That still leaves too many LHD. The point of trading Fowler is to free up a spot. There are 4 young LHD already. If it's too trade for a worse LHD, Ducks are better off keeping Fowler. With the amount of cap space the Ducks have, they don't need to move money to sign a RHD. Ducks current LHD is:Maatta is a vet and I was suggesting bringing in a UFA to play with Mintyukov
What is your interest in Trouba? Not going to ask for a lot. I’d expect Detroit to pick up most, if not all, of his contract as opposed to wanting a return back.
He’s now on the Rangers third pair. Schneider has overtaken him and Trouba costs too much for a third pair RHD on a right side with Fox.
your no vote is acknowledged.
Prior to now, it was proper to presume Wings would be building
This thread by Red Wings fan OP, suggests something that also builds while adding immediate help would be considered, and future help on top of that possibly even welcomed.
Others, not me, introduced DET need to acquire quality netminder NOW
==========
given above reality,
if rest of your base concurs, we can agree Rs give up the dream of Seider while you surrender any hope of getting Shesty.
Or we can be open minded about some variation of a deal.
Whether or not our fave teams get more for those pieces elsewhere is a separate and fair ?, but we should not dismiss possibilities out of hand.
Remember, more of the same moves begets more of the same.
Gotta break some eggs if you are making an omelet.
If you want signif improvement, esp overnight, then signif assets have to be on the table.
peace out
inaccurate therefore wrongNo one has mentioned wanting "Shesty" and no one is trading a very young #1 defenseman for a goalie. It's a ridiculous proposal.
inaccurate therefore wrong
it is not only Shesty
it is Shesty + Othmann a 15OA you conv ignored
+ favorable pick swap
and while Shesty was not specified, a G was
obv the better the G the higher the value/cost
Shesty = vez quality = elite
so if you prefer for whatev reason to keep Seider that's fine
but don't be disingenuous and misrepresent on value
or I will be forced to call you out until you get it right
The Red Wings want to build around Seider, Raymond, Larkin.inaccurate therefore wrong

I'd have to think a while on that, but not bad at all.Id do this, not sure about the rest of the fan base
Slim to none. Trouba with retention for cheap? Sure. But that's not what you're aiming for, I'm sure.
If we could rocket Jeff Petry into the sun for nothing and you retain Trouba to about his salary (6.25M), a 3rd? But I don't think we can and I don't think you'd eat a couple million on Trouba for a couple years either.

Yup. That's the rub. I don't mind Trouba the player, but I don't want his contract at full freight without dumping money ourselves.Trying to dump the contract.
I don’t even need much or anything back. Cap space is what the Rangers would need. Trouba isn’t a bad NHL player. I wouldn’t want to pay him to go elsewhere.
It’d be purely for cap purposes, but if you guys don’t have an interest in taking most, if not all, of his contract then it doesn’t seem like a fit.
Shesty
Othmann
Trouba
2025 1st
Jones
for
Seider
DET 2026 2nd
Rassmussen
Gettinger
one real high end piece each way
quality futures + useful adds to offset Seider younger w/mo team control
DET adds elite G, higher W prospect ready now in Oth
Trouba for Seider is downgrade but Trouba mitigates a bit
and Wings add useful extra D Jones
so depth
+ upgrade on better pick sooner
Red Wings keep 15OA
Rs add foundation RD
gamble Quick + Dominque hold fort while heir Garand advances
somethin like dat
Cody Ceci and Jack Campbell straight up for the 1st.RD, goalie, and 2C.
I’d be careful adding Jake Walman anywhere in Detroit’s Top 6 at this point. I know fans like him, but it’s no coincidence the pinball game (in their own end) stopped with him in the press box.Fowler would actually probably be a good fit for them, assuming Anaheim can take back one of their defensemen ofc. A top 4 of Seider, Fowler, Edvinsson, and Walman for next season would be pretty solid
If Detroit trades Walman, I'd like to see them try to also dump Holl and use the freed up cap to try and pry Parayko from St. Louis. 30 years old, 6.5 million contract that will run out at age 36. That lets Detroit run Seider-Parayko-Petry as their 3 RHD next year.I’d be careful adding Jake Walman anywhere in Detroit’s Top 6 at this point.

Let’s just say, there’s probably a better chance Johansson plays with Seider next year, but it’ll likely be Chiarot. They just can’t allow Seider to spend half his shifts, chasing down Walman’s 3 ft passes to his invisible friend.
Pretty positive, the decision NOT to put Walman back with Seider (after he returned from his injury) came from the front office. It was insane Lalonde allowed it to keep going as long as he did. Then Chiarot actually played very well with Seider. A little surprising because last year, he kept trying to carry play when he was with Seider and it caused lots of issues. This time around, he played the way he’s always been great playing. Being a supporting, role playing dman. Not trying to do too much. It’s the best hockey he’s played in Detroit.
Then what did Walman last? One game playing on the bottom pair, before it was very apparent Maatta was much better with Ghost?
So speaking of trading their 1st, good bet Jake Walman is also moved this summer, and there will be a market for him. Whether it’s a solid bottom six player, prospect or something like a 3rd and a 5th. Teams will see the really good tape, and think they’ll fix the invisible friend stuff.
Anaheim might be a good bet for Walman.
We’ll see, but good chance we’ve seen the last of Walman in Detroit.
