Description

I really like this trade for both teams for several reasons

Detroit:
-Adds an extra draft pick
-By taking back Chiasson, they can make this trade work for both sides without retaining any salary on Nemeth. This allows us to retain on our other rentals to increase their value and make trades work with other cap tight teams
-Detroit could potentially flip Chiasson for another draft pick

Edmonton:
-Nemeth adds defensive stability to a team that is really struggling defensively

Trades

DET

Chiasson, Alex
2022 3rd round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Chiasson sent to Detroit to match salary. This trade would be assuming that Chiasson isn't playing a significant role in Edmonton.

EDM

Nemeth, Patrik

Additional Details:

Nemeth isn't anything special but he's a solid and dependable defenseman. He's likely best suited for a second or third pair role, however, he's been playing top pair minutes since his arrival in Detroit and hasn't looked out of place. If Edmonton is still in playoff contention and wants to add defense at a reasonable cost, Nemeth would be a good option.

Not bad tbh, I'm just not sure how quarantine would affect the will of the GMs to make that trade.

The purpose of the trade is getting a draft pick, not acquiring Chiasson. The reason why I think acquiring Chiasson makes sense is so Detroit doesn't need to retain on Nemeth.

Nemeth pretty much fills a role on the top pairing line for us right now, So why would we deal him for a guy we're going to healthy scratch a lot?

I wonder if trades between Canadian and American teams start to happen a couple weeks before the TDL so the players get a longer chance to make an impact with their new team
