I'd be extatic, depending on the return to ANA.

Double shifting Compher as a major F.U. to Sid.

With so many dead-end vets that are clinging to roster spots we're not a young team... next season Perron and Fabbri atleast should be out and replaced internally with ELCs, when those bottom/middle 6 guys start demanding high dollars swap them out for new ELCs. You have to pay and hold your core and turn over middle of the lineup guys to manage the cap. Having a bunch of high dollar mid players is so 2010s Ken Holland. Someone mentioned the churn of these types of guys in Chicago during their run... Stan Bowman did a fantastic job of cutting middling guys loose when they'd cripple his cap.

Agreed, I'm terrified we'll extend Perron. He's a glue guy, add him to the coaching staff but don't tie up cap and a roster spot on aguy who's showing signs of decline year over year.

Good proposal with Gudas for Holl, the rationale is solid... wish I'd have thought of that a few days ago... Nor a fan of the 2nd proposal, I'd be keeping all my 1st rounders incase an Elias Petterson offersheet was possible.

4-3 we get a single point.

That's from 2005 dude... 19 years ago :-/

Why would NJ help force measly 4th round pick?

I'd love to watch more Griffins games, coverage but it's hard to find so far out of market.

Is Kasper leveling up? Did Yzerman hit another homerun?

The irony that Holl having term lessens his value.

Yea, I get it... but guys can be moved, it's not an issue... Tampa moved far worse contracts and players off their books in recent years.

If you could trade Holl to Anaheim for Gudas it costs you an extra 600k in salary. Anaheim would gain draft/prospect assets and an NHL defenseman to put in the ice.

How about this? To DET: Radko Gudas To ANA: Justin Holl, 2024 3rd & 4th Rd Or To DET: Radko Gudas To ANA: Justin Holl, B level Defense prospect

What?

True but we've got plenty of prospects on tap... I don't think he was ever playing out the full 3 years with us.

This team is awesome... maybe the best deadline deal, is no deal.

I like this news, that signing is iffy... like he's making Walman money...

I'd have not reached into the BCHL for Cholo, that was a low percentage pick. I'm sure there were better picks made 5-10 spots after him, but I can't be bothered to look. Rasmussen is a close 2nd, he was a reach at 9 but that's what you get when you have a dinosaur GM.

I'd rather have drafted Hughes or Dobson in 19. Not that loser Zagina.

Remember there were goofs here who defended and "explained" how Zadina was actually real good and about to "break-out".... Then there's the few vindicated souls who knew all along.

Adding Durzi or Andresson would be an upgrade now and for the medium term, it goes without saying we want to dump 2 of Holl, Matta, Petry and not resign GhostBear.

It makes sense BUT no GM has a leash that long.

Thoughts on this... To Det: Sean Durzi To Ari: Johnny Burgers, 3rd Round Pick

He could probably take Petry's spot.
