I think because torts would've still been under contract were he not fired..? whereas Babcock was done with his contract. I don't know, I never really agreed with the compensation rules (at least as far as coaches who finished their contracts or were let go)... and they only lasted a year. we just got lucky that they were in effect when Babcock left https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-to-end-coach-and-executive-compensation-policy/c-791590 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBD10 11 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 14 hours ago, Datsyukian-Deke said: Beginning to face the inevitable. It being March 2nd and still having Smith and Vanek on this team. It seems we can't even sell the farm correctly. Hope I'm wrong but im preparing to be right. I would agree in years past. But there is no way that Holland doesnt sell Vanek. As lazy as I believe he is, no chance he wastes an opportunity to look like a genius signing Vanek for next to nothing and then flipping him for picks only to sign him back at the end of the season. I think that is done, its just a matter of how much he can squeeze out of it. Im willing to bet, there is already an offer on the table that Holland will take for Vanek. He has that team on hold until late tomorrow and will wait to see if anyone will beat their offer. Its smart, especially in this deadlines climate. Same goes for Smitty now that Shattenkirk is off the market. Somehow he is the best available now. I dont believe u see them move until tomorrow closer to the deadline being the top available at their positions. It SHOULD be a bidding war until the last few hours of the deadline. What should be interesting is Sheahan, Nyquist, Howard, etc. Those deals, I believe, could be made today if they are going to happen. Either way, Haznal and Shatty deals are very very good for us. I dont think we need to meltdown yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, I would agree with you, not worth getting rid of him if all we can get is a middle round pick. 2 amato and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 1 minute ago, Bump said: Why sell Sheahan now? Sell low, buy high? Sounds like they're very much not interested in selling low.. rumored to cost a first round pick for Sheahan. That leads me to believe he's not going anywhere. But a first doesn't sound low even if he were having a decent year.. I'd take it. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He could possibly bring more in return than either Vanek, or Smith. Ansar has reported Wings wont be interested in selling till next season if it happens. Hes the cornerstone of the D.
