Thread: Hollands offseason plan trades w Buff Det Kings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NLidstrom</b></div><div>Detroit is going to pass. Haas isn’t a sweetener at 28, and Chiasson while he may help isn’t of interest for a 3rd round pick. Maybe a 5th if Yzerman likes what he brings off the ice too.

Habs fans will be glad he’s not going to Montreal in this AGM though lol

As a player with 1 year left on his deal, Larsson to LA only makes sense if LA can flip him for more at the deadline.

I don’t know how the games will be split between Koskinen and Markstrom, but it would be an interesting duo. Probably the tallest goalie tandem in the league too</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>Wings decline. Chiasson + 2022 3rd for futures</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Detroit passes, We'll get our help through free agency not giving up picks for players that don't help us.</div></div>

Detroit has a bottom-3 PP so they should be interested in Chiasson, but they probably don't want to jinx the tank job. Better to trade him to a team that thinks they can make the playoffs and needs PP help: CBJ, NAS, NYI or MTL, for instance.

Here's why:

2019-20 Edmonton 5v4 on-ice
McDavid + Draisaitl <strong>with</strong> Chiasson: 15.45 GF/60
McDavid + Draisaitl <strong>w/o</strong> Chiasson: 10.24 GF/60

Alex Chiasson vaulted a top-3 PP into the top-3 <strong>all-time</strong>. He's one of the league's best net-front guys.
