No thanks not trading AA unless an upgrade on our top 4 most likely a top 4 pairing RHD with AA included in a package deal Emelin does us no good.

AA is a huge part of our future and is only traded if there is a young Top 4 RD coming back which is neither Emelin or Julsen so no thx
Totally understand that! I hoped to convince Wings fans to part with him on taking Ericsson at full price for a retained Emelin.
He has this year and next (can be exposed to Vegas too). At 25% retained, he'd carry a 3,075 cap hit
I would do it. I really like AA however I think with the signing of Helm we can use him as a piece to move one of our bad contracts. I don't think Emelin is an awful player...have not watched him a ton though.
EDIT: However, I really really do not like Ericsson.
So Detroit gives up 2 nhl players plus Ericsson and get back 1 prospect, a depth prospect and D-man who is not that much of an upgrade over Ericsson?
Well, it depends how you view it (I do respect your opinion!).
Detroit gives up 2 nhl players ( Sheahan, you're right.. AA might not be on the opening roster, could be!)
+ Ericsson --> not that much on an upgrade.. Emelin is a far superior player than Ericsson + the contract thing. This has value.
Detroit lineup (as I posted, I might be wrong) seems complete without these 2 ''nhl players''.
Detroit gets a potential 4 top RHD. I know Detroit wants that D now, but it's not a bad idea to already have it in the pipeline. He's maybe 2-3 years away to become that guy.
AA
Exactly!!! Neither AA or Mantha should be used just to unload E's contract. They both have way too much potential for such a short term gain.

JE will go on LTIT and/or be picked up by LV(either him or howard as every team loses one guy and detroit wont be putting anyone good up)
AA and sheahan are much better than Juulson and the other kid

Hell no. We don't need to give up players for more cap space for Holland to waste on mediocre craptastic players.

Juulsen is far from a bust. I'm sure you were one of those calling Galchenyuk a bust too. Or maybe your name just says it all.

Please Stop.
Why would Detroit need any cap space?
We can fit this current roster under the cap and start a season just normal.

Doesn't move the needle at all for me as a Habs fan. Sheahan would simply block McCarron. Ericsson's contract is toxic imo, the kind you avoid at all costs in a cap world.
And to the OP, the DD buy-out ship has sailed - this is his last year. Dude's already 30 - that shocked me! Plus, I think Emelin's value is depressed on here because of the sheer volume of Habs proposals he features in - 100% by my unscientific reckoning. Realities of cap situations notwithstanding, retained down to 3M, I think he's rosterable on just about every blue line in the league.

Exactly we will be fine cap wise, Though i wouldn't mind trading JE just not with AA included though.
How will they drop the $4.9M that they are currently over the cap?
My understanding is that a team must be cap-compliant by 5:00PM on October 12 before players are placed on LTIR? Did I misunderstand the rules?

To be honest, i have no idea what to make of the official rules.
Maybe someone knowledgable will help us here.
You can ltir prior to the 12th. It is simply more beneficial to be cap compliant before invoking ltir.
Here is a good breakdown. http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2014/7/3/5865615/flyers-salary-cap-pronger-ltir
