Pass all day, use assets to bolster areas of weakness not strength. We have 4 including Edvinsson. I'm sure you are the type of person who wants to abandon rebuild for a bunch of now people and be mediocre forever. Worst take of any wings fan on this site. Wings aren't trading for a LD get that through your skull braniac

lol Edvinsson isnt even guaranteed to be a top 4 NHL Dman

And your not guaranteed to be a fan that knows what Yzerman is doing

This has nothing to do with what Yzerman is doing...I never said anything about Yzerman.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

You can't understand how rebuilds work either apparently

Rude and un necessary

Uh what's rude about that? It's pretty accurate

It's okay....people get angry when they can't understand things. It's human nature.

If you don't realize how valuable of a prospect Wallinder is, you haven't been paying attention. Kid is going to be an absolute stud.

I know right, why so serious. I wonder sometimes why so many on here are so angry, it's not real, these opinion or suggestions aren't actually happening. I wish instead of anger and negative responses, that constructive criticism or some coaching those with less hockey knowledge or team awareness happened. Oh well, I guess we are ALL here because we have nothing better to do LOL

I understand that you know 0 about the red wings or the nhl

Trust me, I pay attention, and really hope so, but unfortunately it's rather unlikely he'll be as good as we want him to be.

If Wallinder is as a stud, and Ed is a stud, and Albert is a stud, where do all these studs go? Where do they play? How do we pay them?

Eventually assets need to be used or moved. This would be an opportunity to do that for a known NHL asset. Simple as that.

Still wouldn't do it for the 2023 1st though (either one).

lol you're cute

Thanks baby

Ignore him; he's obtusely cynical towards prospects.

Literally cannot wait to be right. Cannot wait.

I think Albert will be a very good NHLer, maybe not a stud though. Wallinder and Edvinsson should NOT be moved as far as I'm concerned. The ceiling is WAY too high. As for moving assets, you do it when it make sense and you have a crunch. Ultimately, yes, one or more of them will probably need to be moved, but let it play itself out or at LEAST make the painful decision to move one when it's for a position of need and we're CLOSE. Right now, futures, prospects and development is FAR more important than adding a "win now" position we don't need. LD is NOT a need and we aren't in a crunch with any of those prospects, so moving them now, is just poor asset management.

Absolutely 100%. For the record, I would never expect this trade to go down, especially with the 2023 1st.

But there is absolutely a case to be made for trading for a piece like this. Hanifin is 26 - that is not a win now piece. Larkin is 26. That is a future core piece. It's not like this trade is for Suter.

Your stance of "you don't know how a prospect is going to be until they are" is always correct?
It is quite literally the safest option to go by.
It's also how you end up with "what could've been."

Almost as smug as the "hmm yes you hate society but yet you participate in it hm" losers lmao.

Exhausting

Oh believe me; same to you.
