Thread: big nyi trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>If would start with Raymond, Seider or Edvinsson. It wouldn’t start with a pending ufa winger and two prospects who won’t be nearly as good as Barzal.</div></div>

Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider are off the table, Doubt Steve Yzeman would even move Simon Edvinsson but if there is some truth that Steve Yzerman is after Matthew Barzal then Simon Edvinsson has to at least be made available.

Moritz Seider is an elite franchise top pairing RHD, More than likely in 5 years or so he'll be at least top 15 in the league and a Norris candidate. Seider by himself is worth as much as 2 years of Barzal and more. Barzal alone doesn't even come close to either Raymond and Seider.

Vrana+Edvinsson+Detroit's 2023 1st round pick alone is overpay for 2 years of Matthew Barzal.

Thread: If Lou is set on signing Kadri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Yeah, I think the insiders are just making that suggestion because Detroit has the cap and that week connection, but if they aren't giving him enough term to be financially stable. A 50M deal in NY is similar to ~46.25m one in Coloradon and a 48m on in Detroit. Detroit is pretty much set down the middle anyways with the addition of Copp, so unless they plan on moving on from Larkin who needs a deal next season, I don't see them giving Kadri 9.6mx5 or 8mx6.</div></div>

Yeah signing Nazem Kadri in Detroit absolutely makes zero sense, Larkin will get his lucrative contract in the next 6 weeks or so around training camp time. Just a feeling that Tyler Bertuzzi will be out the door and Steve Yzerman might be looking to trade him for a very good package.

And as early as next summer, Yzerman will probably look at locking up Mo Seider who probably comes in around $9,500,000 to $10,000,000 x 8 years and probably sign Lucas Raymond to a bridge deal in the $6,000,000 per range i'd imagine so we can't go overboard money wise.

Thread: If Lou is set on signing Kadri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Detroit is probably just as good as the Islanders, they will have a harder time though since they are in the Atlantic but I wouldn't be surprised if they had similar or close enough point totals as the Islanders. That being said it depends on what Kadri thinks but perhaps Detroit isn't interested.</div></div>

There's been numerous insiders suggesting that Kadri to Detroit is a very real possibility if Lou can't move out the bodies to sign him.

He and his family did just buy a new home in his home town of London Ontario, Canada and both he and his dad were Red Wings fans growing up so there's that.

Term would be the issue, Yzerman would probably give him $8,000,000 per on a 2-3 year deal doubtful it would be any more than that. We shall see what transpires Training camp opens up in about 6 weeks.
