Proposal: Nyquist

[BonMorrison]

Fowler?

The Devils offer Jon Merrill and a third.

No thanks not interested in Merrill.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

At this point, I would do Nyquist + AA for Shattenkirk.

Same here if we can get him to extend for 7 years @ $6.5 million per.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Fowler?

Done but doubt that Bob Murray can afford to take on a bigger salary then what Fowler is making.

There's a reason why Nyquist was UNTOUCHABLE to Wings fans when he scored 27 and now he's in every fantasy trade Wings fans propose as soon as he drops to 17. But lets just tell everyone to ignore his most recent season.

1. This was before we knew how good Larkin really was.

2. This was before we saw how good Mantha/AA can be

3. This was before our brutal cap situation where we MUST trade someone of value to get under the cap

4. This was before our already bad D got even worse with Kronwall falling off a cliff.

But you're right, it's probably just because Nyquist is only a 17 goal scorer after posting seasons of 27 and 28 (in 55~ games)..

I would trade Jokkipakka (young, big 2nd pairing with upside) and Rasmus Andersson (top pairing potential) for Nyquist. If that isn't enough I'd also be willing to throw in Poirier

Sold!!!!! Andersson could be a real sleeper.

 

[YennoItFlames]

Not enough cap going back and I'm sure if the Flames gave up Andersson, they'd want a cap dump going also

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

Yeah no interest in moving Andersson and we can't take any cap without a Wideman or Engelland going back.

I thought Nyquist was supposed to be a very good player? Seems like the value in this thread is much lower than I would have expected.

Bizarre thing to see.

He had a rough year last year, like every single Red Wing.

Part of it is playoff scoring as well, Nyquist is supposed to be in his prime (just turned 27) but has came up short in these past post seasons in 35 games has 4g and 4a.

Now compare that to Tampa Bay Lightning Kucherov (23 years old) who already has 22g and 20a in 45 playoff games. (as an aside, why Kucherov deserves around $7M per).

Jack Johnson for Nyquist?

Red Wings get a solid second pairing defenseman while opening a forward spot for one of the young guys.

Tempting...but not too crazy about his career plus minus, shades of Ericsson 2.0.
