Thread: Combination of ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redwingsfan04</b></div><div>I agree that we won't be ready to compete for a while and I like the idea of bringing in some veterans. I don't mind the Islanders trade that much if we could add some prospects or picks. I also wouldn't mind just taking Boychuk and being compensated better-I think Boychuk is still a solid NHL defenceman and would be a good leader.

We could definitely get more from Vancouver. I'll assume that you agree that Eriksson's contract is worth a 1st+3rd/4th or somewhere around that. While Demko has been looked at as a future star, he's not worth quite that much. He's already 24 and hasn't really broken out yet. He definitely could become a starter but he could also never turn into anything. Also, with the future Seattle expansion draft, Vancouver wouldn't be able to protect Demko since Markstrom looks like the goalie of the future. I see Demko worth around a high 2nd, and then add another 2nd to get to similar value to a 1+3/4.</div></div>

So adding another B level prospect from both teams is what you are saying which seems doable

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redwingsfan04</b></div><div>I'm wouldn't want to do the Islanders trade because of the salary we would take on. Leddy and Boychuk combine for $11.5 mil for the next 2 years and we wouldn't be adding any pieces to our rebuild. I agree with the idea that we should bring in some guys to shelter our prospects but I think Seider will be NHL ready when next season starts and we could sign some guys in free agency. We could get a lot more from the Vancouver trade. Eriksson's contract is worth either a 1st and a 3rd/4th or Demko and a 2nd imo.</div></div>

I don’t see us being ready to contend until 22 so taking on the contracts and sheltering the kids/bringing in veterans to help them was the goal. I was going to have seider come up as soon as green gets injured (as always) or once he gets dealt at the deadline. During the 21 season we would be able to move the veterans brought in. However come 22 we would have 33 million coming off the books and ready to buy and be ready to make runs.

Warrior is a islanders fan so I waited for there feedback so we could add some more prospects from them. Vancouver I could not see them adding even more since Demko could be a number one goalie

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>No, No, No. Wings need multiple defensemen. Sieder is one piece and Hronek is the other piece. Yzerman is in this for the long hall and he is not trading top 5, Larkin, Mantha, Bertuzzi, Hronek and Sieder. Might add Zadina also. Unless someone blows off his door and trading one of those for a guy who PROJECTS, but has never played in the NHL, would be stupid and set rebuild back.</div></div>

I get bert, Mantha, Larkin, Zadina, and seider are untouchable but if you have a potential at a generational talent you can give up a guy who could be replaced. Wings have others on the right side in seider, lindstrom, and antti tuomisto. Again just saying if scouts say take this generational talent as that’s what this team lacks it’s worth it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Karr31</b></div><div>Less than zero chance you're getting 4 assets for Getzlaf at this stage of his career, but especially not this year's 1st &amp; Robertson. Dallas has plenty of veteran leaders to carry into next season, would expect more youth to get a chance given unique circumstances all teams will be facing until things get fully back on track.</div></div>

Alright this is good to know I just wanted to get a feel I just like the idea of him getting one kick at the can and I can see him here so I was over asking to see how well it would work. So maybe a 2nd, faska, and honka?
