Assets Red Wings Could Trade For Young Scorer (DHN+)

eRed Wings general manager Steve Yzerman points to the 2023 Alex DeBrincat deal as evidence of his willingness to trade a first round pick if he can bring in a player who can help immediately. DeBrincat has scored 66 goals since Yzerman acquired him from the Ottawa Senators for Dominik Kubalik...

Anyone have access to the full article ? Was just curious who this guy thinks we should trade danielson for can’t see anyone giving up a top young scorer for an unproven player

That Isaac Howard thing sounded interesting. Guy seems not be signing with Tampa (will be college-UFA after next season), so maybe he could join with us?

Trade Berggren's rights or something for him and then lock a deal with Howard?

Tampa Bay would not be left empty hands with Berggren.

It’s gonna take a lot more than Berggren to get him

Kyle Connor got one year remaining this summer. If Winnipeg knows he's not gonna resign, they might be willing to trade him this summer. Might be something we can take advantage of.

Most important question is Larkin staying?
This team :
Not enough leadership, too many passengers, kids not ready to step up.
Next season great for tanking, so trade Larkin and Cat, bring 3-4 kids from GR, get true top 4 defansman and power forward.

Why acquire top-4 D if the goal is to tank?

Why would you trade those 2 to tank but also add a top 4D? Isn’t the whole point of trading them to suck and get a high pick?

Like I said in another thread, getting Gavrikov would be like adding our McDonagh.

I’d go as high as 6 years 8.25 mil. With the cap increases we can afford a defense corps of Gavrikov, Edvinsson and Seider making 8-9 mil each. ASP won’t make big bucks for 3 years.

AFP came out with their FA projections. Site is fairly accurate with as many low as they have high. Got Mo's contract real close (7x8.127) and were off a tad with Ray (7x7.75). Gav's projection is 7x7.6. No need to go 8x8.25. Ehlers projects at 6x8.1. Take both those in a heartbeat. Buyout Tank and you have 4+ to go after another D or F of your liking. Bennett is 6x6.6 if that's your liking over Ehlers. Donato 3x4.2 would be a nice upgrade over Tank to fit in on line 3 or 4, idc. This team would definitely be a playoff team by adding Gav/Ehlers or Bennett/Donato. And be set for a minute or two. I don't think SY is dumping Tank to probably just Gav/Ehlers or Bennett. Still like that lineup a ton.

trading away Larkin and Cat will tank this team no matter who you bring in defiance .

He is staying for next 6 seasons.

Yeah, I have been pushing for Connor. He's a local guy, so he may be interested in signing here. Nearly all of our s**t contracts will be off the books when he hits UFA: Tank, Chiarot, Holl, Gustafsson, Mrázak with only Ed needing a new deal.

We need to target Connor as the piece to put us over the top.
