Rumor: Red Wings shopping for a D-man on trade market

[gretskidoo]

We have waaaay too many forwards. If there's a decent trade for a defenseman to be made, it will be made.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

We can solve that for you, just send AA or Mantha or Svechnikov to St. Louis for Shatty. Boom, now they are no longer stuck in the minors, problem solved.

I expect Mantha to be traded now, actually. I see this happening. Might be for Fowler instead, though.

Not straight up I'd imagine. The premium for young defensemen has gone up. Many are getting paid 5.5+ and Fowler is only being paid 4m. He's gonna cost more than Mantha.

 

[Dead Thing Fan]

trades

To NYI: Nyquist + Smith + 2017 3rd(from Tor)

To Det: Harmonic

And then-

To Wpg: Harmonic + 2017 1st(lottery protected 1-7(which ain't going to happen).
To Det: Trouba

 

[Guardian17]

One of Trouba or Myers could be acquired for the right price.

 

[taylorjonl]

Detroit just signed another forward, Steve Ott, another sign?

Oh, for sure. I just meant as part of a package.

 

[Tripod]

Mark Streit is so good he is on the World Cup team!

Plus, he got paid 2 million today so only costs 2 million in real money.

Shattenkirk and maybe Barrie are the only two solid ones available... and the price will be high.

 

[Limekiller]

Selling one slightly used Brendan Dillon, cheap.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Holland doesn't make impact trades, but would really love Shattenkirk, Fowler, or Hamonic right about now.

 

[HanSolo]

Please give us a top 6 forward for Fowler. This is what Bob Murray has reduced a Fowler homer to.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

There is no trade Holland could make for a 1D that either 1) he could stomach, since he doesn't make trades, and 2) that won't completely decimate our forward corp and set us back years.

We have little choice at this point, we just signed 3 new forwards and brought back a forward that we should have let walk. We have Jurco and Pulks out of waiver options, AA and Mantha are going to rot in Grand Rapids for a year more. We need to upgrade our D and we can't wait 4+ years for our new D prospects to be ready.

I would say at this point trade Mantha+ for a prospect D that is closer to being ready than our current D prospects. I like Mantha but at this point it is silly how many forwards we have.

Anaheim's roster scenario

If we keep Rakell at center to preserve center depth

???-Getzlaf-Perry
???-Kesler-Silfverberg
???-Rakell-Cogliano
???-???-Garbutt

If we move Rakell to the wing

???-Getzlaf-Perry
Rakell-Kesler-Silfverberg
???-???-Cogliano
???-???-Garbutt

We could slot in Ritchie but he doesn't look ready. It's imperative that the Ducks get wingers. It seems that Bieksa will not waive his NMC so we have to protect him in the expansion draft along with Lindholm and Vatanen. That leaves Michigan born Cam Fowler for a guy like Tatar.

It just makes too much sense at this point.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Would gladly trade Tatar and Sheahan for Fowler and a pick. Sheahan's a favorite of mine, but today's moves are making roster space up front very cramped for us.

Tatar is a stud too, a possession driving machine who is good for near 30 goals.

I'd do that. As long as we're not giving up a first. We need to restock the cupboards.

this **** is so dumb. no room for any red wing forwards prospects to even get a chance now and the defense still blows.

Tatar
Pulkkinen

For

Fowler

Gives the Ducks 2 left wingers.

I'd do that too. Are they expansion exempt though? That's a concern I'd have (though one that can be addressed at a later time)

Someone whack Holland on the head and bring Fowler back to Michigan...

Christ...I can't believe I'm actively hoping one of my favorite players goes to the Red Wings...this feels weird.

 

[JaegerDice]

Brent Seabrook will never eliminate you guys in the OT of a game 7 again if you take him...

 

[M88K]

Brent Seabrook will never eliminate you guys in the OT of a game 7 again if you take him...

He could with an "own" goal

 

[KJoe88]

Too soon.

 

[Yzerman1919*]

Would Sheahan+Tatar+2nd rounder get Shattenkirk?

Tatar+Jurco+2nd for Fowler?

Tatar+Svech+1st for EXTENDED Shattenkirk or Tyson Barrie?

I just don't want to trade Mantha. The guy is 6'5" and drives the net and can shoot. We have too many small softies.
