Kenny Powers Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Trade #1 To Detroit: Horvat, with extension in place To Van: Kasper, Rasmussen, 2023 1st Kasper is our future 2C. Starts in Abby. Age: 18 Ht/Wt: 6-1/192 Drafted: 2022 round one, eighth overall by Detroit Red Wings In his D+1 year and second full season in the SHL, the Austrian pivot has already matched his previous seasons’ point totals in a third of the games played. Kasper already has international experience at the World juniors and the World Championship as an 18-year-old. Kasper is a complete player, has good size, is a good skater, with good offensive and defensive instincts. He may lack elite individual skill but Kasper is on a fast track to a top-six role and likely second-line center. Rasmussen auditions for 3C and adds size 6’6,” 210, 23 yrs old, from Surrey Detroits is 3 pts out of a wildcard spot - their 1st projects to be the highest of the teams rumoured to be interested in Horvat Trade #2 To Vegas: Kuzmenko, Schenn To Van: Korczak, 2024 2nd Kuzmenko’s agent asks for too much, so we send him to Vegas, who are tight to the cap. Vegas upgrades their top 6 and PP, while replacing KK with Schenn Korczak, a 6’3”, 192lb RD, partners with Hughes for the foreseeable future. He will be 22 this month, and is already playing top 4 minutes. summary young, NHL ready, shutdown RD additional, mid round, 1st rd pick future 2C potential 3C recouped 2024 2nd Lineup Hoglander - Petey - Mikheyev Garland - Miller - Boeser Podkolzin - Rasmussen - Studnicka Dakota - Lazar - Lockwood OEL - Meyers Hughes - Korczak Dermott - Bear Delia <- *bonus goalie controversy!

Junkyard Dog Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I think we get either Rasmussen or Kasper, not both. They need one as 3rd C and in case they lose Larkin. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTramFan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Nice trade ideas. Would be funny to trade Horvat to DET for futures and then sign Larkin as a UFA for similar $ to Horvat.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not clear on Rasmussen's value - thought maybe he hasn’t lived up to his draft pedigree, so would be the ‘serviceable NHLer’ in this trade Edited January 21 by Kenny Powers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTramFan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Have heard others suggest a Hronek + Rasmussen + 1st return from DET for Horvat, which would also fit nicely with team needs... Add your trade #2 for Korczak. Plus trade Myers in the off season. Maybe bring back Schenn too if possible. Sign a solid 3C such as Compher. Next season lineup becomes: Podz Pettersson Boeser Hogs Miller Mikheyev Rasmussen Compher Garland Joshua Pedersen Lazar Hughes Hronek OEL Korczak Dermott Schenn Rathbone Bear Demko Backup 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 2 minutes ago, Kenny Powers said: They also have Copp and Suter. Looks like Rasmussen is playing 2LW https://www.capfriendly.com/depth-charts/redwings Forgot about Copp. If they had a Larkin-Horvat-Copp as their top 3 Cs that would be a good base to build a top 9. Suter doesn't seem to take as many draws and play at C. Appears to be more a swiss army knife type forward. They could part with both but the question is of whether or not wanting to spend that amount or wait till FA. DET are also closer to the bottom than to the playoffs this year. Even with Horvat it would still be highly unlikely they make it this year. That 1st likely is a lottery one which they may not want to part with. It's tough to say. Do they really want to spend that amount or wait till FA? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft our centre in this upcoming draft, top 10 is loaded. Get creative for finding RHD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably willing to part with Wallinder who's still a great LD prospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the value doesn't make sense otherwise. Agreed, it's Rasmussen OR Kasper, plus the 2023 1st (with let's say top 10 protected). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Powers Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Edited to add an extension for Horvat, to optimize the return. Suppose we could retain salary this year also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
