Why are red wings fans freaking out this hard.... there is a hockey trade to be had here, maybe it needs a first in it - but the red wings are a bad team with one good center. Don’t tell me there isn’t a configuration of domi for mantha that doesn’t work, you are all clowning hard
Ok, let me tell you why.
1st do not call me a clown or clowning because I disagree with you.
2nd, yes we need a center, but we are rebuilding and we have Veleno, Rasmussen and possibly a center in Rossi if we pick him in the draft.
If we traded Mantha for Domi as many Hab fan's have posted, it possibly fills one hole at center but opens another hole in scoring winger. Yes Larkin is our only center, now. We have several prospects in GR, like Veleno, Rasmussen and if we pick Rossi in the draft there are 3 potential centers.
Here are some of the Mantha trades proposed
Mantha for Domi
Mantha for two 2nds and Mete for Mantha
Mantha for Poehling 2nd and 3rd
Mantha & 2nd for Domi, Poehling and a 3rd
And my favorite
Mantha and Veleno for Tatar, Petry, Poehling and 2nd and 3rd in 2022
Do I think there is a trade to be made, yes but I think Wings and Wing's fans see Mantha as a building block and because so they want A+ prospects and picks and Habs want to deal their overruns and players they believe do not need. Wings want Domi, possibly but not for their #1 forward.
Wings in a rebuild and trading one of their best players for other teams extra pieces is just not the way to rebuild even if Hab fans think so.
I really wish now, Montral won th e 1st picks and got Alexis so they would stop this crap.
