Back in Contention

Team: 2019-20 Detroit Red Wings

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 8, 2018

Published: Sep. 8, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

In this ideal world, Dallas contends for the cup and opts not to trade Seguin, confident that he is going to re-sign in the summer. Seguin likes the look of Detroits future and likes the contract, so signs. Detroit makes another nice splash in FA with Eberle, a RH winger they desperately need.

The Wings trade Gus, Green, Luke and Daley at the deadline, picking up a bunch of 2nd rounders for the upcoming draft.

The big move is made to get EK. They surrender this year's 1st rounder, which will almost definitely be a top 3 pick, next years 1st rounder, which will probably be much later in the 1st round, AA and Deke. 2 1sts seems like a lot, but Wings get a franchise Dman, and rack up about 4 2nd rounders in the process. Seguin is just as good as Hughes Cozens or whoever else they may have drafted top 1-3 overall.

Definitely a little young on D, but Cholo and Hronek look like legit prospects and the rest are good skaters with promising futures.
