I'm not sure why so many were clamoring to trade Perron. We saw repeatedly how hesitant teams were to take on term. He will be more valuable next year when he is on an expiring deal.
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
what the hell?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***
50 years and this is the year that broke you lmao? Don’t come crawling backDon't like the moves that were made and that they didn't unload just about anybody else other than Seider and Larkin.

what the hell?
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.

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.Don't like the moves that were made and that they didn't unload just about anybody else other than Seider and Larkin.

If this is your reaction to this trade deadline, I don't understand how you ever made it past the Adam Oates trade.Don't like the moves that were made and that they didn't unload just about anybody else other than Seider and Larkin.

Wonder if it was Perron, and Flyers , or rather another team, were one of his NT teams and he wouldn’t waive.View attachment 662435
I would love to know what other trade Stevie was trying to pull off before this thing came down
I think if I was going to retain on Vrana or Perron this year, I trade Perron and keep Vrana for now.The risk is whether 35yo Perron falls off next season.
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 like the moves that were made and that they didn't unload just about anybody else other than Seider and Larkin.
