Trades

NSH

Zegras, Trevor

Additional Details:

Need for need trade. We need C depth and I feel like the Ducks could use more scoring wingers. I think Zegras would fit in Brunette's system really well. Wood and Parssinen are two bigger guys that I could see Verbeek liking.

ANA

Pärssinen, Juuso
Wood, Matthew [Reserve List]

NSH

Lundell, Anton

Additional Details:

Brunette coached Lundell for his breakout season. May not have as much offensive upside as I'd home and could be too much overlap with Svechkov.

FLA

Afanasyev, Egor
Fabbro, Dante
2024 2nd round pick (TBL)

Additional Details:

No idea what the ask would be in return. Sending back two cost-controlled players.

NSH

Kasper, Marco

Additional Details:

Seems like Kasper and Danielson are redundant for you and you already have Larkin/Copp/Compher signed with term up the middle. Seems like Stevey likes Danielson a lot more, so we take the gamble on Kasper even though he is struggling in NA.

DET

Fink, Aiden [Reserve List]
2024 2nd round pick (NSH)

Additional Details:

No clue what the ask is coming back but I know Stevey likes his 2nd rounders. Preds sell high on Fink who's top 10 in scoring in NCAA as a freshman.

NSH

Kulich, Jiri

Additional Details:

You already have Tage/Cozens/Middlestadt/Krebs up the middle and are stacked with undersized forwards in Benson/Kulich/Savoie/Ostlund. Not sure who all out of this group ends up at C in the NHL but I'll take a stab at Kulich first.

Seems like you don't know very much about the Red Wings. 🙄

Danielson and Kasper are hardly redundant, Copp and Compher can be moved to the wing rather easily. As far as Kasper struggling he's coming off a broken knee cap and it takes time to get over those kinds of injuries. Grand Rapids has won 5 games in a row and Kasper is one of the reasons why. Detroit has zero interest in a 5/9" 153 lb winger.

All four teams decline. You might rehabilitate the Anaheim deal by adding your 2024 first, but the other offers are beyond reasonable help.

You think a 26 year old AHL player gets you Kulich?

Ignoring all the guess work you did on Yzerman's value of Kasper, there's 0 chance you're getting a 20 year old 9th overall pick for a guy drafted in the 7th round and a 2nd.
