Kesler/Edler trades


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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 ???

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
