Friedman: Vladimir Tarasenko[DET] might be traded?

Tank for Perron swap? Lol

Giving him two years was a little strange in the first place.

Including Tank, we've got 9 forwards signed next year. That doesn't include RFAs Berggren and Soderblom, both of whom are playing better than Tank under McLellan. It also doesn't include possible promotions between Danielson, MBN, and Mazur. Or if they attempt to get Buchelnikov out of his KHL contract.

I guess they probably figured we need a 2nd year to get him to sign, but we can limit the NTC in year two to move him if necessary.

wings are in the last wildcard spot and they are gonna trade him? i hope they'd do a player swap or bring someone else in. otherwise i dont get the move. they have a chance to end the 8 season playoff drought.

Moving Tarasenko is addition by subtraction. He’s been horrible and tanks every line he’s on.

Forgot he was still in the league.

Don't want Perron anywhere near a Detroit jersey again. Thank you for your service, you are not missed.

Dude… he absolutely is. I usually agree with your posts but his board play and leadership is definitely missed.

I found his best asset to be his powerplay puck movement, thats the only place I thought they would miss him but the PP has been exceptional. I dont miss his foot speed and penalties, his board play was great although. Leadership is hard to gauge since none of us are in the room. If Perron was an expiring contract would gladly swap him for Tarasenko.

At this point, it's not missed enough to supply him a roster spot at a $4M price tag.

Berggren and Soderblom's resurgence is gonna cause a bit of a logjam on the roster next year, with Mazur/Danielson/MBN knocking on the door.

I’m big on MBN and I don’t put much stock in prospects. Danielson imo has no bearing considering what his role will be.

I will agree Perron is slow. But he’s still valuable and I think he’s still a better/fit player than Tarasenko.

Everyone else will probably be depth role players. Perron won’t stop these players from being called up. Mazur won’t make or break the organization let’s be real. I dislike when Wings fans put so much emphasis on players who haven’t even played an NHL game.

I will admit his contract is too lengthy. Soderblom and Berggren I think have priority and their spots locked up.

Is Detroit lacking leadership?

 

[gritdash60]

Tank is a good player, just doesn't fit on the current Wings team so i wouldn't be shocked if he was traded but it has to be for a roster player, not for futures.

Is Detroit lacking leadership?

From reports circa the Lalonde days it is a very quiet lockeroom. Our leaders are more demonstrate the right way to play guys. Perron was 100% a big time vocal guy for us last year. Our big run last Jan was sort of tied back to him standing up and saying we are getting 18 pts in Jan after a disaster of a Dec.

I actually wouldn't mind him as a 13th guy that could pop in for injuries if he was ok with that and we could swap him for Tank. He could work with Ras and Soder on their netfront and board games.
