Thread: Keeping the picks and prospects
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RedWings86</b></div><div>This is the approach I’d take and hope Stevie takes. They really just need to be bad for 1 more year. A few changes:

-Larkin probably gets 8 years
-Bert may be looking for more term as well,
-Rather go a younger goalie with upside; Husso or Giorgiev for example
-For Zad’s sake, I think you try to equip him with a better 2nd line free agent center. Avoid bidding wars and high term, if that doesn’t get him then for sure run with Suter and hope a better coach can get more from Zad
-Only signing 1 of Cole or Edler; think Cole is more likely to sign with the Wings</div></div>

Good with Larkin and Bert getting an extra year each.

I’d like Husso but I think someone is going to overpay him so I went with an older guy.

Also agree about 2C but again I think other teams will overpay Strome, Trochek, etc. I’d be happy with a trade for D Strome in Chicago or something similar.

Cole is probably more likely but I’d rather overpay Edler for a year if possible.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RedWings86</b></div><div>1. I really hope he takes a home-team discount! He’s making below what he should make atm though and I just really see the change in agent in combination w/ his recent media comments (about the team sucking) as leading to a higher $ AAV. Term is spot on tho.
2. I figured that was the case! Stevie and Bert’s media comments have them shooting for an extension this summer, and unlikely but hopefully it’s not a 1 year extension.
3. I’d think a 1st round pick is in play. Teams pay a premium for top 4 D, Lindholm could be a comparable and Hronek is younger and put up more pts.
4. Yep! I’m essentially hoping that trade doesn’t come to fruition.
5. We’ll see how he performs. With a slightly improved team, it should be better than 3.31 GAA and .901 Sv%. However, those numbers don’t warrant 3x5.25M in my opinion.
6. Agreed, game for either tbh.
7. Doubtful the 8OA will play pro their first year but I guess we’ll see! Personally thought Ras played better on the Wing, but his big body is needed in front of the net which is easier at C. Him and Jost would be an interesting 3rd line.
8. 👍
9. True</div></div>

i guess that is true about Hronek, good way to put it.

I think Ned will have a better year with an improved team but definitely going to have to earn that money!

It is doubtful for the 8OA to play but im hoping for situation similar to Cole Sillinger 11 OA i think?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RedWings86</b></div><div>1. With his change in agency, Larks will probably ask for more.
2. Assuming these are offseason moves, Bert will either be traded or extended prior to the TDL. He is not going into the offseason as a UFA with the Wings.
3. Hronek returns more.
4. Wait and see how Zadina does under a new coach, if it’s a bit of the same for sure move him.
5. Ned’s contract is too rich
6. Pasta and Weegar can just as easily receive that contract+term from a contending team. $ amount will need to be higher to attract them and probably more term needed for Weegar.
7. While I agree we probably go center in this draft, doubtful a 1st year pro center plugs into line 2 immediately. There is no C depth behind him and Ras is definitely not filling the 2C spot, consider exploring an alternative center. Also 3x3 for a 4C is too rich.
8. Curious, why are you trading Veleno? Is it with the assumption he provides a bit of the same again next year?
9. 23 FA is much deeper than 22. Better D to be had than Jensen, but also with the Wings defensive depth there may not be a need for another depth signing.</div></div>

1. Or larks enjoys playing at home, wants to save the team some $$ to win a cup in the future.
2. For sure, i agree. i set this up as 22-23 so i wasnt sure how to sign him prior
3. not sure how much more hronek returns. What were you thinking the return should be?
4. This would be a year after a new coach. Giving Stevie enough time to see what he needs.
5. i dont think so
6. Pasta is definitely more of a long shot
7. He would be a 2nd year pro at this point &amp; Ras looked like a for sure 3rd line center towards the end of last season, I agree a little high for a 4C but a former top 10 pick that steve might see some upside in
8. Yes. Does not impress the big man
9. We'll see how the D shakes out.
