theminister Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/02/11/report-detroit-interested-in-columbus-d-man-tyutin/ The Red Wings had much brass in the building on Tuesday to watch the Blue Jackets play the Islanders in Nationwide. GM Ken Holland was there, along with special assistant to the GM Kris Draper, and pro scout Kirk Maltby. It’s believed the Red Wings were taking a close look at Fedor Tyutin, who is likely to be dealt by the Feb. 29 trade deadline. Tyutin, 32, has this and two more years remaining on a six-year, $27 million deal with a $4.5M average annual cap hit. One of the longest-tenured players in Columbus franchise history — he’s spent eight years with the Jackets, and played in both of the teams’ playoff appearances — Tyutin has fallen on hard times this year, and has been made a healthy scratch on a few occasions by head coach John Tortorella. Unsurprisingly, Tyutin’s numbers are way down. He’s goalless with just two points through 43 games, and is averaging just 17:47 TOI per night — the lowest total of his career. It’s not surprising Detroit’s kicking the tires on Tyutin. D-men Niklas Kronwall and Mike Green are both out of the lineup with knee and groin injuries and, last night versus Ottawa, Danny DeKeyser took a Dion Phaneuf shot to the knee.

86Viking Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Tyutin as 2a this year and a massive 4.5m cap hit for 2 more years. unless columbus retains or detroit ships out bad contracts this makes no sense. Take weber for a 7th instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Tyutin has been a solid defensive defenseman under coaches' systems not named Tortorella. I agree with @Yotes, there's gotta be some cap retention for this to work out, or a pick going back to DET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Tyutin is likely heading to europe after this season. Detroit is a decent last stop for him before that, to see if he has anything left to give at the NHL level, and it doesn't look like he does, unfortunately. Sloooowwwwwin down.

Ryan Strome Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Tyutin has been terrible this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus is a bottomfeeder. Tyutin doesn't appear to be endeared to the ballbuster. Detroit is in a playoff race with a number of injuries on their blueline. I might add - a fairly signature m.o. of the Redwings is adding veteran reclamation project D that they don't have to pay through the nose for. Who knows - but there's enough to add up their to come up with speculation that Detroit is kicking CBJ tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Pass. Would be a waste for Detroit to trade anything for him. He's a shadow of the player he used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Tyutin has perhaps the best underlying numbers on the CGJ blueline (aside from Jones, whose corsi on was determined for the most part in Nashvile). Under 50% offensive zone starts +7.1 relative corsi, +1.96 corsi on top 4 quality of competition 0% shooting percentage. No powerplay time. The vast majority of his icetime spent with Dalton Prout - who is a stay at home D, his strength is not his offensive upside. Aside from little offensive production...? The Redwings aren't stupid. I doubt any of that is lost on them. They know how to identify a bargain - a guy that is doghoused for who-knows-what reason and if you're looking for a steal, maybe something worth combing through. Torts scratched Johansen, scratched Hartnell - the fact he has scratched Tyutin.....well, how much people take from that is their own interpretation - I personally don't put enough stock in it to dis-consider the player. On the other hand, there's the Stephen Weiss risk... Tyutin could be an intelligent and probably asset-cheap option for them to pursue - and it's not difficult to imagine him regaining form after a get-out-of-jail card to Detroit.

No, but when the GM of another team shows up to watch a guy play, that tends to mean something. If they're desperate and think they can make a run, I don't know if taking on two more years of Tyutin should be their first option. As oldnews points out, he's not useless at all without the puck, but he's not getting younger and his production has fallen off a cliff. Maybe it's just the situation, but I think Tyutin is declining and even one more year instead of two at $4.5M would be easier to swallow if he doesn't pan out. He'd likely be a cheaper option to acquire in trade though considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Detroit will probably be able to snag him for like a 5th/6th/7th rounder (either one of those) and a project prospect for Tyutin. Or maybe just the pick will do justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he isnt as good under Torts but not everyone is. Edler was way worse under Torts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
