Proposal: Justin Abdelkader for Tom Wilson

[Hockeyholic]

Work for both teams?

Detroit gets a bona fide player who can play on the second line.

Caps get cap relief from a potential Wilson overpay, in addition to a guy who pushes the envelope, but not all the way like Wilson.

No.

 

[Ezekial]

Washington keeps the younger/cheaper/more useful player.

This could be fun, though.

 

[Kolzilla]

Work for both teams?

No, no it doesn't work.

 

[BonMorrison]

What the...

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

No one wants the shit contract of Abdel for a better,younger and stronger player that is Tom Wilson

 

[Roshi]

Yeah, no.

Would be interesting to know the reasoning for the proposal.

 

[stl76]

Don’t think it would work based on cap alone...but regardless I think Washington would still say no.

[Kcb12345]

Don't know why Washington would even consider this. Wilson has been good for them

 

[wingsfan17]

Wings would have to add two 2nd rounders for value to be fair.

 

[PensandCaps]

lol awful for Washington.

Wilson has positive value in a trade.

Abdelkader has a negative value in a trade. His contract is terrible.

There are some trade proposals where there isn't enough going back but here it's actually negative value.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Uh. What in the hell is this

Can edmonton get in on this with some Lucic for Josh Anderson action too?

 

[BonMorrison]

How are the Caps getting relief if they’re taking back a terrible contract???

 

[VoluntaryDom]

That’s very bad for the Capitals

 

[Dan Kelly]

no. after his best ever regular season, Wilson really brought it in the playoffs this year and if not for a bogus suspension would have had an even more impressive post season than he did. and now after the Caps winning a cup and him being one of the major contributors in the post season, there really isn't a need for this trade.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

That's a bad deal for the Caps.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Hell yeah

 

[Hivemind]

I'm definitely not Wilson's biggest fan on the Capitals boards, but what the f*** is this?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

So they trade a guy who MIGHT get overpaid for a guy who's already overpaid, in his 30's and has 5 years of being overpaid left.

Makes complete sense for Washington

 

[jw2]

THis Guy has some of the worst posts and proposals.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Lmao Excuse me while I steal this gif

"potential Wilson overpay" huh?

As if anything they would give Wilson could be worse than that hilariously bad Abdelkader contract.

The scariest thing about this is his profile says he's an accountant.
