Confirmed Trade: [DET/EDM] Kailer Yamamoto and Klim Kostin for future considerations

[Mr Kot]

wat>?

 

[Hisch13r]

Look at the Yzerplan go…

 

[Seachd]

Holland and Yzerman make a trade and it's Yzerman making us scratch our heads?

 

[syz]

I guess it's possible that he still signs in Detroit and they just didn't QO him to avoid an arbitrator potentially giving him too much? But also now he can sign anywhere as a free agent so idk.

 

[Ulf5]

Bullshit cap cicumvention going on.

Bullshit cap cicumvention going on.

By who?

 

[Ulf5]

By who?

Edmonton dumping cap without penalty.
Here take these players for nothing.

 

[Scintillating10]

Are Oilers keeping McLeod. Canadiens have caproom to take him

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Edmonton dumping cap without penalty.

You're joking, right?

 

[lakai17]

Hilarious that they had to literally give them away for free as a pair.

Well there is Holland and Stevie Y history so the Wings could of had a trio coming back in actuality.

 

[Senor Catface]

Hahahahahahah Edmonton got ROBBED.

lolol

 

[Coffey]

lolol

We sure paid the iron price!

The fact that it's been happening since 2005 doesn't make you think it might not be "cap circumvention"?

 

[RedHawkDown]

If Kostin isn't signed, that's a huge fail by Yzerman. No defending that. You just ate cap for another team for literally nothing.

Sounds like he wasn’t qualified. Kostins agent is being an idiot which is what spurred this whole situation in the first place. Even Stevie maybe figured the price wasn’t worth it.

 

[deca guard]

im getting the idea yzermans working on a longer than 2 year contract . has til noon tomorrow

Wouldn’t it make sense to qualify him anyway?

 

[JAK]

What kind of blackmail does Holland have over the Redwings organization??

 

[Bryanbryoil]

If Kostin is being completely unreasonable, either he has a specific destination in mind in the NHL or he wants to go home to Russia. I'd love to have him back but if 2 teams with experienced GM's aren't willing to put up him him or his agent then something is wrong.

 

[Seachd]

Wouldn’t it make sense to qualify him anyway?

Not if they’re worried about arbitration.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

It's not blackmail.

 

[Homesick]

First dozen pages....Oilers wasted two first-round picks(idiots aren't even smart enough to realize Kostin was acquired for a former 3rd round bust)

Now it's all crying about some perceived cap curcumvention.

 

[La Bamba]

Yzerman did Holland a favour so I won't mock him. I'm thinking it's related to the 2020 TDL where the Oilers got Mike Green for a 4th, played 2 games, COVID hit, and he retired. Or AA being complete ass after the Oil payed two 2nds.

It'd be funny if Yamo came back at league minimum and Kostin eventually circled back to the Oilers

 

[Czechboy]

Yam got bought out.. I was dead wrong!

 

[MOGlLNY]

Not that i care that much because I like the Oilers and wouldn’t mind them making a run.

But if Red Wings don’t retain anything rim this trade, if this isn’t blatant cap circumvention I’m not sure what is? Yzerman helping out his buddy.
