Thread: Trade Everything for this guy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Terry_AkiSauce</b></div><div>Crazy how a guy can play 63 NHL games and be completely untouchable - I'd be willing to argue whether this package is enough but everyone in the league is available at the right price
In this trade you get your RW1 until Raymond surpasses him, a RD who is OBVIOUSLY worse but still a young guy that will play top 4 minutes, Knies, who people are calling one of the better prospects in the game, and on top of that another first round pick. Leafs get the better player without a doubt but the Red Wings get better</div></div>

honestly think its pretty understandable. If Seider joins the leafs, he would instantly be their best defenseman. He is only 20 years old and has 2 years remaining on his ELC. Compare that with any of the greats like McDavid, Draisaitl, Matthews, etc who are all have cap hits over 10 mil and haven't won anything. Then take a look at your offer: a decent offensive winger with defensive lapses, a mediocre defensive prospect with defensive lapses, another winger prospect (like we need more wingers) and a late first round pick. No man, Detroit is not interested in trading Seider to Toronto for anything they have.

Thread: Off Season 22
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>Holl is a slot in replacement for Hronek who is +14 on the season, Hronek is -18 this season and was -18 last season and -38 the one before that.

Zadina has never scored 20 points in a season and is -24, Nylander has scored 52 points in 57 games this season.

Hronek is 2nd worst on the team in +/- among D (only Leddy is worse). Zadina is the worst of all forwards on the team.

This offer is a massive win for Detroit and would be so even if the 2nd round pick was going the other way.</div></div>

+/- isn't really a good metric for comparison since it depends a lot on team play. And when you have one team that is consistently at the top of the standings and another that is in the bottom, its kind obvious that the +/- is gonna favor the better team.

Hronek has carried defensive core of the red wings for the past few years. He was the top player in points for the entire team last year. He's maybe not the best defensively, but you have to factor in that a lot of that - rating comes while playing alongside DDK. Zadina on the other hand is still young and has a lot of upsides as a player. He would definitely benefit from playing alongside better offensive players like Tavares and the offensive numbers would come.

All in all, its not a bad trade for Detroit. While it doesn't address any of their major weaknesses, I still feel that Nylander can be a gamechanger for them offensively. I may try negotiating around some of the supplemental pieces - I don't have much love for Holl, but otherwise I think there is something there.
