Then we probably aren't in it.
Nah there's been no indication transactions wise that Yzerman will trade picks or upper end prospects for 33 year olds.
Maybe the Canucks want some of that action.

Only got 3 of 16.

Husso wasn't NHL worthy any time I saw him with Detroit. But I love a comeback story. So I hope he gets a shot with Anaheim at some point this season. I'll be watching.
But the more interesting story is if Gibson is traded. If he goes to Edmonton I'll be jumping on their bandwagon so hard it could break an axle!

Nah it's already been addressed many times in this thread, but the Ducks were down to one healthy goalie in the AHL and he's a prospect who isn't ready for the AHL let alone being one more injury away from the NHL. They are trying to get their AHL club to the playoffs, so had no choice but to go out and get a capable AHL goalie. Rather than give up some sort of asset (a pick or whatever) to fill this temporary AHL need, they just used some of their endless cap space and will spend the roughly 1.2M owed to Husso. Plus it gives them a bit of a buffer above the cap floor, in case they wish to sell impending UFAs like Dumoulin or Fabbri for picks.

Detroit is in a position to make the playoffs and I didn't mention rentals. He has made plenty of big moves over the years, dishing out significant assets to do so. His approach with Detroit has been more conservative than it was with TB, but they now have a deep pool of picks and prospects to deal from if necessary. This stuff about his "MO" is irrelevant, eventually you have to give to get. He is not opposed to this at all.
Husso comes off the books after this season anyway, he isn't just clearing cap days before the deadline for no reason. Obviously, Detroit is prepared to take on salary right now if the deal/s present itself.

Nothing but assume he’s coming if he’s able to. Detroit is really good at NOT even commenting on Swedish kids until after their season finishes. They don’t pry. But I assume he’s coming as soon as he can. MBN to GR too.
With Copp out for the year now, that gives them even more cap space. Everything’s on the table. Including retaining for picks on deadline day, if they can’t do what they want.
The McCann stuff is probably legit. The Schenn stuff is also probably legit knowing the relationship between the teams. I know the Byrum stuff was very, very real, but the Cozens stuff is still more media driven. I’m told the DET/BUF talk was always centered around Byrum. If it ever moved to Cozens, who knows. I’ve heard the Ristolainen speculation for about a month now, added to speculation about Drysdale. Detroit’s more defensive oriented scouts have watched Philly more than any other team. I was told back in December that was about Drysdale, but now I’ve heard it’s about either. That Risto has grown on them. Mittlestadt should scare DET fans some, because Yzerman was in on him last year, and the DET scouts have always liked him. Even the beginning of this year. So Colorado watching GR more than once recently is something to keep an eye on. I could absolutely see that happening for those reasons. If they get Mittlestadt though, they’ll have to make a second move for a defensive forward.
Losing Copp is gonna hurt a lot. All those anti-Copp folks are going to see what life without him looks like now, unkess Compher really steps into that role. Copp’s the player a coach just looks at and he knows what to go do. The glue player. So you hope whoever they do bring in, can pick up some of those defensive assignments. Hopefully Rasmussen isn’t out long too because he’s the 2nd player that does all the dirty work. Losing both, you get the results they just got over the weekend. Blowing 2 goal leads late in back to back games.
Think Berggren might finally be on his way out too btw. Heard he’s being shopped for someone who can help them 5 on 5 more.
Things are getting very real. Is he gonna make a core move or punt with more filler type players? Guess we’ll find out, but they will be active. Likely sooner than the deadline.

His recent actions suggest he is prepared to take on a significant player/contract, and to do that you have to deal something of value. Detroit is in a much better position these days to deal from their depth of prospects or full slate of picks if need be. He's not going to pass up a deal because of some made up golden rule, the guy will pull the trigger to help his team. He's not afraid to move regular roster players mid-season either, so I could see Veleno and maybe someone else being shipped out too.

That's very possible but speaking for myself I haven't been talking rentals. When he makes big trades, they tend to include players with term so that's more what I'd expect if Detroit makes a big move here.
And again, it does look like he is preparing to add. Clearing out millions in cap just before deadline says something. Who knows whether or not it will materialize but the signs are there.

Ludicrous speed, GO!
Not sure what Anaheim is doing. They could have likely offered up future considerations for Jack Campbell and saved near 4 mil in salary.
They're paying like $1.2M in salary, not $4M. Caphit is not salary. Either case, Ducks have plenty of cap room anyway.
They want their AHL team to do well to get prospects some experience.

We had an extra first when we made that move. If we had extra assets that valuable I can see it. Cap space alone doesn't mean anything to Yzerman. This obsession with "we have cap space, we HAVE to use it is so nonsensical". If your on the cusp a cup sure. On the cusp of a playoff wildcard? Lol nope. Not how he's gonna do business. Can't see it. He will give up exactly what he wants to give up or just moves on.

Rebooting myself
I think posters are reading too much into this trade. Husso is not an nhl goalie and the two guys playing right now while Gibby is out. Not saying that Gibby aint about to get traded but the guys they have are better then Husso. This is depth for the AHL. Posters talk about money, but we are in the last 1/4 of the season and Husso does not have much money left and ducks got space. Also, they really needed help on the farm

Ludicrous speed, GO!
Pro-rated, sure. But even, then Campbell's salary would have been ~235k vs, Husso's 1.5mil.
(56/82 = ~32% of his salary remaining)
All for a short term injury replacement? It doesn't make much sense without squeezing for an extra asset or two.
Anaheim is
It's clearly Verbeek repaying some favor to Yzerman. Simple as that. Wings clear cap space to make a move before they have to dip into LTIR with Copp being out. Anaheim has plenty of extra cap and Verbeek knows quite well what Husso is at this point.
