WTF?????

And people think Grier sucked cause he had to clean up Doug Wilson's mess, most of this guy's moves have been good. The logic for Goodrow is there even though it's helping a cup contender get rid of the 3.6M. Shame the guy won't see the end of the SJ rebuild with how hasty owners are

Whats wrong with the Griddy. He smooth wit it

 

[Clark Kellogg]

What does this mean??? Is Goodrow going to Detroit on July 1st.

 

[dgibb10]

I expect him to return a 1st next deadline 50% retained. Tbh I would pay a very late 1st for him now as NJD to play 2/3LD

Must be some sort of off ice issue. The Red Wings are not nearly good enough for that 3.4 to matter.

Odd from Walman's value stand point as well. If he was a UFA, 2 years at $3.4M AAV isn't even close to being an overpayment... especially considering what the Wings pay Holl to sit in the press box...

 

[hohosaregood]

Oh eventually he's gonna be too good to deny. But 6 guys currently on the roster, still have to re-sign Thrun, so 7. Mukh proved to be probably their best defenseman in the 3 games he played, never saw the ice again.

Eventually something has to give

Sure but Vlasic, Burroughs, and Rutta are not actual competition. They're just bodies to cycle in and out of the line up. And no guarantees for Benning playing above Shak either.

 

[NoelVilla]

It's all part of the Yzerplan

 

[Mogo]

what???

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I don’t get this. Isn’t future considerations kinda like a “don’t worry about it” type of payment? A 2nd round pick? Walman? Is his value that bad that a 2nd is attached to him to dump him? Something going to come out about him in the near future? Strange

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Walman @ 3.4 shouldn't be a cap dump, so there could be more to this than we know.

I mean, that's #4-4.5D money. He's not overpaid.

At the same time, if you want to clear cap days before July 1st, it's going to cost more than usual.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Did he f*** yzermans wife?

How did he go from a solid #4/5D who makes nothing crazy to needing a 2nd added to get bacj future considerations

Nah, probably one of his smokeshow daughters

 

[SirPaste]

wtf

 

[FoxYou727]

When can we call into question the Yzerplan? Been the GM for 5 years now, no playoffs and signed Husso, Copp, and Holl to ridiculous contracts. I know it is easier to get someone to play in Florida vs Michigan but still

 

[thefutures]

Oh, the clown who did that weird dance? Yea I figured he would have negative value on that alone.

Wouldn't shock me if the genius executives around the league seen it the same way

Stevie has a daughter too, maybe he did a double tap

cap clearing for Stamkos.

 

[dgibb10]

Walman plays some of, if not the hardest minutes in hockey alongside Seider. 20 minutes a night, hasn't been that bad in them.

I still can't wrap my head around this

Say it louder for the people in the back

 

[fmrdh]

SJ could trade him if they wanted to and get at least another 2nd rounder and maybe more.

Admit you are just jealous he has better dance moves and swag than you do

At least didn't rub his nipples.
