<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wingsfan33</b></div><div>Personally I don't like the Edmonton trade; I don't think nuge is a center in this league. I think he is better suited to be a winger in this league. Personally I'd rather have the first round pick for green, frk and sheahan are a wash and won't amount to anything besides bottom 6 forwards which are replaceable.

Don't see Calgary doing the deal unfortunately with the addition of mike smith I don't see a need for Calgary right now. They have plenty of quality goalie prospects who I would love and are one season away from being in the league.

Pitt deal I love it, don't think it works for them, I proposed a sheahan/helm for hagelin deal to help salary cap.

Lastly we're stuck with the cone until he opts to have surgery</div></div>

-I think a 24 year old RNH has a lot of potential as a top 2 center. Even if he is better on the wing then put him beside Larkin or AA for the next 10 years. And yeah Sheahan had a bad year last year but I still see a fair amount of potential in the 25 year old.
-Yeah Calgary has Mike SMith but he's 35. IDK a lot about Calgary's goalie prospects but I know Mrazek(whos only 25) has shown he can be a top goalie in the league, especially with the Flames' defense in front of him.
-Like I said Detroit would have to take on one of PIT's bottom 6 guys(Maybe Reaves) to make PIT cap compliant
- With Ericsson, Detroit is trading a 4th and a 6th for a 7th to get rid of his contract, plus the Devils need to be at the cap floor.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Green4D4Again</b></div><div>Another possible landing spot for Mrazek is Ottawa. History there in junior and there is no telling who mans the net next year with an aging Anderson and an unproven #1 in Condon. I foresee a move that either gives Detroit a 3rd round pick in 2018 and maybe Claesson or Englund in return for Mrazek and a 5th or 6th round pick.

I doubt Winnipeg will give up Trouba for so little despite the fact that he is playing behind Myers and Byfuglien. If anything they will keep him as an RFA and either receive an offer or resign come season end (Enstrom's contract is up next year).

I think the Dallas trade is fair. There will be looking for defensive depth come the playoffs if all goes well this year.

Pittsburg is in an interesting position this year because they don't have the depth at centre on the bottom two lines. Helm would be attractive but I can see them going younger and cheaper.

With that Colorado trade, it all depends on where Sakic thinks this team is despite the horrendous year last year. They will have a healthy Varlamov back, younger D and some prospects coming up. If they feel they can compete than Ericsson stays and is either traded to Arizona or New Jersey.

I like it.</div></div>

I think Detroit could get a 1st rounder out of Mrazek if he plays well early in the year. He's 25 and hopefully coming in with something to prove. Maybe Detroit packages a lower prospect with the pick.
I may be over estimating Nyquist's value but I think a top 6 forward, a young D, and a 3rd rounder is fair for Trouba. But interchanging Nyquist and Tatar works too. They're basically the same player.
The Pittsburgh trade could be any team that needs a 3rd center. Colorado could be any team that needs help reaching the cap floor and needs a body on D.
