Trevor Daley... 3 years $3.17M a year

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Bummer! If DRWs suck bad enough, he'll probably waive his NTC

He might not. The Wings sucked last season yet he signed here for 3 years.

He could be looking for end of career stability more than competing for the Cup.

 

[Ezekial]

No it isn't. People are forgetting Daley was terrible in his last couple years in Dallas and was dumped by Chicago for nothing. He had one good year insulated on in an absolutely stacked Pittsburg team then reverted to his usual suck and injuries last year. Daley is not a good hockey player.

Aaaaaand he gets an ntc hahahaha

Yea if you wanna be hemmed in your own zone for his whole shift GirardI is better.

Point is they both suck but ones for two years and ones for 3.

Just stop it. I'd take Daley for 4 years over Girardi for 2.

Deal includes no-trade/modified no-trade clause.

Of course it does.

Because 4 years of suck is better than 2 cause Holland.

Who cares, 3 years dedicated to sucking then buddy. Picks

 

[Heaton]

Of course it does.

That ruins the deal for me, brutal.

3 years of wasted cap space and contract when we're supposed to be rebuilding. Instead of acquiring pieces we can flip or young guys we can gamble on upside were signing a 34 year old busted up defenseman to a 3 year contract with an ntc.

 

[Dotter]

That ruins the deal for me, brutal.

Historically, do many UFA players who sign on the frenzy get a NTC?

 

[Pavels Dog]

Jesus. Complaining about both Witkowski and Daley deals? This is pretty much an optimal FA scenario for us. Short-term deals in an area of need where we have several guys on the way out. Changes nothing about our rebuild either.

all depends on who they sign with

Well scrubs obviously will take whatever deal they can get. But top 4 PMD that log 20 minutes per game might be more desirable to more teams.

Did Girdari get a NTC?

There really is nothing to be upset about here.

I would like them to go after Grigorenko and be finished for the off-season.

Seconded. I wanted Grigorenko his draft year.

Almost maximun tail-end deal on nowadays rules... lowest salary can't be less than 50% of highest salary.

That smells quite obviously "sign for 2,5 years and sell at the 2020 deadline deal".

 

[Bondurant]

Dumped by three teams in three seasons. Surely, he's a winner and a perfect piece for a team built for the playoffs.

Holland logic.

 

[Reddwit]

Not the worst deal. He'll do a fine job replacing the **** defender that Kronwall has become. Just another 4/5 warm body.

 

[gretskidoo]

At least he's better than the other 3m D signings today, so that's good I guess.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

That ruins the deal for me, brutal.

I'm guessing (hoping?) that it's a modified NTC and expires the last year of his deal.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Meh. Daley is gonna look like complete garbage in Detroit.

 

[jkutswings]

I like how the majority of players got signed to either a 1 or a 2 year deal, but Detroit inking a guy to 3 years with a NTC gets categorized as 'short term'.

 

[PullHard]

he wont ruin the tank efforts, he will end up aiding them

he wont look nearly as useful as he did on the penguins

When this is all you got, Holland made an amazing signing.
