Someone like horvat/Miller type guy

Hronek
Bertuzzi
Fabbri
Zadina
Rasmussen
Suter
Namestikov
Draft picks (2nd rounders+)
recent prospects (Berggren, Wallinder, Johansson, Buium, Neiderbach)
DET: can take a cap dump or retain on players to increase return

Anyone would be available at this price?

Not much,wait until the offseason ...The price will be far too high right now

Theres also the argument to just go after a C in the 2022 stacked Draft class if ppl go that route

 

[EK392000]

I could see Hronek being of interest for Vancouver

We lost two of our top 9 centers in Pinto and White 5 games in for the season,its crippled our team TBH

Nice. Hes solid and has a cannon of a shot, what would detroit add to get a C from VAN?

he looked really good in the games i saw of him

Other than trading a ~2nd or smilar value for a 2nd/3rd line C rental to hopefully make the playoffs to get some experience, I’d rather wait and see what we can get for free in UFA.

If nothing is available at that point, then start looking for a 2C through trade and offering better prospects/picks

Who would you target

Yep Pinto looked great,then he blew out his shoulder,White blew his out in preseason..Both lost for the rest of the season...Hopefully we can get some luck at this years draft,but I dont have that much hope as we like Detroit , really dont get the league,s favor

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

There’s a huge C crop available this off-season. Just wait and you can get someone good

 

[Groo]

Who would you target

 

[nbwingsfan]

Who would you target

This deadline someone like Cousins, Hinostroza, Jarnkrok

In the off-season go hard after Hertl

 

[Boondock]

There’s a huge C crop available this off-season. Just wait and you can get someone good

So next summer these are the top 2 line (top 6) UFA centers: Malkin, Bergeron, Kesler, Hertl, Domi, Carter, Trocheck, Strome, Kadri

Of those names Malkin is too old to be a RW target, Bergeron probably isn't going anywhere (stay in Boston) even if he wasn't too old for Detroit, Kesler will never play again, Domi is better on the wing, Carter - see Malkin and Bergeron. So that leaves Hertl, Trocheck, Strome and Kadri. I would be reluctant to call that a huge C crop. I know there could be others under contract or RFA's made available but I'm not convinced waiting until the off season is going to make finding a top 6 C any easier.

Difference is we can get these guys for free and have a ton of cap space.

I’d rather pay a few extra dollars rather than give a potential good player now or a 1st round pick and end up having this year just be a tease and we’re a lottery team again next season

There isn’t much available on the UFA market.

you want a good 2C …yet you think the spare parts will get it.

I could see Hronek being of interest for Vancouver

I couldn’t. We don’t need another offensive dman.

I don’t think Horvat will be available.

You can make an offer for Miller. But the price will be high; we can easily retain 50% and take back a cap dump, meaning a lot of contenders will be able to fit him and there will likely be a bidding war amongst them.

Miller plays a physical game and is ppg, can play any forward position, pp, pk, and is good at faceoffs. He’s a little better at w than c though.

Ud really like to see Hronek on the Leafs but if you're looking for a 2nd line center for him we dont have that. I'd be willing to move Holl and a pick for him though. Only reason i say that as I've seen him mentioned a lot by your Detroit fans as if they don't really want him anymore. I think he has lots of untapped potential still.

I never said I wanted a good 2C, I said a I wanted a 2/3C tweener, which almost always go for around a 2nd round pick as a rental

 

[WingsMJN2965]

It's really weird watching Red Wings fans who are willing to sell Bertuzzi considering the way he changes the game...

 

[EK392000]

I couldn’t. We don’t need another offensive dman.

Never mind then. I thought he was more of a two way guy.

That package doesn't get Hronek

Not for Miller or Horvat

Kesler? First I though you meant Keller but he’s not a UFA
