Yeah, I liked to joke about being buyers, but it never would have made sense. If the Ottawa games had gone the other way, I think the only difference in this year's trade deadline activity on the part of Detroit would be the Hronek trade not happening.

Yeah, I understand people getting hyped about finally being sorta in playoff contention, but Yzerman didn't come here to try and make the playoffs; he came here to build a team that will have a 5-10 year window to compete for championships. It made no sense to be a buyer, not at this point. I could possibly see a hockey trade, but it now seems clear he didn't want to give up assets to acquire a player. He brought on pretty much no salary and accumulated quite a few draft picks.

Don't like the moves that were made and that they didn't unload just about anybody else other than Seider and Larkin.
Perron must be a coveted playoff performer
After nearly 50 years of being Wings' fan I feel like I may switch allegiance to the Bruins
f*** Yzerman. Dumb f***

Caphits for season 2023-24:
IN
Vrana retention 2.625M
OUT
Vrana, 5.25M
Hronek 4.4M
(Sundqvist UFA)
(Bertuzzi UFA)
So from next year's cap, Yzerman cleared 9.65M out and got 2.625M in. ~7M of new space.
Did give a 2.6M raise for Larkin
Did give a 2.4M raise for Walman
Did give a 750k raise for Määttä
-------
Total 5.75M of raises
IN
Vrana retention 2.625M
OUT

Hronek 4.4M

The risk is whether 35yo Perron falls off next season.

Cap space doesn't matter, the Wings can't spend it all. They'll likely be 10-15 under the cap next season unless Yzerman swings some crazy trades.

I agree. Yikes.
Frankl,y for what you had that was truly movable? Yzerman acquitted himself very well. Hronek was a very valuable piece. Bertuzzi was simply not going to be re-signed at the price he wants nor do I think it'll be a wonderously easy sign for any team to give him 7x7 or something. Hell, Yzerman may be able to bring him back, if we're being honest.
Sunny is the "dime-a-dozen" guy that you're sad to trade because you kinda like him, but a fourth rounder is worth more than because you can add that same type of guy like Sunny on July 1 pretty easily.
Vrana was radioactive for some reason. I'm really sad, because I loved the player, but sometimes you just have to cut bait.
Frankly, Klingberg at a 2025 4th? I'd probably like being in on that because it's freaking dirt cheap... but I understand why not.
This was a good, solid deadline. Nothing really to hate unless your only driving force to watch the team was Bertuzzi or Hronek or Sundqvist.
Is that post satire? Is he mad that Yzerman didn’t sell more? Perron is still under contract next year it’s not like Yzerman threw away assets.

Can't blame Yzerman for much here. He's acquiring the right assets, just need them to turn into good players. Teams don't want the rest of our garbage, hence there were no further moves. I doubt most of our players are worth anything at all.
The only move I really didn't like by Yzerman the last 4 years was the Copp signing.

If this is your reaction to this trade deadline, I don't understand how you ever made it past the Adam Oates trade.

Wonder if it was Perron, and Flyers , or rather another team, were one of his NT teams and he wouldn’t waive.

I think if I was going to retain on Vrana or Perron this year, I trade Perron and keep Vrana for now.
Perron brings back way more than a 7th.
Perron has a year left, he'll go next deadline for a pick. We need capable NHL players down the stretch and next year too.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. The ******* Bruins?
