Value of: Detroit 2025 1st round pick

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Wonder if any teams would move a top 6 or top 4 d-man in the 24-28 year old range for Detroits 1st in this years draft. In all likelihood it’s going to be between 8-12.
 
Scott Mayfield would be substantially cheaper and he shoots right. He is however a top 6 d-man.

To better understand the type of player you are targeting, who from the Habs fits this ask?
 
I’ll be shocked if Yzerman trades a 1st. He won’t even trade his later picks unless it’s to get rid of (good) players on his team.

With that said, my god I hope he does something to address this pathetic bottom half of both the D and F
 
It all depends on who is available. Has to be someone who is a legit upgrade to the roster that can't be acquired in Free Agency.
 
I mean slaf or suzuki but that ain’t happening, don’t see Detroit and Montreal as good trade partners at all. Playing in same division doesn’t help matters
I think you are asking for way too much for a 8-12 pick in this draft class. Would you deal Raymond or Seider for that pick? A more realistic scenario would be a team wanting to move up because there is a player they really like available and will deal a player or prospect to do so. As an example, Montreal liked someone available with the Detroit pick and offers someone like Newhook, Dach, Mailloux or Engstrom plus the better of their 1st round picks.
 
We are not trading our likely top 10 first for Scott mayfield lol
I wasn’t talking about trading a 1st for him. He’s just a cheaper option than moving a 1st as a RHD. Then again teams almost never move top 4 defenseman in the 24-28 range unless they’re risking overpaying them.

Trust me I think those guys are worth a lot more than that pick, that’s why I didn’t see a fit. Newhook is a solid player, but the wings kinda need a bigger difference maker then him

Anyone on Montreal I’d want is worth more than our 1st, anyone you want to get rid of is not good enough to get our 1st. A trade makes no sense between us.

I don’t see a team moving a guy in that age range for an 18 year old that you have to wait like 3 years on. GM very likely not around when or if the kid makes the roster.
You are looking at more of an older player in those roles.

Like ask yourself what benefit there is to the other club to send a 24-28 year old out for an 18 year old kid? They’d have to be at or around the start of a long rebuild to do that.
