You make it sound like we aren't doing anything for you with a Johnson and Zetterberg trade. Sure we get a good amount of capspace doing that deal, which we need, but we are also providing you with something useful for 5M instead of it being wasted with Zetterberg on LTIR. Sure you could use the 5M Johnson makes and sign Hoffman or Granlund but you haven't so it appears they don't want to go there. You could just let Zetterbergs contract just run out this year and not take Johnson but Johnson will make you better and you will get assets in the deal. Not sure what those will be but I don't think it'll be a massive overpay, maybe 1st + lesser prospect or 2nd + better one. Either way a deal between the two isn't just you doing us a favor, you will be benefiting as well.
Nah. Detroit’s goal this year is a top 3 pick again. Zetterbergs contract means nothing to us. Backloaded. Actual cash is 1 million this year which is probably paid by insurance. His cap hit means nothing to us.
Johnson makes us a better team. No doubt. But is that the goal. You can apply as much lipstick on the pig as you like, this is a deal to help TB. And there will be a cost.
And regarding, the Z contract if you think that’s for Detroit’s benefit, you don’t understand why it’s being talked about.
anyway, I’ll jump out of your forum.
look into it. Could be huge for you guys.
