Yzerman is still saving every penny possible by leaving all the heavy contracts on the ice to save from using players with two way contracts, so there is no way he picks up a player like Henrique at this price. No way at all.
He is not gonna make any deals that costs more money this season unless 1) it gives him a very big chance of getting a young player for next years roster or 2) it gives him a veteran player he really trusts is worth the pay. And Henrique is not that player given his long contract.
I think Anaheim might have to retain up to 2/3 of his salary before Yzerman might be interested.
Now, I have no idea how far Anaheim will go to get rid of Henrique, but the idea of juggling Nielsen into this is absolutely appealing. Yzerman can easily retain the same 2/3 of this contract no questions asked if Anaheim picks up 2/3 of Henriques salary.
I wonder how long Henrique has actually been a problem in Anaheim. Did any teams have pro scouts there to check him out or is it a brand new situation. That might play a part here. I'm sure Yzerman would want to have a razor sharp image of why Henrique and Anaheim arrived here.
