(Rumour) Svechnikov (DET) not being qualified as RFA
SilentSam replied to RWJC's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Sounds like T Bertuzzi might not get qualified . Tyler Bertuzzi Age: 26 Position: Left wing / right wing 2020-21 salary cap hit: $3.5 million Arbitration rights: Yes Bargaining chips: 2017 Calder Cup champ with Grand Rapids. 2019 Team Canada silver medallist at IIHF worlds. Represented Detroit at 2020 NHL All-Star Game. First player in Red Wings history to record four consecutive three-point games. Back-to-back 21-goal, 47-point seasons in 2018-19 and 2019-20. Detroit needs all the top-line forwards it can get. The latest: The skilled and bruising Bertuzzi went through arbitration in the 2020 off-season, settling with Yzerman on a one-year, $3.5-million pact, closer to the $3.15 million filed by the Wings than the $4.25 million Bertuzzi requested. Hurt feelings sometimes linger from these cases, but Bertuzzi downplayed that, telling the Detroit Free Press there was "nothing personal at all." Bertuzzi injured his back on Jan. 28 against Dallas, but a troubling recovery pushed him to seek a second opinion and he had an operation on April 30. "You never want surgery, but I thought I was honestly going to be a little bit more immobile after," Bertuzzi told reporters in May. "I'm feeling really good right now, so I'm happy I ended up doing it. "Honestly, it was a really tough year and I'm looking to just put it past me and get ready for next year." Bertuzzi, a net-front presence, vowed that his rehab won’t alter his hard-driving game. "It's just a slow process initially after surgery and gradually ramp things up," Yzerman said on locker cleanout day. "Tyler, as you know, is pretty quiet. He doesn't say a lot. He is very upbeat and positive. We expect him to be full steam ahead in September." Bertuzzi is again speeding toward RFA status. Again, he is arbitration-eligible. How much can he command coming off a down year in which he played nine games and scored five goals? The Maple Leafs were reported to have interest in a trade for Bertuzzi, with Zach Hyman leaving for Edmonton — but Yzerman set a high price. The GM since said publicly that he intends to make Bertuzzi part of the Wings future, yet trade rumours lingered last week. Fascinating case here. -

Give Svech number 47, and Nik name him “AK“ -
(Rumour) Svechnikov (DET) not being qualified as RFA

In very limited games for Detroit Svechnikov played quite well.. limited ice time on a 4th line at best he was .33 pg or better. I think he has had only a total of 40+ games, not really fair opportunity. He is rugged, and can shoot. if he had been given the opportunity JV had with us, he would be a bruising point contributor. 6’3 208 24 yrs .. 41 total games 12 pts 20 penalty min in 3 seasons. At least get him to camp. Abby so close is a bonus to training access with pros. -
[Buyout] Canucks terminate Virtanen’s contract

In the case of the MTL player drafted, It that is only because the victim came forward to support the player.. not his actions.. that is rare. -
[Buyout] Canucks terminate Virtanen’s contract

I don’t see Virtannen playing in North America again unless he is found not guilty. I don’t see an out of court settlement changing the “no fly zone” attached to this player. Virtannen totally had no realization the privilege he had to play in the NHL, it was disrespectful of him not to realize that. Not just the hockey gods, but the greats, who contributed to the game and the less fortunate are shaking their heads. There are better players than Jake that deserve the opportunity he had. -
That could very well be, Hopefully when all is said and done, Baumgartner is done too. Bieksa seemed to know his apples from oranges,. Team him up with a good college D Coach and the seas might part. Remember the series against Vegas where Demko hap the Knights shut down/ frustrated,. perhaps the best is yet to come.

and I was watching him play,. His athleticism and 2nd responses were good .. Clarke did ignite his game again.. I didn’t see a fading goalie,. I saw a goalie under a lot of pressure where simple outlet plays were dead give sways, and blind passes not clearing our own zone. I get the % numbers,. But watching a goalie go into “save the game” mode is just upsetting and unfortunate. Benning might be able to do well on a return for Holtby.. nothing wrong with that. Just wonder what our move for backup would be?

I wouldn’t doubt if he is listed as “do not touch “ by the nhl. The Canucks have just totally released him,. They themselves had their own PI involved in this situation. -

maybe some moves still to come.. im hopeful of us grabbing Zadorov. Benning must still realize he only has one physical guy back there.. I’m looking forward to Woo’s camp,. But still young, get him in on some fair rotation out of Abby this season. So nice that the farm is close to home for many franchise reasons. -

Think of OEL as Edlers 6m.. yes Garland needs to sign,. But that’s not an atrocious contract. -

Despite the easy hindsight to look at flaws.. the timing of all these moves couldn’t be better with our core. good things to come. -

JB just cleared about 14m off the cap in 2 days. adding a third highly skilled D man in OEL and having Arizona retain 1m of his hit, and a player who plays kinda like B Marchand in Garland. Thats not bad for a 9th OA draft pick.
