nuck in cow town Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 As anyone who watched the Detroit game last night could see the Wings are hurting down the middle. Datysuk, Weiss & Zetterberg hurt, Franzen old & hurt. This why I think Ken Holland has to make a move for next year. They have great prospects but need protection & Detroit has always been about the now, no playoffs is not an option. Boston needs help on the back end. Getting Meszaros & Potter (both UFA) at the deadline shows how much help they need. Chara is old & slow, Seidenberg who knows about his health. They have plugs in Boychuk & McQuaid, they do have Krug & Hamilton though to build on with a nice prospect in Bartkowski, so....... Vanc trades Kesler Hansen Schroeder Det trades Tatar or Jurco (forget Nyquist guys) never get him Pulkkinen Lashoff Vanc trades Edler (hopefully waive NTC for Boston) Bos trades Khokhlachev Bartkowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If we trade with Detroit they'll probably want us to take Franzen back to offset the cap they'll gain and young player(s) they're giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrChill Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 My issue with this is that every forward is under 6 feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck in cow town Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Bad trades Why? Enlighten me as to why we can't get youth with scoring ability. Remember the other team isn't giving away Nyquist for Jeremey Welsh. We're trading away $8 mill aprox. in todays dollars for $8 mill aprox. in future salary. Getting youth now is about looking at the future and you have to look at FV in the cap world now. The Detroit scenario has two players on the current roster that could easily be on ours.

The Detroit scenario has two players on the current roster that could easily be on ours. If you read Wellwood's comment you may understand that a team like Detroit would not take on more cap space unless your willing to off set the cap. Like taking a player like Franzen in return, or if you want youth your going to have to give up a Horvat, a Shinkaruk. Detroit is also getting long in the tooth like we are and you expect Holland to take Kesler and two plug for two prospects in a cap world? Again same situation with Boston.. Why would they give up a nice/ Friendly cap space prospect in Bartkowski and take on a 5 million cap hit on Edler ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Burrows 14 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Kesler>Tatar Hansen>Pulkinnen Schroeder>Lashoff Makes no sense. And Edler is worth more. Add a first maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Sorry though are trash players for kes and edler no way gillis would even consider these deals Edler and kes both can get a first rounder and some young decent players five million cap hits on multi yr deals are very attractive especially if cap goes up to 69-70 mill. The fact that gagner makes 4.8 mill and nugent hopkins is set to make 6 mill for next 7 yrs should tell you that 29 other teams would maje offers for these players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Trade Kesler and Edler for the pieces Nashville needs in a Weber trade. And try to also trade for E. Staal and Lucic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
