Team: 2023-24 Detroit Red Wings

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 2, 2023

Published: Jun. 2, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Without a real 2c, this Team will continue to be too crappy to make the playoffs but not crappy enough for the high picks we need. Add the 2c for our boston pick, and if scheifele doesn’t work out then we can move him for another ‘24 1st. Losing berggren sucks but we have plenty of replacements.

Pionk gives a real partner for edvinsson

Moving the ‘24 1st for 4OA and drafting Carlsson for a real 1c in the future to head up Larkin and Kasper.

Pick to SJ has always been DET. The questions is what’s more valuable, 17 this year or unprotected DET pick next year.

That’s hard to say. Taking strength of draft class out of the equation I think Detroit picks top 10 again next year so I’d rather have detroits pick.

I'm on Detroit's end. Wouldn't give much more than that otherwise you're looking at being able to get Kyle Connor lol

If the trade happened I wouldn’t be fully upset. It’s a shot at getting Ollie Moore and Tom Willander but the potential of Michkov is massive. I really want Michkov.

Agreed, I think it works out well for everyone, but totally understand SJ fans that don’t want to move 4OA without a kings ransom.

That's fair. I want Michkov too. If I'm Detroit I'm looking heavy into trading up. Walking out of this draft with Smith/Carlsson/Michkov and Willander is entirely possible.

Realistically, without trading, my drafts would go Leonard + Willander. If Leonard isn't there, Moore.

We’ll if he’s not extended then he can be traded for similar assets. I think Yzerman needs to make moves to be competitive and at least with sheifele those costs can be recouped if it doesn’t work out.

I think bertuzzi’s extension negotiations were an exceptional circumstance. the only reason bert wasn’t extended was because his next contract’s value truly is such a big question mark. Either way I think Yzerman will sign a similar player to a similar contract if it’s not bertuzzi.

As for the sharks pick, I think you’re right, but Im being wishful.

Except Bert has been to arbitration too already in Detroit and none of his contract negotiations went very smooth. It's not like this one was an isolated incident and now he wants back in the rebuild. You want Bert you have to pay the most to get him and Yzerman won't, It's just done at this point.
