Red Wings get a late-round pick and retain salary.

 

[BinCookin]

Im guessing 33% retained, 6th Rounder

Could also be 50% retained, 5th Rounder.

Which would you guys prefer?

 

[last_sd]

Hopefully not to much retain

EDIT:

6th rounder for less retain.
Pick doesn't matter much. More cap space the better.

 

[SoupNazi]

Goodbye Jakub.

What is left, a 5th?


Kindl was a first round pick, overpaid during his tenure and then flipped for a 5th or worse while retaining salary. Terrible draft pick, terrible contract.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I'm just glad this is done. Now the kids in GR can get a little more icetime.

 

[GBFP]

I'd take a 7th rounder for even less money retained.

 

[chances14]

finally!

good riddance kindl

Well its mostly the contract of 2.4Million for a #6/7 Guy.

Honestly at 1.1Million Kindl is worth a 3rd rounder.

But if you want to compare players to what they are worth vs their draft position... Most of our players are more valuable than where we drfted them.

 

[Vladdy84]

Oh well. At least he's out of the organization. He just never reached his potential and fit in this system. Still could be a decent 3rd pairing offensive d-man somewhere. Thankfully, he's off the depth chart here.

Jakub Kindl will likely join #FlaPanthers from AHL Grand Rapids; went 2-4, 6 in 25 games with #RedWings ... Matheson expected to go back

 

[BinCookin]

I wouldn't be surprised that he excels in a new location. I think he makes their roster next year.

Yeah he never lived up to being a 1st rounder. That said you can't think like that. Lots of draft picks never amount to anything. The fact we're getting even a late round pick for him now is a nice surprise.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Barely any retained, yikes Tallon what are you doing

 

[last_sd]

We WIN!

 

[Jusek]

Good for him, must be a happy fella.

Agreed

Something > Nothing

whoooooo its over

 

[InjuredChoker]

i'll take it.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Only 15% retained is a big win. Clears up almost his entire contract from the books.

nice trade!
