For example, Wash has several players to sign and would like to move on from Orpik.
Orpik would only have 1 year left, so its a yes from me. Henkka’s way is good too
I think it be ok if could ship one of our slightly less terrible contracts the other way...for example bobby ryan for abdelkader plus a pick or prospect
This reads as you want to ship Abdelkader + a pick for Ryan. Is that correct? If so, that is insane. If not, it better be a really really good pick/prospect coming from the Sens for us to take on that albatross.
I'd rather sign some UFA and then trade some other roster player away from same position for futures, or for a young player. Then you get EXTRA VALUE for free, and transfer some other value for future strength on the roster.
1. Sign free UFA asset
2. Trade another asset for futures (picks, prospects).

Repeat this as long as it seems you have drafted a new Elite core.

Essentially they've always operated this way, they've just not missed the playoffs and been in position to sell.this. should've started doing this 5 years ago.

Yeah I mean realistically we're gonna be garbage for 3 years at least.If its 1 year I'm fine with it as long as it doesnt block a kid who should be playing. Though I guess we could always send him down to the AHL like what Toronto did with a few guys a couple years ago.
What I'm saying is that we were in position to do that stuff, but teams don't sell while in playoff position. It's an unreasonable expectation that they should do it.name the roster players wings traded for picks/prospects during the playoff streak and the players who kenny signed in UFA to replace them.

We could take on a bad contract for 1-3, or even 4, 5 years and just stash them in the AHL. Obviously that denies some people a spot on the Griffins, but it does mean we're not denying kids spots on the Red Wings. We don't get much cap relief from it but the whole point is we're trading cap space for picks and prospects.
That said, WHAT CAP SPACE?!?!?
That was my first thought, do we even have any cap space available?That said, WHAT CAP SPACE?!?!?
