurts!</div></div>

1. Armia is more valuable than Glendening, imagine for a second that you had a player like Armia already on your team... you'd be asking for a 2nd.

2. Players getting flipped after being traded is nothing new bozo. See:
- Hoffman OTT to SJ to FLA
- Galchenyuk OTT to CAR to TOR
- Scandella BUF to MTL to STL

Thats just 3 examples off the top of my head in 10 seconds.

And what are you talking about just to break even? Since when does a 2nd and a 4th = a 3rd?

3. I would not trade Armia for a 2nd unless we were sellers at the deadline, which is not likely. MTL has no interest in trading Armia at this time which is why he hasn't been traded.

DET fans blow my mind on this site. (Not all, but seriously what's going on here, a proposal of Armia and a 4th for Glendening and wings fans are arguing no we want a 3rd.... LOL.)
