Thread: Everybody Happy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Yzerman would never accept that, Rumors are he doesn't want Domi and an aging RD that doesn't fit our rebuild and if true Petry wants 3 x $6m Yzerman would never give it to him.</div></div>

I know, was half joking about Mantha trade. Tried it before and you wings fans want to keep him. Fair enough. But this proves also that Petry won'T go to the wings. As you mention, He will ask for more money than the wings would offer him. They are in a rebuilt and in a pandemic situation. Makes more sense for the habs to put that much money since he's part of our core and ''in theory''we should contend for playoffs at least in 2021-22. I guess he will visit his family on days offs. Just 1hour flight from Montreal.

Thread: A realistic dream
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>A couple of things. First it really doesn't matter how I or The Wings value Mantha WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO TRADE HIM. It's not like me or another Wings fan on this site is trying to force him down your throat 15 times a day for more than he is worth. Second and this one you might want think about for a while because I think the concept is going to be hard for you to grasp because you are having so much trouble with Detroit doesn't want to trade Mantha. As soon as you start to argue how not good or bad he is it completely undermines your argument for wanting him it’s called a logical fallacy. Plus it doesn’t make you look very bright.</div></div>

I guess you're too emotional about Mantha to discuss any trade. I can understand that. I like Suzuki a lot and it would take a lot for me to trade him. But Please remember that this site is for discussing trade values, and... it's just for fun.
My post mentionned, right from the start that a trade COULD be possible if Mantha was not interested in signing long term with Detroit.
What you are saying is that , no matter if Mantha wants to sign long term or not with the wings, you are still not listening to any offers. Ok.

Thread: A realistic dream
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>If you want to go on about maturity, I got a suggestion for you: Stop describing how much you want Mantha like a toddler in a candy factory and start showing some empathy, asking yourself if Detroit would want to trade him. They dont. He's a young power foward on a cheap contract. No way they would agree to downgrade for Domi troubles.</div></div>

Many many things are taken into considerations in those types of trades. It's not as simple as : Do Wings fans like Mantha ? Yes. Ok so he is un-tradable.
First, why don't you mention the 1st pick and the 2nd pick that I added. You just mention Domi. A 16 OA pick could easily turn out to be a Mantha. Mantha is not a generational talent. Also, it is possible that Mantha is not incline to go through the massive rebuild the wings have to undergo and would sign the shorthest term possible with the wings. Are you certain that this is not so ? Have you tought about it ? You only rely on Wings fan saying they don't want to trade him. I am sure GM consider many options. So here's 3 questions for you. Let's say you are Detroit GM. a)How many years you think until Detroit becomes a contender ? b)Do you see Mantha as an first class leader around which you build a team. c)Would you accept three 1st pick for Mantha. I hope you won't answer : ''You just donT' get it. Wings will not trade Mantha''. Please....try.
