Akakabuto 1,750 Report post Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) If you offersheet someone, is there a minimum on the number of years you have to offer? Could we, say, offersheet Trouba for one year at 9-11 milion(or whatever number Win cant match) for one year and then sign him the next year to a more reasonable cap hit.

(I have not checked how many picks that offer would cost us) As far as I know there's no minimum requirement for number of years on an offer sheet. For that reason, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to do what you're suggesting because of the draft pick compensation. $1,339,575 or below None Over $1,339,575 to $2,029,59 3rd Over $2,029,59 to $4,059,322 2nd Over $4,059,322 to $6,088,980 1st, 3rd Over $6,088,980 to $8,118,641 1st, 2nd, 3rd Over $8,118,641 to $10,148,302 (2) 1st, 2nd, 3rd Over $10,148,302 (4) 1st If you offer sheet a player at a huge salary, regardless of term, you'd be on the hook for four 1st round draft picks. If the plan is to re-sign him the following season at a lower cap hit, you might as well sign the offer sheet at a lower cap hit, longer term, and only give up a 1st and 3rd or a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at most. I'm not really for any offer sheets, but definitely not on a player that could be a free agent as early as next year, who is also from Michigan and grew up a Red Wings fan... I could hear the argument on an offer sheet for a player like Kasperi Kapanen though. The Leafs will be up against the cap once the Matthews contract kicks in, and Marner and Johnsson are re-signed. Maybe offer Kapanen 4-6 years at $4.05M. If he signs, and the Leafs don't match, that would be well worth the 2nd round pick in my opinion. 1 Akakabuto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,959 Report post Posted April 18, 2019 12 hours ago, krsmith17 said: I agree with pretty much everything Iyer says in this article except for (again), I think we should utilize the buyout on one of Daley or Ericsson this offseason. The savings this season, as well as the extra roster spot is more than worth the extra year of the contract at less than a mil. I think we should be making room for all three of Hronek, Cholowski and Bowey in the top six, to go along with Green, DeKeyser and Ericsson / Daley. I agree that Byram and Cozens should be our main targets if they're available at 6. I agree that we should let Kronwall and Vanek walk. I agree that we should stay away from any and all free agents. I agree that we should stay away from offer sheets. I agree that we should utilize our extra cap space to take on a bad contract to acquire assets. I even for the most part agree with his 2019-20 lines and pairings... just move Bowey in for Daley. As much as I am for wheelin and dealin, I can agree with these as well. Although I'd give Kronner a 1 yr and buyout Ericsson and Daley, but that's neither here nor there because more than likely either of them will be rotating in and out of the 6th spot. I think Cholowski and Rasmussen both need a full year in GR, but if they have "grown" more by next season, lets give them spots. I'm all for kids playing. With the recent success of The Isles, I'd entertain the idea of asking Nielsen if he'd waive to try and win a Cup next season with them. Valuable spot. But his contract just may keep him here for the life of it. 3 hours ago, krsmith17 said: IF Trouba is a UFA after next season... He's an RFA after this season, so although maybe unlikely, they could sign him long term this offseason. Trouba is an RFA this summer and a UFA after the length of his next contract is over. Seeing his history with The Peg, it'll probably be just 1 year, because I highly doubt they'll give him anything north of $8M, which is probably the range he will be looking for. I say no to offer sheets, they will probably match anything under $6M and I'd hate to give up the compensation for anything above it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm all for kids playing. I don't get why so many people think Cholowski needs a full season in Grand Rapids. He was our best defenseman for the better part of the 1st few months last season. He hit a brick wall, and really tailed off after the midway point. It happens. With a full summer of rest and training, and knowing what it takes to play in the NHL, I think he could step into the lineup right out of the gate once again, and be better prepared for the grind of a full NHL season. I agree with Rasmussen, but not necessarily because I don't think he's NHL ready. It's more so because I'd rather see him be a go-to guy and get top line minutes in Grand Rapids, than see him stuck in the bottom six in Detroit. 18 minutes ago, LeftWinger said: With the recent success of The Isles, I'd entertain the idea of asking Nielsen if he'd waive to try and win a Cup next season with them.

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted April 19, 2019 Next season the Wings need 3 young D in the lineup. Use Ericsson as the #7, if Kronwall comes back dump Green or Daley. Pair a vet with a rookie on each pairing. The D will still be bad, but there should be improvement as the season goes along. Hronek, Cholowski, and whoever plays best out of the rest of the group.

I really don't want to see any buy-outs until we need to do them. I feel that we could trade Daley to a team like Pittsburgh if we retained 50% and asked for peanuts (ie. a conditional 7th).

I do think we now move on from Kronwall/Vanek, which I'm hoping for! 100% on the hockey trade thing. This is something that Yzerman has shown he is willing to do with moves like the St. Louis for Callahan deal (though his hands were kind of tied) and more recently the Sergechev for Drouin deal. I hope so!

This is one big problem that will hopefully be addressed over the next year or so. You're absolutely right, Luke has been a third liner. But only because guys like De La Rose and Ehn are on the team. Getting Svech, Ras, Zadina, and Veleno into those middle six roles should push Luke, Helm, and Abby down the lineup where they belong. A fourth line of Helm-Glendening-Abby isn't terrible. A third line with those guys on it is a disaster. Since buying out Abby or Nielsen would cause as many problems as it would fix, I'd probably try to trade Helm. You'd get a taker, especially if you retained a bit of salary. Then make Nielsen-Glen-Abby your fourth line.
