Z is a lifer. 100% guaranteed he retires as a Wing.

Like Datsuyk?

Pav wanted to leave for a while, Z hasn't suggested anything of that sort

Like Datsuyk?

Datsyuk still spent his entire career in Detroit, But wanted to move home to Russia to be close to his daughter Elisabeth.

Exactly, No comparison between Pav and Z.

McCarron and Mantha are similar prospect, I prefer McCarron but I'm sure a lot of Wings fans wouldn't

I'm not giving up a 1st and a second to get zetterberg from plekanec... and zetterberg's contract isn't looking good while plekanec's contract (still bad) ends after next year

McCarron, Sherbak, Sergachev and Juulsen aren't getting traded out of Montreal. Bergevin just doesn't trade his top prospects, he's been quite clear on that.

Zetterberg is 36 and will be 40 in his last year of the contract. Most of the money is front loaded but will hold a average cap hit of $6.083M so the contract is similar to that of Weber's. Personally, I'm not afraid of these contracts with players like Zetterberg and Weber. 2 things will happen in the last 2 years of the deal. 1) The player continues to be effective or 2) retires due to not being effective and no incentive playing for $1M a year actual salary.

What happens to a teams Cap Hit when a player retires early? The formula of Cap Hit = The sum of the difference between Cap Hit and Actual Salary divided by the amount of years the Player retires early and the Cap Hit goes to the team that benefited from the difference. In Zetterberg's case so far... there is a total of $10.5M Cap Hit that will be divided into the amount of years IF the player retires early. All that goes to Detroit no matter what team he plays for from this point moving forward.

Believe it or not, Nashville will get a $24.5M Cap hit if Weber retires early. If he retires one year early, it's a $24.5M Cap hit. If he retires 2 years early, it's $12.25M cap hit for 2 years. Etc...

Yeah I guess when you put it like that it makes more sense, he just really doesn't seem good enough to be worth the cap hit he carries with him so I figure teams contending could spend the cap space in better places.

Zetterberg isn't good. Trust me, you don't want him Montreal.

 

[CapSpace]

Wings won't trade Zetterberg. Trade doesn't make much sense for Montreal either. They should look to trade McCarron+ for Hanzal

No way we give McCarron and add for half a yeaf of a 35-40 points / year 3rd line backup 2nd line center.

I know Zetterberg is a warrior and all, but is he even a better hockey player than Plekanec at this point? Serious question.
