Detroit really doesn't need anymore wingers TBH.

Although I would do Lee, Pulock and the Isles 2017 2nd.

Isles would need you to take back at least 4 mil in salary so it's either Lee or bailey.

I think I'd pull the trigger on that deal though at the deadline if Isles are in and Det is out.

I don't think we ever were interested in trading Hopkins he's one of McLellan's favorites. McDavid and Draisaitl are still quite young and he helps shelter them from tougher match-ups and is a key member of our PK which is doing pretty well right now. The dialogue from the organization and from those with insider knowledge is we are looking at adding a 3rd line center, with the intention of playing Draisaitl higher up in the line-up on the wing.

Okay fair enough

No way if we are trading Green to Edmonton I want it to be for something tangible not just a pick.

I want Jones and a pick

We don't have a second because of Chiarelli compensation and a 1st + Jones is too much. The 1st is prettymuch our one big expendable trade chip for the deadline.

I think it's way too early for Edmonton fans to be selling their 1st, at least not unprotected. That being said, I think Sheahan would be a perfect fit for Edmonton.

det- tatar

habs a 2nd pick hudon

Not a chance. Not to mention there have been several significantly better offers in this thread

thats not true

the pick is just fine

Even if the Wings do trade some players off they have no intention of fully tearing it down and spending 5 years as a bottom 10 team like the Sabres, Coyotes, and Leafs. The team would try and use those picks to trade for quality Dmen.

Larkin, Dekeyser and Mrazek are pretty much the only untouchables on the roster, the rest can be had I think.

Green, Nielsen, Athanasiou, Nyquist (and Mantha, Svechnikov, Cholowski) would be in the second tier, where their value is pretty high.

Realistically, Vatanen for Tatar would be great for the long term. Kronwall for younger prospect could be interesting too.

All in all, if the Red Wings aren't in a playoff race by February, I would like to see a sort of fire sale, get a new regime in. Would be surprised if it's not part of their plans.

Holland over values his players/prospects and will not be making any significant trades. He will probably bring in an aging vet for a 2nd at the deadline though.

Get real, In reality ownership wont allow a fire sale. Going into Little Caesars Arena next year. And neither Tatar nor Nyquist get dealt unless it's a top 4 LHD/RHD coming back Detroit may need to add depending on who's available.

I already said...

Tatar + Jurco for Mersch + Lintenimi + 2nd + 4th

But if that doesn't get done and you need a LHD. You can get either McNabb or Martinez, but Sproul would have to come back with Tatar.

Tatar + Sproul for ?

I'd like to see Kronwall or DeKeyser in Montreal, what would the ask be?

If we could snag Kronwall for Emelin + Ghetto + 3rd I'd be hyped

So if you could get him for practically nothing you would be happy? That is a surprise.... Kronwall isn't being moved with a 3rd round pick being the main piece coming back.
