Overall seems pretty good. It’s makes sense with what we want.

Only thing I don’t see is us getting Hoffman, he would likely prefer to go elsewhere.

Also not sure LA Kings would take Nielsen as they have quite a few Centers. We honestly may just suck it up for this year and next, then move him when our key young guys need cap.

Good work though and thorough thought process.

You can keep Glendening, TB doesn't want that 1.8M contract if we're already paying DET to take him. Give us a late pick back instead.

@Tripletts, Glenndenning is a pending UFA at the end of the year. A 1.8 million rental to be a bottom six and penalty killer is actually decent value. I’m just as happy to offer Future Considerations for that package and move Glenndenning elsewhere.

Not taking him could be a greater loss in value to you.

Bottom line, Glenndenning has value, not crazy but enough we could snag a pick elsewhere if we moved him.

I agree with Datsyuk

Might or might not be decent value at 1.8, but certainly isn't for TB. TB has young guys on ELC that can fill bottom 6 roles and it saves them 1M compared to Glendening, which is vital in their situation.
