Proposal: Fix Detroit’s depth!

As an Islanders fan I would be more than happy to give you Engvall or Duclair for free. lol

While I don't mind Engvall's caphit(maybe it can be like 500k lower) the length of the deal scares me, as for Duclair he has been a dud for us
 
The wings biggest failings this year can be attributed to coaching (Lalonde) and roster depth. The 3rd and 4th lines, and the 4-6 D-men have been hot garbage.

On the table; 2025 and 2026 2nd round picks and later.
Talbot, Mrazek, Copp, Compher, Holl, Tarasenko, Gustafsson, Chiarot, Rasmussen, Berggren, Wallinder, Buium, Tuomisto

I realize these aren’t worth much, and collectively have been trash this year (especially Compher, Tank, Holl and Gus). A team might find use for one of them on their team, though.

Biggest needs; a legit #3/4 D, a 3rd line winger that can slot up a line and is good for 40ish points, and 2 #5 defensemen that can make a solid 3rd pair.

Who would you move picks and players for to upgrade Detroit’s terrible depth this season?
None of those cited as available have any interest, except possibly Rasmussen if super cheap, just to see if he has chem w/Edstrom + Rempe

it would look like, besides obv getting lucky, your options are:
- coke for pepsi and just hope for better results
- deal one or two top assets for quality depth
- deal a top guy for another top player at another position, see if the net result is positive

If you are open to the last item, we can discuss something around
