LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted July 31, 2021 Kase and Ritchie both to Toronto. Cap circumvention coming up. I still maintain you shouldn't be able to sign a player if you don't have the space. You should have to clear space beforehand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F.Michael 4,590 Report post Posted August 1, 2021 3 hours ago, blueadams said: If the two sides you're referring to are Steve Yzerman and the Illitch family. Bert's 26 and probably the 2nd or 3rd best player on an NHL team. He just got a show-me contract. Yzerman really pulled off an amazing deal for us here. Good deal for lil'Bert in that he's been given a solid raise and at the end of the contract (barring any serious injuries) he's young enough at 28 to sign for an additional contract be it with Detroit or somewhere else - likely for more $$$. Good deal for Detroit in that we'll have him for a prime 2 seasons in which he'll be motivated to show that he's worth his new contract and if there are significant injuries in that span (crosses fingers hopefully not) Yzerman doesn't need to worry/LTIR. Like I said - it's a good deal for both sides. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted August 1, 2021 4 hours ago, blueadams said: I like Bert a lot. I just think he's a little old for the rebuild and that his body's already starting to break down a bit. I think we could swap him for something younger and of equal value. Agreed. 4 hours ago, blueadams said: Bert's 26 and probably the 2nd or 3rd best player on an NHL team. He just got a show-me contract. Yzerman really pulled off an amazing deal for us here. Eh, I dunno. While Bertuzzi is indisputably a very solid NHLer and indisputably one of our better players, he's not your typical Very Solid 26-Year-Old in Need of a New Contract case. Consider: > He has 2.5 NHL seasons under his belt. That's a small body of work, a small sample size. > His season point totals: 24 (48 GP), 47 (73 GP), 48 (71 GP). Not good enough to render the aforementioned sample size consideration moot. > He missed pretty much the whole 2020-21 season because of an injury. While he did put up an impressive 5 goals and 7 points through the 9 games he played, his even-strength zone starts split was OZ-60.3/DZ-39.7 and his shooting percentage (25%) was unsustainable. > He's coming off back surgery. Point being: Bertuzzi didn't necessarily have a particularly strong case for anything more than a show-me contract. Even if he did, I'm sure he understood that trying to twist Yzerman's arm by sitting out would not be a smart play, as 1) everyone knows an RFA will get zero concessions from Yzerman in a holdout war, and 2) if he wants that big next contract, whether it's with the Wings or a different organization, he really can't afford to be sitting out. In any case, Bertuzzi's days as a Wing probably are numbered. I dunno that it's as sure a thing as some people here are making it out to be. But, yeah, it's probably where we're headed. 2 F.Michael and 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like kind of a dikk move. Was reading on the Bruins side of things over at HF Boards that Sweeney likely knew a few plus weeks ago which sorta makes sense considering he used up cap space when UFA began. The thought is Sweeney gave Krecji the time to make his announcement as things settled down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
