That Detroit trade is actually very interesting and IMO benefits everyone

Sure from oilers I guess

I think detroit takes it only if there fine with taking johnson

Those 2-3 Detroit fans that jump into every post are gonna be mad but the trade makes a lot of sense.

yeah I think detroit takes it if there willing to take johnson

They get a young starter who is probably the best option available for Detroit, Johnson can mentor Detroits youth, Svech gets a 2nd chance - I'd throw him in with Malkin

Johnson is the WORST player in the world!! Nah from Wings. No from Oilers, I'd rather trade for someone better for a 1st and MAJOR overvalue on DeSmith!!

oilers take it and run they need a player to play alongside mcdavid on the left, and the redwings also accept because svench didnt improve in detroit and this trade gives him a second chance and murray is probably the best option for the wings.

Best option for Wings is sign a WAY better UFA goalie for FREE

you dont know anything about cap they need to get a younger goalie not some 10 mil dollar goalie.

"10 mil dollar goalie" you know nothin about cap because NO ONE is signing a goalie for 10mill this offseason!!

Wings decline, it's not even close, murray has no value to us at this time and jj has negative value.

holtby will want 6-9 mil, lehner will want 5-7 mil, markstrom 5-7 mil, howard 3-5 mil

Howard is NOT, making 5 mill. HE SUCKED last year

exactly but hell want some money 3-5 mil, probably around 3.5

He'll have to take a major pay decrease because of the season he had, 1.2 to 3.4 mill

yeah definatly, except murray for some reason. he still want 4-5 mil

Sigh. The wings are NOT looking to upgrade goaltending SHORT TERM. If you can sign Murry to a reasonable deal before dealing him that might (might) work for Det. Murry controls his fate at this point with arb rights, can force a two year deal and then walk as a UFA. But the wings will not to taking on the risk that he asks for a short term deal, so the pens would have to sign him first.

Also just cause the value for a player is thought to be one thing doesnt make him that value to all teams. Personally no I would not do this deal as I worry that Murry would not improve the team long term. I wouldn't be upset if the wings trading a 3rd for him not I dont value him at the 2 2nds that seems to be Pens fans value.

In the press conference the other day it was made clear the longer the term on the dump the higher to cost, thats what makes figuring a Johnson deal to Det hard. Also the made clear they are looking to sign a backup goalie for next season on the UFA market. Reading between the lines the wings figure that next year with the expansion draft they will find a better deal on a long term goalie.
