Must be another year without the playoffs for me as a Wings fan

I just think you are "under-valuing" Maatta a bit, but I get it, youd rather play Jiricek or Mateychuk or Svozil, or a prospect making less $ than Maatta

I do think someone out there takes Maatta from us, and we likely dont need to retain, but I guess that team isnt Columbus.</div></div>

And that's all I've been trying to tell you. He's not worthless, just not worth it to Columbus. Not sure why Yzerman signed him, either, tbh. No, Columbus isn't good and won't be next year either, but the roster spot being open for prospects to get their feet wet is more important right now than whatever meaningless extra win or two over the course of the season Määttä might contribute.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuzzledActuary</b></div><div>Raymond and Seider take up $16M at most. Veleno gets about $1M. You have plenty to go get a Matt Roy or a Marchessault or someone similar. Edvinsson will be up; Berggren and Soder will probably be up; Mazur can be up; Kasper/Danielson might get a look.

Do you watch the team or just like to whine about nonsense and spew bogus talking points? There is not a single overpaid vet on this team outside of Chiarot, who has been very, very good this year.</div></div>

That quote tells me you don't watch a single game. I've watched about 90% of the games this year, was at the **** show of a game last night as well. Copp, fabbri, perron,maata, holl, petry are all a waste of space. Their production could have been replaced by prospects this year but instead we get to watch guys who are useless and won't be around for the good years. Chiarot has been effective but is still overpaid for what he brings to the table.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuzzledActuary</b></div><div>I watch every single game. They have been fantastic this year as a team up until this rough stretch. It happens to every single team in the league, except for the few elites.

Educate yourself or go watch the NBA.</div></div>

Did you skip December? They were the worst team in the league during that month. They've looked great at times but great goaltending by lyon and a hot powerplay/high shooting percentage has made them appear far better than they are. I'm not saying they've shown flashes but they need to have a few more young guys in the lineup while rebuilding. You can't tell me Edvinsson or Johansson couldn't have matched what maata, holl or poetry are bringing to the table.

Thread: REALISTIC YZERPLAN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GreatWhiteNorth</b></div><div>Massive overpay? By who? .. just because you think you’re giving up a lot of value doesn’t mean you are. What determines the value of your offer is the other team, and like I said this doesn’t do anything for Ottawa so it has very little value for them.

I said they’d want IMPACT roster players, never said young. Berggren is a bottom 6 forward. That doesn’t have a lot of impact. &amp; the picks and prospects don’t help Ottawa now. Why would they use them to go get Hart or Konecny when they already have the assets to get those players? So you’re lessening the value of DeBrincat for nothing. It doesn’t make any sense at all for Ottawa. &amp; frankly I don’t think Detroit has the pieces they’d be willing to move to get DeBrincat so a deal between them probably isn’t happening.</div></div>


This dude about to say “iF deTrOiT wANtS CaT TheY’d HaVE tO TRaDe Seider oR Raymond.”

Cat’s value is lower now than it was last year. 1) less production. 2) Contract. 3) Ottawa had little to no leverage

Ottawa traded for a 41 goal scorer at a 6.4M cap hit.
They are trading a 27 goal scorer at a 8-9M cap hit, who has the leverage and doesn’t want to be there.
I’m not saying it’ll be Detroit, but Ottawa will not get back what they paid for him, let alone more.
