Description

TLDR:
-Byron is being moved for cap reason and his leadership is a part of why Detroit wants him.
-Kulak has good advanced stats and can bring something to a subpar defensive unit.
-Detroit wants either Poehling or Primeau added to the deal, Montreal declines Primeau right away but accepts for Poehling.
-Convo starts with a 1st.

What do you guys think about that? Who says no?
Cap fits good and you do add a quality player that has a rough start and has already been scratched this season. To me I don't think Poehling has much future in Montreal since he showed up way out of shape at the 2020 playoffs, may be wrong but there's a reason why he isn't playing 12-13 minutes as our 4LW/4C this year in Montreal.
Kulak and Byron are serviceable NHLers but depth ones which for whom we should have replacements already available (Weal for Byron and Fleury/Mete for Kulak).
If Poehling is being moved that'll leave only KK, CC and Guhle as our first rounds picks still with the team... Be real our first round picks are below average so it'd be nice to use them at their full value (This one should be in the twenties with Mantha coming in).

I know I’m a bit biased since I’m a Wings fan but this looks like a poor offer to me. None of those pieces have much value to Detroit outside of the picks. I know Mantha’s gotten off to a slow start but I wouldn’t trade him at his lowest value when he’s been great the past couple years and still has plenty of time to bounce back. I think he’ll benefit from a coaching change which will likely take place after this season since Blashill is coaching a super defensive style to limit chances from the other team.

Why in the world do Habs fans immediately go to the "Byron=Leadership!!!" card when they add him into trades. He's a friggin' cap dump, guys!

There's no way Detroit does this.

So a cap dump, a bottom six center prospect, a 27 year old with great advanced stats that isn’t ED exempt playing an average of 13 min a night, and a first + second round pick. Detroit says no as this is a quantity vs quality trade. Pieces I think that Yzerman would be after, picks, Kotkaniemi, & Romanov (obviously not together).
