Thread: Back to contenders
:laugh :laugh Dude you can't be for real? First off Mike Green is already on record saying that he has no desire to play in his hometown of Calgary, So Green to the Flames isn't happening. Sure dude Trevor Daley NYI 2019 2nd and Dylan Larkin for an aging Mike Smith+Mikael Backlund+NYI 2019 4th round pick obviously you don't know value here. This is a :laugh Larkin easily cost you Dougie Hamilton not this. Larkin for $2 million per for 4 years try more like $6 million to $6.5 million per for Larkin on a 6-8 year deal. At least if you're going to deal for Larkin make it fair for Detroit no need in an aging Mike Smith plus Mikael Backlund really :laugh Not even close first off no way Trevor Daley waives his NMC for Calgary. Larkin is already a better player then Backlund. You want Larkin and Daley we want Hamilton and Valimaki that's just how crazy your deal is here. Neither are going to happen.

Bump</div></div>
Huberdeau is UFA in 6, Skinner is UFA in 2. I've repeated time and time again that I don't believe my team will be cup-ready until two seasons from now, so I don't want assets that expire before that.
Not to mention, Skinner's advanced stats indicate he's quite poor at defense and terribly poor at build-up play. So if anything, you'd be sending me a pick.

If we're talking Huberdeau, we're talking Marchand/Bergeron. Or we could go with the prospect approach and be talking Tkachuk/Nolan. I'm also willing to talk Seguin if we're upping the ante to this level. I'll see if I can think of something that works in both our benefits (but generally speaking, not anxious to trade either).

We're getting closer to a mutually beneficial deal. I'll consult my AGM and return with a counter offer. Normally, I'm not too comfortable trading away my 1sts and 2nds in minor trades. I'll get back to you about this.

And for Richardson, I might do something like that (6th) to make the deal smoother for you, if I see that I can do something like that, even though I do have better options elsewhere. I won't totally go hardball on you haha</div></div>

Let me know. I feel like I'm giving up the better players (though we might disagree on where Boedker fits, he's still an upgrade on Paajarvi.)
Helm, I'm realistically expecting 2 years out of. His body might not hold up well for his style of play much longer and he'll be making way for younger players in Detroit.
So I feel like the pick upgrade is a reasonable balance to the deal.

Don't feel obligated to do Richardson, only if you see him as a useful piece. He still has some good years in him as a veteran bottom 6 winger if he's 100% this season.
I'm just trying to avoid either placing him on waivers later or giving him a younger player's place for this year.</div></div>

Alright, I discussed with my AGM. We're rather high on Paajarvi's chances in having a surprise season, as he seems to have the chance at an increased role on an improved team. But we are willing to do the trade, if you're willing to lower the stakes on picks (we'll need 'em).
