Neither Ottawa or Detroit make those trades. Hedman only has 1 year left on hos deal until he's a UFA.... Detroit isn't going to give up Edvinsson, Berggren, and a 1st rounder for 1 year of Hedman unless Hedman is re-signed to a long-term deal first.
Ottawa definitely doesn't make that trade. The premiere power forward in the game for a decent defense prospect, a cap dump in Jeannot, and a 50 point center which Ottawa doesn't need with Stutzle, Norris, Pinto, Greig, and Giroux all capable of playing center in the top 9. Not to mention Ottawa isn't going to weaken their current roster for futures. They want to make the playoffs, so bigger pieces would have to come off the roster to make that trade work.
