You can get more. Probably should swap Suter for a winger, though. Detroit is very shallow at center unless they make a FA splash, so would probably overvalue Suter in a trade until that happens. For the same reasons, we would rather trade for a forward.
I think Detroit lacks star players and if we can upgrade without giving up the farm it is time to do so. If this specific trade was offered, Detroit would be foolish to pass. Eventually a deep prospect pool either needs to develop some actual stars or get moved for great players. Detroit has a lot of good wingers, but very few great wingers. We are so afraid to move the middle six wingers or draft picks for better players, but we are never winning a cup with Bertuzzi as our clear best winger. Vrana can be (at least offensively) when he is healthy. Raymond could develop into that. Zadina is getting less and less likely. Berggren still has a lot of work to do to round out his game whether he makes the roster or not. Soderblom is intriguing, but has a long way to go. If you can grab Nylander while keeping these guys you absolutely do it, especially if we also keep our first. Raymond and Seider give us hope, and Edvinsson could be another one, but we need more players to not just stick in the NHL but hit big.
