I don't think we need to trade sproul right now. His value is low, potential is high, and he just had a pretty good season. Bad timing to trade him.

wings do not add and wing fans say the oilers add

Except No Wings fans have said that yet . You are probably right it just annoys me when people/fans speak for other fan bases

Detroit needs to shed cap and help on defense. How does this proposal solve either?

No, wings add. Value speaking (to answer the question)
But trade speaking
Bad time to trade sproul.
Yak doesn't seem like a wings fit, needs a two way game and would probably be in the dog house a bit.
Wings have a lot of wingers
Wings have no cap
No room
If we trade Gus for fowler then maybe go for yak

Did not know the needs of DET, hence the question in my original post. Thanks for the response though, doesn't sound like were the best trade partners at the moment. Where does Sproul fit in on the Wings, looks crowded back there?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Want to see how Sproul does in training camp, He could be a waiver casualty any ways depending on what happens.

There's a long list of higher priorities, that's for sure.

No chance the Oilers trade Yak for Sproul.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

The oil can probably grab him off waivers this year, IIRC he along with Ouellet and Jensen are waiver eligible this season and with Kronwall, Ericsson, Green, Dekeyser, Marchenko, and Smith all signed Sproul is likely gonna be one of the 2 exposed to waivers.

Pretty much this.

1 Sproul
2 Jensen
3 Frk

Pretty much how i see it unfolding.

Thanks WingsFans....

You guys are pretty balanced bunch. That must come from respecting the word "prospect".

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Definitely a guy that intrigues me as a possible bottom pairing guy and PP option for us.

This . I always like Wings threads . No bashing at all . Their fans just state the facts without any of the mud slinging you get from a lot of fan bases . They are one of the few fan bases that deserves what their team has done over the last 20 years .


Classy fan base . Well done Wings fans

I not sure Yakupov is available but reading the waiver thread it seems Wings fans think he will be available thru waivers . If that is the case I would offer a mid round pick for him . Gives us a little more D depth and also lets him have training camp with his new team to get use to a new system/coach.

Would a 4th or 5th round pick get it done ?

generally very true

Agree if Holland were to trade Sproul most likely it's only for either a 2017/18 6th or 7th pick doubt we do any better then that. It would just be trying to get something for him then risk losing him on waivers for nothing.

From an Oilers POV, I'd like to trade

Yakupov

FOR

Brandon Montour (Anaheim)

 

[Ingvar]

First of all, if you really want Sproul, you could probably take him from waivers at the start of the season - I believe XO would be the one who sits at pressbox all year. And we don't need or can take Yakupov now that Datsyuk left. I believe there is no deal to be done between Wings and Oilers.

 

[belair]

Yak overrated.

By who?

He's not going to be traded for a waiver eligible defenseman. How is that overrating?

Along with every other Oiler fan but there no chance in hell Yak returns Montour . We had this debate before the cost of defence men and you thought I was out to lunch and then we now have the Hall trade to judge the cost . No one gives up high end D or potential high end ones unless they are convinced with an overpayment .

See above . Most fans base consider Yak a bust . I really think he will break out now that Hall is gone . I just think Hall was a leader of a little group of young guys and Yak was isolated because he doesn't party . I would not trade Yak right now his value is to low . If anything play him with McD pump and dump but only if he still wants a trade

 

[haulinbass]

If the Wings didn't sign a bunch of vets and had the room for another forward, I wouldn't have a problem making a trade at Sproul + 3rd or 4th. But it's not possible unless we traded forwards for a D, which Holland is unlikely to do.

I'm not sure if Yak would be any better off here. The one positive is that he would be insulated by vets and two-way players. The problem is that he likely wouldn't get any bigger of a role than he did in Edmonton. We have young players that actually diverse a chance at taking a higher role and yet we keep signing vets and giving them no chance.

Montour is an AHL defenceman.

Yakupov, with all his flaws, is an NHL forward.

Yakupov still has strong upside, he needs to be put in a good position to succeed. If he was on the left wing with Getzlaf and Perry for a full season he should be good for 30.
