Thread: turn my swag on

Awful for Detroit. Selling Vrana at his lowest value would be very stupid, he could easily be worth much more by the summer or next season. Lavoie is garbage and you'd have to cough up at least a 2nd just to take Foegle off your hands

Thread: Chychrun and Vrana

Easy pass, Vrana getting back into form and will be back in NHL soon. Poolparty is worthless and Wings wouldn't resign him

Maatta worth a 2nd all day. Solid, steady 4/5 D

Thread: chance buyer

Hard to get a sense on how Wings feel about Vrana going forward but I don't think they're trying to get rid of him for whatever they can get. Putting him on waivers was a calculated risk. Few teams could afford to claim him and the ones that could would be scared off by the unknown of him having missed the last few months in therapy. He seems to be rounding back into form now and I'd suspect they bring him back up soon.

So the Wings get a package of garbage and the Rangers get a useful top 4 rental and a 3rd lmao

Lmao putting kotkaniemi in the Larkin deal subtracts value to an offer that's already awful

Thread: Larkin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabresparaavida</b></div><div>You’re delusional if you think Cozens is the starting point for a Larkin trade. They are producing almost identically, both with 43 points this season, except Cozens is 21, and Larkin is 26. Cozens is also bringing that production playing 3 minutes less per game than Larkin, and playing with lesser linemates. I’d be surprised if a single GM would trade Cozens for Larkin, let alone a team that is rebuilding a young up and coming team, and not yet a cup contender.</div></div>

Cozens gets easier matchups to play against, Larkin faces top D pairings every night. Cozens also has no track record of producing like this. It could be real or it could be an outlier

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Nope Yzerman wants NHL ready players that can help us now, Not picks and prospects. Probably at least wants Kotkaniemi or Necas if Larkin extends.</div></div>

Those two players aren't even remotely close in value. Wings aren't touching KK and Canes aren't dealing Necas. Wings are still in full rebuild, Yzerman has never said he doesn't want picks or prospects, that was Rutherford

Thread: yeet

If rental Horvat is returning Raty + 1st Wings would want Morrow + 1st at minimum for Larkin. Probably would want another good asset as well since Canes 1st is more likely to be near the very end

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>for a guy with one goal, not a chance.</div></div>

He's kinda had some unfortunate injuries wouldn't you say? Breaking both hands from slapshots like a week apart...Wings aren't going to trade him if it's a garbage offer. One of the last picks in the 2nd round + meh prospect isn't good enough sorry. More value in just keeping him and hoping to sign him for cheaper than he would have got last year

Thread: deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Like I said we can add Sundqvist, all for it b/c I agree he’s help in bottom six (size, speed and more physicality than we have currently). Engvall is a frustrating and scapegoat for a lot of Leaf fans but pretty hard to deny he’s effective. Just pointing out those two are a wash so 1st + Minten for Bert is more than I’d be comfortable playing. Maybe if he was lighting it up this year, but 🤷 he’s not</div></div>

How about swapping out Minten for Moldenhauer?

Thread: deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Engvall is better than (at minimum equal to) sundqvist; similar prod’n but better defensively. So no reason for that move imo; if you can keep engvall & add Sundqvist - makes more sense to me. And a 1st + Minten (top 3 prospect in Leaf’s system) is much too much for Bertuzzi imo</div></div>

Sundqvist is the grinding bottom 6 F Leafs are reportedly seeking. I wouldn't get too caught up in the disparities in defensive metrics given the difference in the quality of the two teams. But if you'd prefer to keep Engvall that's fine

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikeg93</b></div><div>Do I hate this as a Leafs fan? Not really. I guess it's Minten that's the gamble for both sides. Like the kind of player he is in junior. I feel like from a far Bertuzzi has fallen off, maybe I'm wrong.</div></div>

Don't think he's fallen off as much he just has to get his stamina and rhythm back from missing two long stretches with freak injuries this year

bunting is trash, minten and niemala are decent prospects but nothing great. Wings would need multiple high end pieces, elite prospects and/or top 10 picks++ to even consider something like this

That really doesn't help at all. Two real late 1sts and a bunch of meh for a ~PPG C and a legit top 4 D, and you don't even include Knies lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DeadWingsv2</b></div><div>The value of the offer is irrelevant. Trade deadlines always get stupid and someone will massively overpay for Horvat.</div></div>

He's having an outlier season in a contract year with an unsustainable shooting % while not being the reliable defensive player that playoff teams want. He'll get a 1st+ but I dunno about anything massive

Thread: horvat

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DeadWingsv2</b></div><div>A. That doesn't land Horvat
B. Detroit are not and should not be buyers</div></div>

Vancouver isn't getting multiple 1st's or A prospects/roster players for a rental. Ras + 1st is a solid offer, Zadina and Lindstrom don't have much value but both still have some potential and could develop into useful players.

I agree Detroit shouldn't buying this year, just playing around

Wings might do that. Term washes out and Vrana seems like a lost cause now, at least in Detroit. Hard to say though without really knowing what's going on with him
