Wings love their unqualified RFA's from Chicago eh?

 

[Reddwit]

Ok, Detroit’s gotta be making some trades at this point.

 

[danyhabsfan]

Really Chicago?

Thats all it took.



Less than Domi

 

[Lays]

Stevey Y putting in work today

 

[Coachcorner]

YZERMAN totally killin it big this tyme baby! WE GOTTA LOVE LIFE! This old timer knows and OWNNS the hockey like in the playoffs vs hunter. Injured. Knowers KNOW.

 

[Steddy33]

This is smart move. Kid can shoot and only has upside playing on a better team with structure

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Ah damn... would have loved him in Carolina at that price for a Nino replacement

 

[Riptide]

I know he had a rough year last year production wise, but this seems like a steal of a contract for a skilled middle six winger who has shown that he can produce in this league. Depth guy and all... but probably one of my favorite signing's today.

Stevie has to be working on a trade but i like it only 2 years like Perron

Maybe, maybe not. The roster has a few injury prone forwards so the signings like this really just improves depth. Gotta wonder about Zadina though.

 

[Petes2424]

Talk about filling up a roster. Have to think Bertuzzi or Suter is gone. Probably both. This is another underrated signing.

Copp
Perron
Kubalik
Maata
Chiarot
Husso

That’s some nice adds around their young guys. Have to think Bertuzzi is gone, and likely Suter too.

That's a stellar day's work (Husso notwithstanding). Fantastic stuff by Yzerman. Nobody's easy to play against in that list.

 

[The Red Line]

Love this! Yzerman is having a hell of a day. Have to imagine a big trade is coming.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Guys got a good shot, if they have a guy who clicks with him, some goals incoming. Low risk move. Can't fault it.

 

[North Cole]

Would have liked him in EDM at that price.

 

[Extra Texture]

Really Chicago?

Thats all it took.



Less than Domi

Honestly, what the hell are they doing? A Kubalik at anything close to this AAV would've fetched something in trade value.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

That's very cheap

 

[DeysArena]

A nice low-risk, high-potential reward move.

 

[The Red Line]

A lot of teams owe Chicago a thank you note for throwing so many players away.

 

[Teemu]

Really Chicago?

Thats all it took.

That's much less than his qualifying offer ($4M/yr)

 

[Artemi Panarin]

I don't understand the direction of the Wings at the moment

 

[Wally1112pac]

Kubalik was completely invisible last year.

Like you wouldn't have known he was in the game.

He's worth the gamble for the wings but if he doesn't bounce back he's total dead weight.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Yzerman loves buying low. Not all of them are going to work out but on the ones that do you can potentially flip them for more assets or have another piece of the puzzle filled in.

I’m hoping it means Zadina is gone while GMs might still be silly enough to think there’s an NHL player there.
