Description

I do believe this trade 100 percent favors the Wings, however it is interesting to see the Leafs with the added depth with Raymond and Fabbri.

I don't think Brad is going to let Nylander get anywhere close to that 10 million number and nor should he be. If Nylander does not want to move off his number, it is likely he will be moved.

While the Wings likely don't have the cap this season to sign Nylander, the cap going up to nearly 88 million next season as well as not having Perron's nearly 5 million in cap space makes it easy for the Wings to consider the move.

Thoughts?

Wings probably just keep Raymond. Lucas well be 23-24 when this team is finally competitive, Nylander will be 29-30.

That's clearly the logical thought. The moves the Wings made recently makes me feel like they want to compete this season in a weakened Atlantic

Not paying Raymond for rental Willie. Rather sign him as a UFA next July. You can have Fabs. Good player. Hardly plays.

Ah yes, this website's favorite quote. Sign them when they're a UFA next season !

While I feel like the Wings would have a legit chance to entertain a Nylander offer with them pretty much being team Sweden, there are still 31 other teams that would be bidding for his services.

Its a solid trade that Yzerman would probably accept.

Only issue, like you said, is what Nylander's next contract would look like. I hate the idea of paying a guy over $10M a year, unless it's a select few.
