Description

**DISCLAIMER** I am not a Redwings fan, but I do empathize with their situation.

Yzerman being the mastermind he is, he most likely already has a plan. It might not be this, but it's a fun exercise to think about how many options he's got (in terms of rebuild style).

Let's hope Detroit will bounce back from the Holland years of bad decisions and playoff streak unforgiveness.

Cheers,

C4

flames and canucks trades are fine in terms of value.

Nielsen has negative value and definitely won't be getting one of Nashville's best rookies. You're paying to move Nielsen... his days are far gone.

Fabbro is Nashville's best, young, cost-controlled defenceman. He's massively important to their future. What possible reason would they have to take on a much older, more expensive, less talented player, who wouldn't even have a spot in their lineup?

I agree but I'm not sure Filppula gets traded. Yzerman signed him for 2 years maybe he gets traded if Veleno or Rasmussen were ready now but since they aren't I think Filppula spends 1 more year in Detroit and retires as a Red Wing.

I agree there is no way Neilson brings in Fabbro. What about AA for Fabbro?

Even when Ellis is back in the lineup, Fabbro fills a much bigger need than AA could for NSH. Poile wouldn't even consider it.

I wasn't sure so I figured I'd ask. Thanks for the response.
