Thread: 2020 lineup - Yzerman going young

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redw1n9s</b></div><div>You can make any ridiculous comparable argument you like. That's an absurd number for Bert, who is really more of a 3rd line type player. Unless the cap goes way up he shouldn't sniff $5.5M per year.

Comparing him to WIlson is lol funny</div></div>

His agent is going to compare him exactly that way, along with any arbitrator or mediator. That is how it works. If he goes to arbitration right now, his floor will be Tom Wilson (he wouldn't earn less than that), and with his stats better than Wilson on every level, he'll likely earn way more than Wilson via arbitration. What doesn't work is "fans" that don't know the game making judges on player values.

I can compare him to 15 more players in his age range and situation, and all make more than Wilson, and he's equally in line or better in counting stats and advanced metrics. Numbers matter, fair weather fans don't.

Retention has a better long term impact than a buyout. Unlikely nonetheless.

I don’t think he should. He’s got a lot of potential, but he should play the half the season w the griffins

Thread: Bert and Erne

You might hate the way the lineup looks but so what, spending now doesn't really help the club make the playoffs. Wings are getting in a good position with lots of cap space, and more expiring contracts. In a year or two it will be time to spend. Few teams will have cap, Wings can be choosy in acquiring assets.

Sorry I'm an idiot. Helen St. James writer for the free press and she been covering the wings since 1996. A Winnipeg fan sent me a link a little before the opening of free agency. When we were arguing about Trouba for Mantha or AA.

Help me out. Who is JW the source?

You're referring to Detroit's and NYR's bids to Winnipeg for Trouba being close, right?

Thread: Kase

Yeah Detroit doesn't take this trade. Here's an easy way to look at it:

The Rangers got Trouba for Pionk and the 20th OA in the draft. Cheveldayoff wanted one of the following from Detroit AA, Mantha or Hronek. Now I think if AA or Mantha was on the table Cheveldayoff takes one of them instead of Pionk, Right? So if Detroit was unwilling to give up AA or Mantha for Trouba why would they for Risto?

Do it. But in a few years it could hurt without 1st round picks for 4 years. If you win a cup I'd say it's worth it. But if you don't...

Thread: Let's get a bit more creative - mock draft challenge

If you want to make an "assuming-no-trades mock draft" go post that in the mock draft forum or something. Let's get creative here: Give me your TRADES mock draft. This doesn't mean you MUST include a trade, but don't leave out trades just to make it easier. Only leave trades out if you actually think they will/should not happen. This is just a way to get a bit more creative and make it a little bit more challenging while keeping it pretty simple.

I will make one tonight or tomorrow, but I am curious what others think.

So, this is just a normal mock draft challenge, but with trades.

Edit: Trades can include just picks, or they could include picks and players/prospects, or even just players/prospects. Any trades.

Thread: Hopeful off-season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JMeyer18</b></div><div>Many of those prospects have yet to even step foot on the nhl ice. Let's see what we have first before we trade away guys like AA. As for Trouba, he's from MI and his family is here. He's going to end up here one way or another. Even if it means spending another season in WPG or with another team until he hits free agency.</div></div>

Thread: Hopeful off-season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JMeyer18</b></div><div>It does not make sense for us to trade AA. At least not right now. Wings struggle to score so we're going to trade one of our only two 30 goal scorers? No need to even make a trade for Trouba. If he wants to come here he will when he becomes UFA. We're in a rebuild right now, it makes no sense to trade away high end assets.</div></div>

But you're loaded with forward prospects that can replace AA's production, your defense is way less impressive, you need to make the Trouba trade before someone else beats you to him, don't risk it and make the damn trade!!... Lol

That is why you are not employed by any team as a scout. Any input on why you feel he isn't good? Bad skater? Not a good shot? Can't think the game at the pro level? Doesn't play defense? Zadina had a very good first pro season as an 18-year-old in a professional league. He looked very good in his 9 game stint in Detroit. Sorry, he didn't light up the AHL, but that doesn't mean he is a bust like Nail Yakupov.

Ottawa wouldn't at least I hope they wouldn't. As a Wings fan I'd love to have Chabot but as kww3 said its a pipe dream.

We traded Pavel's contract...why can't we trade Z's?</div></div>

We had to trade Datsyuk's contract to free up cap space because he just retired. Zetterberg's retirement was caused by his bad back putting him on LTIR and Detroit gets his entire cap hit back if needed.
