Nope. If the Wings were thinking of anything like this we would have picked up Tyler Johnson. I feel like Yzerman has probably decided with the Staal move that if we are going to take out big cap hits that he wants compensation. Henrique no doubt is an improvement but no way Yzerman offers him that contract if he was a free agent and its July 1st.
His advanced numbers are good and he was a .5 PPG the last two seasons. That contract is a nuisance, but it wouldn’t be a handicap. Plus, I feel like this is a guy Veleno could learn a ton from.
Henrique and a 2nd for Nielsen and I think about it. Similar cap hits but Henrique is a lot longer term so that’s where the 2nd round pick comes in. Even that I’m not sure I do it.
Is his contract *that* bad?
How much cheaper should we expect a 2C to be?
Obviously he has fallen from grace. I mean if he is really playing up to expectations would he be on waivers?
On the other hand if he improves our Center depth we have to consider it. I’d be willing to offer Nielsen/Filpulla straight up. Anaheim frees up a roster spot and cap in the next year or two.

Think the contract length is to long. We are soon rid of our own bad contracts dont want to take a chance in this one.
No thank you. Too much term & salary; Ducks are doing the same thing we ought to be doing / holding the line on: clearing the way for youth

If he had one less year on his contract I'd say it would be a no brainer. Anaheim probably wouldnt chip in a draft pick to move him either. Shame we could really use him.

Too much time left on his contract at that caphit, or I’d do it.
He'd make the team better. At the same time, picking him up doesn't make sense with what the Wings decided to do this year. Aside from playing the kids, I'm to the point of just riding this year out, letting salary come off the books, and maybe Yzerman will pry Ilitch's fingers off his wallet next offseason.
Not a chance we go anywhere near that contract

If we didn’t want Tyler Johnson off waivers, we shouldn’t want Adam Henrique

If they think he'll do a lot better with a fresh start, it could be a smart move. You could be able to trade him at the deadline if you retain. Something out of nothing.
It could also give you a scoring line capable replacement for a certain underperforming star winger, should you decide to make a trade.

$5.825 Salary = Yuck x2
Cap Hit = Yuck x2
3+ more seasons @ Yuck$ x3
Declining production = Yuck
31 = Yuck
Aging = yuck
Horrid start w/lottery team = yuck (but kinda understandable too) w/4pts, -8, 16gp
In Danger of production falling off cliff (already is) = Red Alert Yuck
Insulates C depth & "possible trade chip" (nobody is trading for Adam w/o 50% retention). Ok & yet another Yuck x 3.
TOTAL:
Long term Optics = Yuck x 16
I don't give a F**k, that's a lot of Yucks.
P.S. we'll already have a logjam @ F in '21-'22, like we do now. JV/Berggren + Ras/Smith/Hirose/Svech, maybe Pearson?

that’s an awfully big contract to be okay with getting a late round pick if you retain 50%.
Too much money for too much term for not good enough of a hockey player. Simple

Naw, if you were going to pick up a guy like this, you pick up Tyler Johnson when he was available.

Who said late round pick? Henrique had 26 goals last year. If he finds his game and you retain 50%, that's a nice deal for a team going all in.
