Confirmed with Link: Russo Traded to Coyotes for Cond. 7th Rd in 2019

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I think Green could a lot of money on a one year deal 8-10m perhaps from a team like the leafs who miss on tavares

No team is giving Green 8-10m on a one year deal Detroit offering Green 1 x 6 is pretty decent. Green wants long term stability it was reported he probably wants 3-4 years at about $5 million per i would say.

What's the condition?

Conditional pick: If defenseman Robbie Russo, traded to Arizona on Sunday, plays 30 NHL games next season, the Red Wings will receive the Coyotes' seventh-round pick in 2019. Otherwise, they get nothing.

Not concerned about it

 

[Ezekial]

I was thinking it would be 20...

Oh well, not much to be gained either way.

 

[SirKillalot]

Is such a trade even allowed? I mean, if he plays 29 matches. He's contributed for them for 29 matches and then Red Wings should get nothing for that?

 

[Fil Larkmanthanasiou]

Yeah, they are spot opening moves. Renouf let walk, Ouellet bought out, Russo traded.

NHL
DeKeyser - XXX (Green, possible another UFA or Faulk-trade)
Ericsson - Daley
Kronwall - Jensen
7. Hicketts

Xavier Ouellet - bought out

I'm 100% sure Hicketts will be up, because he won't go through waivers. Sulak, Hronek, Cholowski, all waiver-free guys will start from Griffins.

Griffins:

LD Libor Sulak --- RD Filip Hronek
LD Dennis Cholowski -- RD Dylan McIlrath
LD Brian Lashoff ( C ) -- RD Vili Saarijärvi

Dan Renouf - let walk
Robbie Russo - traded

Hicketts won’t need to clear waivers until the 2019-20 season.

Conditional trades based on games played happen all the time.

If he plays 29 games, we get nothing.

Most recently I remember we traded for McCollum for a conditional 7th, he didn't play in the neecessary amount of games so we kept our 2018 7th and drafted Otto Kivenmaki.

A bit weird how Russo was able to get a drat pick (albeit a 7th) and Ouellet has to be bought out.

Russo makes less and is also right handed. RHD usually fetch more compared to a lefty of close to equal skill.

I know, but usually the conditions are up or down in terms of which round a pick is. Not, a pick or not a pick. I thought there needed to be value going each way.

 

[ShelbyZ]

Ouellet is making $1,250,000 as a RFA with arbitration. No one wants to pay that. Russo is making half that.

It's also way less than half if Russo plays most of the year in the AHL. He's on a two-way that pays $250k at the AHL level with a $275k guarantee.

I don't think it's that uncommon. When the Red Wings traded Kent Huskins in 2013, it was for a conditional 7th or nothing based on if he re-signed with the Flyers.
