RK7Teen Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/780077 The Detroit Red Wings are apparently opening their prospect cupboard as they approach the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. The Red Wings were relatively quiet at the trade deadline partially because they didn't want to deal 2013 first-round pick Anthony Mantha or their 2015 first-round pick. Detroit is now willing to consider parting with those pieces, according to Sportsnet's Damien Cox. Expectations regarding Mantha were high following back-to-back 50-goal seasons in the QMJHL, but he recorded 33 points in 62 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins in his first professional season and added four points in 16 playoff contests. While that bumpy AHL debut isn't likely to hurt Mantha's trade value, the franchise no longer considers him untouchable like they once did. Detroit holds the 19th overall pick at the draft. To det Edler Jensen or vey For To van: Mantha 1st round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Strome Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I highly doubt this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Strome Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 No mention of what they want? What the hell, let's just trade those 2 pieces. Kinda silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Would love to get Mantha. I think him and Virtanen could do some serious work once they develop. Think Detroit would look at something like Bieksa, Jensen, 2015 5th and 2016 2nd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 How does that help Detroit? They seriously lack RHD and Kevin's still good enough to play 2nd-3rd pair minutes, a replacement in Jensen who's also been struggling, and a decently high pick.

Being a true fan is great pears but Jensen is beyond struggling... Mantha play his first pro season and averaged .5 ppg. That's not bad at all.

smokes Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 The only Dman Detroit would want is Edler Edler for Mantha would be too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Strome Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 And KB3 should not be playing top 4 minutes anymore. To trade a top prospect for an aging bottom pairing dman, a player that may never play in the nhl and a 2nd next year seems crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 if this team finally admits its going to rebuild, then Edler to Detroit for 1st and Mantha is good. It's fair from both ways, but it would leave us with Tanev, Hamuis, Sbisa, Again if this team decides they should rebuild then wow a 1st with mantha for Edler is a great way to start a rebuild. It will give this team 2 chances to draft, or better yet grab 2 defence-men in the first round. Imagine the future, mantha, virtanen, kassian, cassels, horvat although a pipe dream, the problem lies with the NTCs because Edler won't waive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm not sure what Detroit's needs are... We could offer up Bonino, Matthias, Richardson, etc. if they need depth in scoring. Or pretty much any of our core defense could be offered. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Detroit VP Jim Devellano didn't have much good to say about Mantha this year. Attached article with his quote. Long story short, "Very, very disappointing." The Wings, who have been the gold star organization for drafting and developing don't give up on their prospects too often. Perhaps this isn't something the Canucks should touch. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/red-wings-top-prospect-mantha-very-disappointing-says-detroit-senior-vp-devellano/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
