I would pass on that... too many years at too high a cap hit for an older player in Abdelkader.Daley (3.17M) and Abdelkader (4.25M) for Turris (6M).
Detroit would get a player, while expensive, that can still contribute.
Nashville would get a steady 3rd D and a less expensive (than Turris) LW.
I do understand that it might be all we can get in moving Turris. But if so, I'd just keep Turris. He's an expensive luxury player to us atm, but still somewhat decent at least. I'd be fine with just Daley, but including Adelkader would defeat the purpose for us. I'd like to clear $6M in cap space, not just $1.75M.
Or at least, I wouldn't shout "DONE!" and run with it. I'd be shopping around more first, and scouting Abdelkader a little more closely to try to gauge if it looked like he might have something to offer on the ice for us. He'd have to look a lot better than I am expecting.
Definitely a fair offer, just not really one I'd be ready to take (yet).
