Red Wings pursuit of Vincent Trocheck trade just got more complicated

Not surprising given the price being tossed around, but I think we're misunderstanding how often Trocheck actually enters the high-danger zone - only about 15% of his Corsi at EV is HDChC.

tbh mollys got a point about the contract man, 6.75 avg cap hit over 5 yrs is steep considering hes only averaged 22gms per season with us ngl we cant just hand out those kinds of deals like theyre Participation Trophys @fenwickfan what's your take on his hdchc shots?

WE CANT JUST SAY NO TO TROCHECK'S CONTRACT THOUGH! HE'S A TOP-6 CENTER AND WE NEED IT.

I think you make a crucial point about Trocheck's Corsi - the 15% mark for high-danger chances at EV is actually relatively low compared to his peers and some of our current forwards. His production has been well-documented, but that underlying number does stand out as a potential red flag in contract talks.
