Long-term paperweights out, plugs for picks in... This off-season is starting just fine by me.

Seems like Hronek, DeKeyser, Staal, Nemeth, Lindstrom, Biega, Cholowski and Seider are probably going to be the 8 D next year

Not much to dislike.
we get a free 2nd and at worst a small buyout of a billionaire family’s money, and at best a plug who actually can play on our third pairing. Nothing to dislike from a team that is going to be bad regardless

Makes perfect sense. And the Ilitch family is on board because this is a great time to be selling pizzas from behind big plastic dividers. It's like they knew, somehow.

The plastic dividers always remind me of when I worked in Pontiac.... bulletproof glass and they hand you the pizza through a slot.

I am guessing cash or later round future draft picks depending on what they do with Staal and how he performs. Maybe some Little Caesars gift cards thrown in.
The thing that works great with Staal’s deal is the term, and maintained flexibility in cap. When it comes down to it at the end of the year, an expiring Marc Staal who is owed $3.2 million real dollars at 50% retention pro-rated will probably cost a team maybe $700k real dollars to add as a veteran depth defenseman entering the playoff push.
If Yzerman plays his cards right, he could potentially retain on Staal at the deadline, and as part of the deal, take on another borderline washed up cap dump with another year and really enhance the value of this deal by returning maybe even a 1st if the stars align.

I'd have though the Wings could've gotten a 1st or a 2nd+3rd for taking on Staal, but a 2nd is still okay. The Rangers should be in that 40-55 pick range next year so it'll still be decently high and as we saw with the Sharks this year sometimes picks can end up much higher than expected.
Hopefully this is the first of many cap dump trades for the Wings this offseason. If they can stock up on 2021 & 2022 picks now the rebuild will be looking up. I think now is a great time to be creative and see if any teams are willing to do unprotected 2022 or 2023 firsts given the top end of those drafts look to be incredible right now.

Dont mind this deal at. Staal isnt what he was but to have for him for 1yr and if next season is a shorten season it's even a better win I think.

Love this deal. Hopefully Stevie continues to buy picks with cap space.

He waived it, probably because he'd rather play on a cellar team than be bought out. It increases the chances of getting signed after this contract expires, even if it's a one year deal like Gagner. Hockey players want to play, not sit around. Look at Howard.... obvious his career is over but he's still talking about playing.
Also, Nemeth is more likely to get traded at TDL than Staal, because he's a legit 3rd pair guy on any team. I don't see a contender wanting Staal unless it's as a short term injury fill in.

Pretty much my thinking as well, Krug was probably a pipedream anyways. Can't see him leaving a contending team like Boston for a bottom feeding team like Detroit. Even if if is his hometown team. Still wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't wind up back in Boston.

- im thinking a big part of this is getting a talented vet dman to mentor seider because weve nobody else to mentor him
- im also wondering what if staal tells yzerman he doesnt want to join team and wings trade him at 50% retained for late draft pick adding up to us buying a 2nd rounder for 3 mil in cap space
- also wondering if this is an indication that there might be a change in cap rules for next season because of the virus that adds up to cap space not going to be as valuable as previously thought

It's sad that another team's salary dump actually improves this team....
Staal > Biega, Bowey, Cholo, Ericsson, Daley, Hicketts, Lashoff, McIlrath, Goloubef
I think Cholo starts out in GR, he actually has to compete for a spot now instead of being gifted NHL ice time just because the team didn't have anyone else. If he's not better than Staal, he doesn't deserve to be on the ice anyways.
