Lightning & Redwings Trade

[LIVE DynastySports]

Lightning and Redwings agree to swap

To Tampa
LW Matt Calvert, $0.8m (2013-2015)
LW/RW Justin Abdelkader, $3.4m (2012-2015)


To Detroit
Mason Raymond, $3.0m (2012-15)
RW David Jones, $6.3m (2011-2015)
Round 3 - 2014 :TBL:

Tampa clears some cap here while not giving away too much production. In the end the scrappy Calvert could be the gem of the deal, however even if we miss on him the $5.1m cap gained will help with other moves. I really appreciate the activity of FNHL. Good knowledgeable GMs allows hockey novice types like myself a chance to complete a vision & build my team.

Thanks Izzy for the talks, Detroit to confirm

I confirm, I like this deal for my team, without any true stars on Calgary, Raymond and Jones could be the main contributors on the team.

I'm also glad to pick up another pick after trading so many away. The pick makes up for the slight loss in fantasy points.

Thanks for the deal Daddy and welcome to the league!

Clearly BIG Daddy isn't as much of a novice as he claims to be LOL
Izzy will have to make sure his 2014-15 contracts and cap fall within the 69.0m + 10% range for the off-season!

:DET-NHL: Wings are going for 2 solid wingers hitting their prime around 28 Raymond and 29 Jones who's also got a big pay cut coming his way!

:TBL: Bolts also getting 2 solid wingers hitting their prime in Abdelkader with duo LW/RW eligibility 27yo and Calvert who's only 24 with plenty of upside.

Two great hockey minds shaping their lineups!

Keep it up gents! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

As for the trade betw DET + TB...
:iatp:
2 owners dealing for players they want pretty much the same position LWs, similar ages, will be similar cap hits upon contract rollover if I know what Izaman's going to do. Daddy's been busy! :thumbsup:

I got to say I hate seeing these 2 teams getting stronger! As if the Atlantic Div wasnt already ULTRA competitive!  :soapbox:

Somehow this deal looks really balanced. Great trade boys!

The owner in Tampa Bay is swinging for the fences to be sure. Very active! I see a very even trade between Contenders. We are certainly in for an exciting season in the Atlantic Division.

Others have said it already. Looks even.
I like Abdelkader who's listed as LW/RW.
