DAL-DET TDL

Detroit declines. Rather just re-sign Bert. Most Red Wings fans on here will accept.

Thanks for the feedback. I can see that. I think that's what makes this potential trade fun and speculative. Stevie Y is very mum on his plans, but I do think Nill having familiarity with the Red Wings and that organization makes Bertuzzi a deadline fit. Every player has a price though.

I do think if Bert is traded that Dallas would be the favourites because of the Yzerman/Nill connection. Stevie likes trading with his buddies. Trust factor with him is huge. Don't count Tampa out. Yzerman and Brisebois are close. But Tampa doesn't have much to offer.

I'd like to see Bert on the Rangers though because I think he could win a Cup there. His game is tailor made for the playoffs and I believe Stevie and other GM's know this which is why I think he'll get more than what CFACGM's think.

I think a DAL trade needs to net Bourque at a minimum (if not Stankoven). Maybe that's not realistic, and I understand that, but maybe moving Bert isn't realistic either

If we can have a decent upcoming road trip Stevie might not be selling at all. Unfortunately we're not getting Stankoven. ☹️
