Red Wings aren't trading Edvinson in a package for Draisaitl and paying him a contract extension too. What Florida did there with the Tkachuk trade isn't exactly(home-grown). Made a risky move for a franchise building block.
That's the thing - I was just focusing on guys who could legitimately be on the roster next season! Danielson may very well be on the team, but it seems less of a sure thing. I only included Sandin-Pelikka due to his season last year. IMO his trajectory really separates him from any other prospect who isn't a lock to be on the roster in 2024-25.
Yeah that was my bad, I was overreacting and not thinking. Trade still sucks tho. Hopefully leads to something larger down the road.
Gotta say, you took all those snippy replies pretty well, bud.
It was kinda deserved. I was being cantankerous and was wrong about what we traded. I was just salty at the time cause I liked Walman. I ate a snickers and I’m better now.
yeah, theres gotta be more to it...
I agree, legitimately one of the most bizarre trades I’ve ever seen. I had to read it several times for it to sink in. I thought the 2nd was coming our way and was like okay that’s reasonable, then I had a closer look. Weird stuff.
Have to believe the "future consideration" is SJ eating a contract from our roster, whether it's Holl, Husso, or maybe even Copp.
Honestly, it could be conditional to the point where they could eat any of our contracts depending on what Yzerman does. It could give him a lot of flexibility.
