I like both trade ideas however would expect TBL to want more considering Cirelli is practically a top 5 draft pick right now yet 4 years older.

Yeah but Cirelli needs to be paid and with Tampa already having 2 elite centers (Stamkos and Point) they can afford to lose Cirelli and his pay increase for an elite prospect on an ELC for 3 years.

Very even trade off.

Why would Detroit give up long term years of Mantha for two years of Rasmus Ristolainen? That trade does us no good as we are set at RD for the foreseeable future. With Hronek, Seider and possibly Lindstrom and other RDs within our organization. No way Yzerman deals Mantha within the division without a 1st round pick coming back. That's not even remotely happening. I'm for moving Mantha for the right price and Ristolainen isn't the right price. Detroit is set at RD plus we could draft Drysdale if we wanted to whom will be a better version of Ristolainen. Doubt Buffalo has what it takes to get Mantha. Sorry this doesn't move the needle for us.

I agree in he could be a top 5 draft prospect value wise, but he hasn't proved his scoring touch yet so I think that's perfect
If we could get mantha for that I would do it, maybe if they like Montour better than risto switch them but whichever d works do it + the other three assets.

I agree. Mantha is by far Detroit's most talented offensive player and they just traded AA. 2 things you probably take in to consideration.
