<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SharkTank</b></div><div>Well if Detroit wants to improve defensively Barrie certainly won't help.

He's a lesser version of Ghost.

I don't know how bad Ghost wants to stay in Detroit?

Other teams know he sucks at defense but they love his points.

I thought Roy was a shoe in for Detroit being a Michigan Boy and knowing their need for a top 4 RD.

But apparently not? 🙄

Maybe Yzerman doesn't want Roy on the payroll for 5-6 years when he knows ASP will be a Red Wing in 2 years?

Let's say Yzerman signs Roy.

And signs Barrie for cheap as you suggest.

Yzerman would have to buyout Petry or trade/waive Johansson and trade Maatta.</div></div>

Run 8 defensemen. He actually mentioned doing that already. I signed Reimer but that could easily be a spare forward.
ASP is staying in Sweden this season. Probably a year in Grand Rapids at least, maybe a bit more. Similar route as Edvinsson I would expect. That's 3 years or so before he's on the team. Deal with Roy at the time, never know what transpires by then. Roy could be a good, overpaid though, third pairing guy by that time. The salaries can be dealt with at the time. I personally would prefer Roy or a similar player to Gost. I get the desire to have a good powerplay quarterback though which is why I brought in Barrie. At this cost, it doesn't matter if Barrie is not good defensively, I want him strictly to PPQB.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SweetRevenge19</b></div><div>How so?

This team should be harder to play against. Why is this bad?</div></div>

Well I really like your Joshua addition. Probably overpaid him by quite a bit though. At least you know he will sign here with that deal. Might hurt is in the future paying a depth guy that much. Either way that style of player is very much needed. Plays with an edge but doesn't take alot of stupid penalties but still not scared to mix it up. Strong defensive play and gives it all. I wouldn't be sad at this dollar amount but don't think it's great value.
Why give Walman away for nothing? Is he the best top pair defenseman? No, but he's the best we got on the left side and you traded him for peanuts.
Then trading Maatta for Broberg and Campbell? Why just why? Maatta is better than Broberg now, although that may change in a few years. But the cap implications are not worth it at all. Just keep Walman and the team would be better with less cap issues.
I can understand Berggren for Barron but rather keep Berggren personally.
Chatfield I don't think it's worth that but I can see the draw. He plays alright in Carolina in a good system and with a good partner.
Bertuzzi ship has sailed. I don't think either side want a reunion.
The Raymond and Seider bridge deals are actually insulting. I can understand the desire to bridge but those are both lowball offers. Probably just piss them both off and drive them to want to test unrestricted free agency more.
I doubt we see that many rookies on the team either.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>beantownboy17</b></div><div>I'd toyed around in an ACGM about doing something similar, using Ullmark to basically get a LD2 and a 2nd round pick. In that scenario it was Siegenthaler and a 2nd for Ullmark with a couple other pieces, who is a better fit than Wallman to play with Carlo I think. I don't think it's enough for Boston in this scenario.</div></div>

Seigenthaler and Carlo would be a crazy good defensive pairing. My thought process is New Jersey will likely want to improve, not take a step back. They would be creating a hole to fill another. Their d-core is so young already, I don't think they would want to lose him. I also thought Walman would be a decent partner with Carlo, more offensive type but still good defensively.
I took this scenario as Boston and New Jersey both getting better and Detroit potentially taking a step back which I feel is alright for the team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazorSeider53</b></div><div>Honestly I’m more on board with packaging our 1st for Andersson.</div></div>

Where we pick now, it would depend who's available. We still have alot of organizational holes to fill. A lot of picks didn't pan out or likely aren't going to. We have good LHD depth in the system and that's about it. Unfortunately, it seems that's the easiest spot to draft and fill for almost every team. We don't have any potential first line forwards and even top 6 I'm a bit skeptical. Danielson, Kasper, Mazur and Buchelnikov are the only players I see as potential top 6 forwards and outside of Buch, none of those guys are really skilled offensive producers.
Also, my opinion anyways, I don't think Andersson would be the right target, even though I think he's great. By the time we are good, he will be 30 and making like 8M+. Wouldn't be my first choice but I can see the draw towards wanting to acquire him.
