To Boston
X- 2021 1st Round Draft Pick, Detroit, $m this year
C Victor Rask, $1.6m (2021-2022)

To Detroit
C Mikael Backlund, $6m (2020-2021)
$6m in 2019-20

Rob is already flipping Backlund, talk about efficiency... Detroit is trying to get a upgrade here and turn our terrible rebuild into a makeshift retool, because those always work out...

This trade is post-dated until after this year's supplemental draft

To Islanders:
Zach Hyman, $2.3m (2017-2020)
Semyon Varlamov, $7.3m (2018-2022)
C - Michael McLeod (2016: 1/12 - 21 Games)
Round 2 - 2019  (from *)

To Red Wings:
Ryan Johansen, $6.4m (2016-2020) $4.0m (2019-2022)
Robin Lehner, $5.8m (2015-2019) $7.4m (2019-2023)

The Islanders posted extensions for these two players, so I hope it is alright that I included them in this post PPG.

Detroit makes this deal to lower our average goalie age by a tiny bit. Lehner may split starts with Crawford or he may be the #1 this year, but I expect him to the the #1 goalie in Chicago for the length of his contact. Trading Hyman for Johansen helps diversify my roster a little bit as I already have Marner. We think this deal is good for both clubs. Thanks Johnny for the talks, it was a pleasure as always.
