Thread: Detroit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>The reason Berggren is in the AHL is because Yzerman wants the group to have success as a team before brining them up. He had no intention of bringing up prospects. Why else would Yzerman fill out the roster with UFAs. When they needed to pull up a player from the AHL it was Austin Czarnik a 30yr old career AHLer. There are quite a few players on Detroit that won't be on the team when Detroit is ready to contend.

If Detroit moves Husso then Reimer becomes their starter? There are a couple of teams that desperately need a goalie, so you can count out signing a good free agent at this point. Reimer has better numbers but Husso has played against better teams.

Rasmussen not lighting it up up isn't an issue with his size they want him to be a defensive forward.

I can't see Petry being traded with a cap hit of $2.3M he gets to finish his career in Detroit. Which made his dad really happy. His dad won a world series with the Tigers and is currently an on air analyst during Tiger broadcasts. The Tigers are owned by the Ilitches who own the Wings as well.

This is just how I see it and I could be totally or partially wrong. Your Boston post yesterday I think RNH for Ullmark makes a lot of sense even though both fan bases here on CapFriendly hate it.</div></div>

thank you lol. Im doing all 32 teams and its pretty hard to get every team spot on, also I dont know the small detaisl like Petry's dad for example.

Thread: Step Forward
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JimmyV1993</b></div><div>I like what you did, probably a bit too much for Keller. I keep thinking about the prices people were saying Chychrun would go for, and Ottawa got him for what? 60¢ on the dollar?

Think Keller would end up going for two firsts and a defense prospect.

I like everything else though. Really think the Wings’ll prioritize getting tougher. We all watched Brady Tkachuck bend this team over, we’re all watching his brother dominate the playoffs from our own division. You can’t replicate those guys, but you can sharpen a physical edge. Seider already brings it, let’s add a few more of those to the mix to take pressure off Mo.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Datsyukian13</b></div><div>Was referring to the Keller trade - it's just not even close to something ARZ would accept.

Tara would be nice for 2 years (although not gonna happen) and I am a big Bert fan - I know you are not haha.</div></div>

Every rumored trade target is always over valued on here. Keller is great but ARZ is not going to get 3 1sts and a top prospect like people on here think.

Thread: Who might be available due to cap reasons
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wingsfannn</b></div><div>They’d have to probably move a trouba who’s been playing really well. They’d definitely be put in a tough spot. Might cause some arguments but what we need is a bonafied #1c. I think for now with where we’re at we can have kasper or veleno as 3c for next season with kasper being 2c likely in 24-25 and veleno 3c unless he’s brought down to 4c.</div></div>

I don't see Veleno being any more than a 3c and that's fine. I have my doubts that Kasper has the offensive upside to really be a good 2nd center. I'm interested to see him over here and see how his game translates to north America. I'd love a high skilled center at the draft like Oliver Moore this year though to help with the depth there.

Thread: Finally Ready to Compete for a Playoff Spot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JimmyV1993</b></div><div>Eh this would be an improvement, but I don’t think by much.

Don’t think anybody is going to get a deal worth more than Larkin unless you’re pulling Mathews or Draisatl out of UFA. Seider probably gets half a million more for 8 years. Yzerman just said he doesn’t really like playing guys on their offside, can’t see Wallinder doing that in his rookie year. Monahan leaves a lot to be desired for that spot, if Veleno isn’t out playing him idk what we’re doing.

This team still looks soft as hell.</div></div>

There is still a good 6 million to spend on adding pieces to round out the roster. I didn't go crazy with UFA's because it is hard to project who will be available. I do think that they need to add some toughness and they should be able to do so with 6 million. I believe Wallinder currently plays RD so I figured he would be a good fit there. They could move Maatta over or sign another RD if Wallinder isn't ready.
