I don't think STL has cap space to take him, even fully retained. Is Detroit taking back a contract? Scandella?

 

[DatsDeking]

Walman and Sundquist are the rumored returns

 

[FabricDetails]

Seems like a good deal.

Robbery by Stevie Y

 

[RedHawkDown]

I mean we just got a 2nd back and so that’s a wash, and picked up a couple decent depth players in the process for the corpse of Nick leddy
Solid deal imo

Blues fans are melting down over losing Sundqvist which makes me excited .

Walman also looking good on advanced stats.

Nice to see Yzerman work his magic again.

Shocker, you hate everything lol

About as much as we could expect. Good work from yzerman

It was a full on highway robbery orchestrated by the biggest Blues killer to ever live. Stevie Y has owned us for decades and still does...

 

[better Red than Dead]

The Wings are retaining 50% of Leddy’s salary which made it palatable for the Blues

Well considering how frequently you've said a 2nd for Leddy was overpayment BEFORE he looked bad...

I don't see how you can't like this.

You know, other than wishing for an alternative timeline.

We’re reaching cringe territory with some of these reactions. It’s a plus deal cause we recouped the 2nd we paid for Leddy despite him being a depreciated asset and Sundkvist is a fine depth player, but it’s nothing to circlejerk about. The Yzerman fanboyism elsewhere on the internet is out of control.

Ah, Ah, Hah, Haaaaah! WHAT A STEAL! Oskar Sundqvist is ALMOST a swedish national team player! Someone you plug at 4th line RW after softies, Elias P, William Nylander and Jesper Bratt.

Wiserman has struck gold.

Yes, I wasnt thinking anything higher than a 3rd rounder.

We get a 2nd rounder AND a solid role player who's sadly already probably better than most forwards on our team.

 

[Killerjas]

So basically Leddy and Witkowski for a bottom 6 forward and a 3rd pair defender PLUS a 2nd round pick. Thats a win in my book. Cant be worse then Leddy and AHL'er Witkowski

 

[Hammettf2b]

Just don't answer Stevie Y's calls. Love this trade

I would have been happy for Leddy <> 2nd.

Then Sundqivst is added, to make the cap fit. Ok.

Then there's.... Walman for Witkowski..?

You literally said just today that you would take a 5th round pick for Leddy to avoid a 3 year extension.

 

[Scottgaf1]

An aging, declining, free agent nets you a 2nd, and 2 nhl players, one who will be a fa.

what is the downside here?
