I like Nyquist a lot, and he's having a fine season. It might be a hard sell to get a first for him, but again he's a great talent.

Nah Calgary would need to sweeten it, More then this.1st and Smith for Nyquist and Howard
Nyquist + Howard for Spooner + Talbot + 2019 1st (top 10 protected) + 2020 2nd is interesting.

Wings want a 1st for both. Admittedly, Howard would be a long shot... They're not giving both away for one protected 1st.

Howard is in no way returning a 1st round pick. Nyquist may not return one either with how many quality forwards are on the market this year. The article also stated that they were unlikely to get a 1st round pick for either player.
uh, no he wont
he hasnt hit 50 pts in the last three seasons and barely got 20 goals last year
he can MAYBE fetch a late first, but he certainly isnt getting a 1st + 2nd from ANY team
not a snowballs chance in hell

I don't disagree that he won't fetch that, unless the 2nd is conditional on him signing an extension, but bringing up the last three years for a rental is kinda ridiculous considering he's already at 40 halfway through the season.
It's ridiculous because he's producing above his career averages right now and it's not unrealistic to expect he regresses back to the mean especially if he gets traded to a new team and system he's not familiar with?
Teams are going to view him as a 20 goal/ 50 pt wing and will pay for that accordingly. They won't pay a premium just because he's on pace for 68 pts about half way through the season

New poll series coming from me in June
Why would we make this deal? Just to get into the playoffs? Or do you think we end up re-signing 1 or 2 of these guys?

Yep Nyquist should return a late 1st, Don't see Detroit getting any better then a late 2nd or probably a 3rd rounder for Howard.

Yep and that’s for rentals only. If guys like Schenn, Toffoli, Muzzin move there are even less first rounders to go around because managers will always want the players with term.

It's negotiation 101, your initial asking price is high. I doubt they'd actually turn down a 2nd+ for Howard.
A low 1st for a skilled winger on pace for 68 points is more than fair.
Except its not a trade or walk situation. By all indications there is mutual interest in a Howard extension. If no one wants to pay the price for a quality starter on a rental contract the Wings will be happy to keep him.

Howard sucks.
I've always liked Nyquist. Montreal doesn't have a first that can trade, so no Nyquist for us.

Good luck with that? Nyquist will cost you easily 5 years $30 million. And Montreal is the last team i see Goose signing with.

Nyquist woud never waive his full NTC for Montreal any ways, All indications are he wants to go to a legit cup contender. And we all know Montreal isn't one yet.
He’s not, but he’s worth more to the Wings than his realistic trade value.

Maybe no one? Bottom line is Detroit doesn't have to deal Howard, Holland plans on meeting with Howard's agent after the All Star Break to talk contact extension. But at the same time if he can get a decent return for him. He should be listening any GM starts their bidding high. And then goes accordingly.
