Description

Vegas has an obvious need to shed salary, and Detroit has an obvious need at center. This seems like it could be a pretty good deal for both sides, but valuing Willy is tricky to me. He's still an NHL caliber center, but has underperformed as of late and has had some injury trouble.

His contract also has quite a bit of term on it, which is good news or bad news depending on your perspective. I think it would be an interesting trade, I just have no idea what Vegas would want going the other way for him. Obviously, he'd have to waive his NTC as well if Detroit was on it.

Interesting...Karlsson would be a great 2C for us, and it would help Vegas shed a bit of salary to fit Eichel. I wonder what Vegas would want for him...?

Even though its for the purpose of the cap dump I think Karlsson still deserves decent value in return. I'd ask for a 2nd and a solid prospect. Maybe Hanas, Berggren or Wallinder

Yeah that's what I couldn't figure out, but he's definitely a "buy low" type of player.

And if that was the case I don't think Stevie would be willing to make the deal. Highly doubt he wants to give up prospects or draft assets given what we've seen so far

Berggren is virtually untouchable, so that's not happening. Wallinder also has too much potential to deal. I think I'd entertain a 2nd and Hanas though.
