It would have been nice to get something, even a late pick for him but he was a free asset in the first place. He had an intriguing skill set for the bottom 6 but ultimately there probably wasn’t a spot for him up front and this Clears up the log jam.

I think a move like this looks good on Yzerman as well. Helping out a player and fellow GM at no harm to you is not a bad thing.

Shit. What's the NHL shops jersey return policy?

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Prettiest player on the team gone :/

Seriously, I was hoping to see him get a shot cause I think he's a decent player. Not too beat up about it though.

If you want a specimen of a man, should think of getting Guddy on the team.

Duct tape and a sharpy.

You pay shipping.

Bye

If you send them the jersey and a crisp $20, they'll take it back. However, you get nothing back.

I’m disappointed by this. Thought he had something.

Does this open the door for Yzerman to sign or trade for an F? We have a lot but keep in mind that Nielsen and Erne are 2 of the 13 Fs listed on capfriendly. I'd imagine guys like Brome and Hirose will be given decent shots at making the team, but I'm just spitballing.

Evgeny Svechnikov is out of waiver options, opens up a spot for him as he has to be on the roster unless he's dealt.

I'd have traded Hirose for a 6th or 7th before Timashov for nothing.

Someone has to want him. And would you trade for Taro Hirose if there were still guys like Haula, Granlund, AA, etc. still available on the FA market for absolutely free and likely to take incredibly cheap deals?

Yep, I'm aware. No, but I don't think any of those others would sign for less than $1.5M, most of them 2x probably (or more). Granlund, maybe $4/1yr, others $1.75-2.75ish/yr is my guess. All at least 2x an ELC salary is my point.

I think you are correct, though Erne or Nielsen could be waived to make room since neither will get claimed. I guess Stevie is committed to his mistake, pretty minor issue though, a $1M 4th liner with no physical presence.

I would just as soon play Giovani over Erne, didn't really see any need to re-sign him.

I think SY wants to create a culture of competition. Nobody's going to be gifted a spot. Maybe Svech because of waivers, but we'll see about that.

Well he gifted Biega and Erne contracts for some reason. Neither did crap last season.

What happens with Svech depends on his knee, if it's not healed by now, I doubt he'll ever be 100%.

Maybe he views them as "healthy scratches", meaning guys you are ok with sitting in the press box 60 games a year. I agree with your earlier post that you would rather see Smith play than Erne, but between the two, if one was going to play big minutes in the AHL and the other would sit in the press box 80% of the time, I would choose Smith in the AHL as well. Now if Erne plays on a regular basis, I'm right there with you.

SY needed warm bodies, so I don't think he "gifted" anything. This team was just so bereft of talent, and he had to start somewhere. Biega and Erne, as well as Perlini and a couple others were "throw something at the wall and see if it sticks" signings imho.

 

[Henkka]

There's now also rumours about Tyler Johnson going for Zetterberg's contract as a base.

 

[r0bert8841]

I believe the Wings were 1 player away from the max number of roster players, so this opens the Wings up to acquiring another player.

 

[CREW99AW]

I am a little surprised Detroit didn't ask for JHS. Each youngster looking for a fresh start. JHS requested a trade last yr and was probably shocked and unhappy the isles qualified him. My guess is he'd hoped to get a training camp tryout with another organization. I'd like to see him stick and succeed in the nhl. Even in another organization.
Any idea if SY ever showed interest in JHS?

Josh Ho-Sang? ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT!

I agree with the initial acquisition of all of the players. However, there was no need to extend Biega or Erne, and now there are much better player in UFA that can be had for the same amount of money.

It's a minor issue since the Wings will still suck, but those two contracts were mistakes. Nothing that matters in the long run, as long as he doesn't make the same mistake this offseason.
