Elias Pettersson Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Detroit now has almost $33 million in cap space... Jake Guentzel Patrick Kane Dakota Joshua Moritz Seider Lucas Raymond I would say $33 million is enough for all of them. Detroit could be good next year... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Rielly & Jake McCabe are legit top 2 defenders as are Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm.

It’s what we paid to shed Dickinson, but I thought Walman was fairly decent. Unless the “future considerations” are something legit (like SJ agreeing to a future deal of some sort).

Narratives turn onto fact. Detroit wasn't shopping Hronek. Allvin recognized that Detroit was taking a step back and weren't quite ready to compete and made them an offer. He dangled a pick that had the potential to become an unprotected 1st. This cap dump is a signal to UFAs that he believes that they are close and will pursue top players to bolster the team to a competitive level. I predict that Detroit is in the Playoffs next year.

Chronic.Canuck Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Stevie Y saw Jake's dance moves and really said "hell naw he ain't doing that in a red wings jersey a third time" Alternatively "you think Lidstrom would ever pull that shit?

bh90 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 yzerman is so overrated trades for Walman, than signs him to 3.4 million contract after only logging 74 NHL career games. than has to pay a 2nd round draft pick to unload him I can't believe 1.5 years ago everyone on the old CDC got drunk on the Yzerman Kool-Aid while calling our management group idiots for overpaying for Hronek they have 12 players under contract and only 32M in cap space. They only have two Top 6 Forwards (DeBrincat and Larkin) and they have a 15M 3rd line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 They ran like 4 or 5 LHD last season. I am not a huge proponent of that working. So it makes sense to move one for cap. But this does tell us that at a minimum it'll cost us a 2nd rounder to move Mikheyev. Walman had more goals than Mikheyev did last year, in 16 fewer games played. And his cap hit is lower than Mikheyev's. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fun city. well when you get paid millions you tend to want a good place With a crime rate of 66 per one thousand residents, Detroit has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 15. Table 2 (below) shows poverty rates by working status and educational attainment for the United States, Michigan, and the city of Detroit. 2 In 2022, Detroit had a poverty rate of 33.8%, approximately 2.5 times higher than Michigan's poverty rate of 13.4%.
