What on Earth is Detroit doing?

Starting to think there is a Wiser-plan than the Yzerplan

why

Wild Deadline Requirements:
- Be a Forward
- Be Swedish

Don't tell Buffalo they could've gotten Sundqvist for a 4th instead of Greenway for a 2nd and a fifth.

A 2nd rounder or Yzerman just re-signs him.

Basically just replaced greenway

About what you'd expect for a bottom 6 rental

He skates like a new born giraffe but he's big dude and gets the job done.

Sundvquist is a good bottom 6 forward, however I have no idea what Detroit is doing.

I have always been someone to believe Yezrman has some sort of master plan for make the Wings unbeatable, and have believed that he is basically playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers, however here’s the thing now.

He passed up on Wallstedt, the best goalie prospect that doesn’t have the name Wolf, in favor of Cossa who hasn’t looked great in the AHL. He traded one of their best young defensemen, who is becoming RFA, not UFA. He hasn’t got the best value out of his players. I perfectly understand why they are selling, the East is stacked, however they are not getting enough for their assets, and are making questionable decisions in the draft as well. Yes they have had some bad luck as well, but there have been some bad decisions.

I think Stevie traded away everyone that I wanted gone this TDL, I'm pretty happy about it in all honesty. Only one that shocked me was Hronek, and even then it's up the in air. Let's face it, the wings are the 2nd youngest team in the NHL, with 3 rookies who will finish in the top 3 of calder within the last 2 years (I believe Berggren will be top 3). Relax, sit back and let's see how FA works.

Not a bad price for a depth rental.

A 4th round pick has only about a 10% chance of turning into an NHL regular, so Detroit might not get anything real out of this deal.

4th rounder are also traded for asset, as we can see.

Sundqvist is worth a 3rd round pick, if not more.

And he's the better player with the better contract than Greenway.

Minnesota wins the trade.

Huh? You mean ALEX NEDELJKOVIC (unless you mean Berggren, dont think hes close to top3 this year) Kinda random to mention as part of the 3 rookies as IF he's this great asset when he's their 3rd goalie, he's 27 and could be had for a song.

Well you know I did specifically say Berggren so not sure where you are pulling Ned from, and from a pure rookie standpoint of no previous NHL seasons experience he was 3rd, now 4th. Factoring the handful of games played he is behind Johnston & Sanderson, he very well could be past both of them in points too. To pace for roughly .5 PPG is a nice accomplishment given he hasnt had any benefit of experience.

Wild win.

I completely forgot about this trade
