Description

This is assuming players come back from LTIR and can be traded, which may not happen. I understand this is hopeful, but if you come in and immediately say "TEAM DECLINES" then suggest a more fair trade, because Detroit isn't going to just eat bad contracts and trade decent players for 7th round picks and future considerations..

Trades

DET

Andersen, Frederik
2021 2nd round pick (TOR)
2022 3rd round pick (TOR)

Additional Details:

Im aware Campbell has been great, but I believe TOR still wants safety in net, Bernier is outperforming Andersen but most important. This trade gives TOR 3.5M in cap space to get more help for a cup run, whilst not giving up any 1st round picks, or top prospects.

TOR

Bernier, Jonathan ($1,500,000 retained)

DET

2022 3rd round pick (EDM)

EDM

Glendening, Luke

Additional Details:

No Glendening isn't great but he is underrated IMO. If anyone is going to give up a 3rd or better it would be Ken Holland. No salary retained. Just remember the percentage of players from the 3rd round to become regular NHL'rs is low, if EDM is going for a cup this is low risk for a bottom 6 guy who wins faceoffs and back checks hard.

DET

Luostarinen, Eetu
2021 4th round pick (FLA)

Additional Details:

Another team poised for a cup run with some need on D. Marc Staal is not a top pairing guy, but he's a decent number 4, with 50% salary retained I think a prospect who hasn't even played in the NHL is not even in FLA top #5 prospects and a 4th seems pretty fair.

FLA

Staal, Marc ($2,850,000 retained)

DET

Additional Details:

This one might be a little tough and your immediate reaction would ne "NO" .. However, think about it this way, you are not giving up Dobson, Whalstrom, Sorokin, Wilde or ANY draft picks.. while clearing Ladd's awful contract. Picking up some help for a cup run on the cheap and can let them walk after the year and keep the cap room. Gives Isles a lot of flexibility

(would also consider swapping Nemeth for Merril if you wanted the cheaper option, IMO Nemeth is a little better, and potentially swapping Bolduc for Wilde)

How do you figure? Hes played less than 10 NHL games and has 1 point? He may never even play here at all. Its a risk

I don’t think you will get a 2nd and a 3rd for bernier. But I don’t think that makes much of a difference. I like the move but I think dubas sticks with Andersen.

You may be right he could, but I think he wants to add somewhere else and simply can not afford it, This would be the easiest way to clear some cap, who else would they want to shed money with if not Andersen?

I agree, I think it is the right move. I think the team, staff and front office still have faith in Andersen to come back and be the starter.
