I guess he left out the part where Detroit acquires Kreider. Lets do this:
to DET : Chris Kreider, K'Andre Miller
to NYR : 7th Round pick (much needed Cap room to sign Trouba)
then
to BOS : Chris Kreider, Mike Green (50% salary retained)
to DET : Boston 2020 2nd
then
to VGK : Jonatan Berggren, Boston 2020 2nd
to DET : Rights to Gusev
So we give up Berggren and a 7th and end up with Gusev, K'Andre Miller. I'll take it! Make it so!
