In exchange for Edler, forget names like Mantha Tatar Abdelkader and Nyquist.. Here is a more reaslistic 3 player+pick package we could get for Edler:
A.)
-Frk, Mckinnon and Drouin's memorial cup linemante, still a baby in the AHL
-Pulkinnen, NHL ready
-Jarnkrok, pretty talented young swede, Detroits good at finding those, a bit weak though
-Callahan, Great shot, mean dude, love him.. watch this guy play he's gonna be a stud.. one of my favorite prospects
-Nestrasil, never seen him play but apparently solid prospect
-Glendenning, seen him play some great games with the wings
B.)
-Smith/Lashoff/Kindl to immediately replace Edler
-Ouellet/Almquist or Sproul/Marchenko. Lefties vs. Righties... If Hamhuis/Garrsion/Stanton/Alberts are healthy, we can go young with one these guys instead of Smith/Lashoff/Kindl
C.)
-Franzen is the best of the guys whos salary matches Edlers (Weiss , Quincey).. Could fit Sedin line well.. net presence would really help PP.. playing with the twins might spark him n get him back to his playoff dominance
D.)-Pick, 1st if its something like Tvrdon+Franzen+1st...2nd/3rd if we get a guy like Sproul.... no pick if we get jurco or sheahan
So instead of thinking we can pull off Edler for Mantha+Tatar+1st+2nd, consider one of the other many options.. Theres tons of great youth in that team, and there are plenty of different swaps that could be included..Upgrade, but we'd get older, or downgrade and get younger.. Or some swaps can be made to even salary, or even out the trade
*Booth and Tootoo which favors us
*Hansen for Eaves which favors them
*Schroeder for Emmerton/Ferraro if we wanna get bigger
*If we want to get a 3C right now for Schroeder, we can go for Helm or Andersson which will cost us
