Trade him and never look back. I have a strange feeling that the wings are going to look dramatically differently 12 months from now. You know there is going to be another high end prospect from the 2019 draft ( Hughes, Turcotte, Byrum).
Additionally, I could see Holland attempt a big splash I’m the UFA market by signing a center (Duchene, Seguin) and a D (Karlsson, Meyers) next off season. By my estimates the Wings are going to go into next free agent season with a huge pile of cap space.
If they LTIRetire Z (6.08M) and Franzen (3.9M) that’s almost 10M
Plus expiring contracts of Nyquist (4.75M), Vanek (3M), Frk (1M), Kronwall (4.7M) & Howard (5.3M) add up to another 18+M
Kenny would have all 28M of that to play with since the wings have no major RFA to take care of next year.
The cap situation only improves from there with another 10m that gets freed up when Green, Daly and Eriksson all go UFA after the 19-20 season. That should more than cover the RFA deals that would be needed by Mantha, AA, and Bert. Add to that Z’s LTIRetire hit of $6.08M and the expiration of the Mule’s $3.9 contract and you have nearly $20m free for those RFA deals and another piece....Trouba?
