Team: 2022-23 Detroit Red Wings

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 4, 2022

Published: Jul. 6, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

First trade:
Dependant on if they can come to an agreement or not. If they can't and he wants to much money the trade his rights to Detroit who can afford to pay him. I think Deangelo is a really good player and I would love to see him and his style of game on the Red Wings.

Second trade:
Kind of based it off the McDonagh trade. Vegas dumps Martinez and Brossoit for a prospect who has struggled a bit because of injuries and finds himself lower on the depth chart in Detroit and a goalie to play in the AHL.

Third trade:
Dallas gets a good puck moving defenseman who lead Detroit on points two seasons ago. He could use a steady partner and I think Suter or Lindell could be that guy.

Fourth and fifth trade:
Trading for players to get bought out and receiving some compensation for it. Both teams need to clear cap pretty badly. Calgary gives up a second and Florida since they don't have many picks gives up Luostarinen. I think given the opportunity he could develop into a decent middle six player and I feel he's buried with the depth of the Panthers right now.

Free agents:
I signed Colin White giving him a bit of cash and two years of term to take a chance that he could still develop into the player they thought he was going to be. Worst case he is an inexpensive depth player who comes off the book in two seasons.

One of the reasons I signed White and traded for Luostarinen is to give alot of competition for playing time and hopefully spark players to play a bit harder and earn their spots. There will be even more competition once Fabbri returns from injury.

Also, I don't really know what a deal for Deangelo's rights would look like so don't roast me too hard on value there. I feel alot of teams won't be interested with his little contraversy and alot won't be able to afford his salary.
