So, J.B. has this team in a spot that is " not far away 2 signings and a hockey trade like this and Canucks can be in contention"

 

And your solution is to fire the guy that got us to this spot? :picard:

The dude really wanted Leddy. Broke his heart

This seems like an odd deal for Detroit. What good does Leddy do them at this stage of their rebuild? Curious what all the people who dump on JB have to say about this one. 

He's an asset with a year left on his deal, one they can easily retain cap on and flip at the deadline for a high pick or two

So they trade a pick and a prospect for a player in the hopes that they can flip him for a pick and a prospect? Just seems kinda strange to me

They got a 1st, Vrana and Panik for Mantha. They trade Panik (50% retained) and a 2nd for Leddy. Than they trade Leddy at the deadline for a 2nd and a prospect to a team like Toronto, Florida, Carolina, Edmonton or even his hometown team in Minnesota. If the Red Wings want to improve, they need to shelter their young players and develop into a powerhouse. For that, they'll need high-picks and shrewd GM.

They have Moritz Seider to develop.  They get an experienced Leddy for that till the TDL where they can then try and recoup the pick they gave up.

Oh they already started - like why didn't we give up a second and retain half on say Roussel.    Cap space dimwits.    

 

OTT and DET both have made several moves/signings the last 18 months that follow the same sort of thing JB did.    Wait until they both try and win a cup during their "elc" window.    Won't happen.

This is a good move by both teams.

 

NYI gets a high 2nd and bottom 6 veteran at a good price while clearing cap. Detroit gets a top 3 defenseman for the season and the opportunity to potentially get more back at the deadline (a 2nd and a prospect - similar to what we gave up for Toffoli).
