Cash or Czech Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) He'll pick up first line minutes after the deadline when they flip Duclair, Labanc, and Barbanov for futures. Edited July 10, 2023 by Cash or Czech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 So he took a $700k pay cut in real dollars this year. He was due to bank $2.7m in real dollars the season after. He'd have to turn himself into a $3.4M AAV contract to break even in the same time frame, but even if he doesn't, he's given himself a chance to earn a larger next contract by finding another place that gives him NHL minutes opposed to wallowing in the AHL for who knows how long.

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Perfect landing spot for him. have a good season, get dealt to a competitor at the deadline, have a good playoff and go to UFA when the cap takes a sharp increase. I like seeing players bet on themselves, hope it works for him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Gotta wonder how long he was available from Detroit. They couldn't even give him away. A team desperate for RW help probably should have been calling about him last year and the year prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
