Description

Did my best to keep it as realistic as possible factoring in NMC and how the Wings traditionally operate.

Moves:
Finally having some salary cap to play with I made a couple free agent splashes. Myers @6.5 might be a little steep but its UFA and guys get paid a little extra, he's a legit top 4 and keeps Hronek and Cholo from being thrown into a top 2 role.

Panarin is worth every penny of the just over 9 million dollars. He gives the Wings a true superstar that they haven't had in quite a while and gives them a top line that competes with anybody in the league.

Dzingle solidifies the top 6 but I realize he'd probably get a little more than 4.5. Having him on the second line give the Wings two lines that are a threat every time they are on the ice.

Dach slots in on line 3 *Assuming we pick between 3-6*

Zadina and Schev make the jump to full timers.

Brought Howard back because in all likelihood that is going to happen but gives our goalie prospects some more time to develop.

Ericsson to LA. Added some picks with that, they are rebuilding so they suck up his contract for another year and take the extra draft capital. I forgot to include it but we retain 50%

All other trades Gus, Jensen and Daley I think are all likely at this deadline.

All in all i think this version of the Wings has a legit top 9 and a legit top 4 that will have a chance to win every night. I don't think this team competes for a cup but they would be in the playoff hunt all year and likely grab a wild card spot. Another to develop for Dach(or similar prospect from this upcoming draft), Valeno, Zadina, Cholo, Hronek, Ras. This team is heading in the right direction.

thats a lot going on in this one. no chance panarin comes to Detroit. he wants to be a big star in a big spot and thats not Detroit. I think Nyquist gets more somewhere else. the one thing I really love is the myers deal. I love his game and while he isn't an elite dman but he is a top pair guy can play big minutes and doesn't lose his mind in his own zone like our current dmen do. they dont need to spend evevry free dollar now and let the rebuild continue.

That is a good point, I over spent a little here for sure we'll need some cap space for the future and having to sing some young guys. Dzingle and Chariot should have been left off that leaves an extra 6 million or so. It might not be Panarin but I think the Wings need a guy of his caliber, it could bre a Duchene or Stone.

Teams don't trade future 1st's for rentals. Some of your values are pretty off base, too much for Daley and Jensen, not enough to ship out Ericsson, NTC complicates the issue. In reality Wings will have to buy out Ericsson. Signing Tyler Myers longterm at 6.5 would be terrible. And yeah Panarin isn't coming to Detroit, mine as well just stay in Columbus at that point since the city is basically the same and the team is better

What's with the picks? Nyquist will get at least 5 x 6 and Winnipeg can't afford him and they don't need more wingers. What gives on the 2020 and 2021 picks? If we're dealing this players at the 2019 TDL we need picks for this year not next year or the year after. LA is even worse then Detroit and Ericsson has a 11 team trade list. I'd be surprised if LA is on it. A 2019 2nd rounder+2020 3rd rounder for Jensen maybe we're dealing these players for 2019 so those picks need to come back now not later.
