Thread: wings
I like where your heads at, but agree with DeadWings that we need impact up front. a true #2 center would really help move this team up a rung. Suter clearly ain't it and Veleno probably isn't ready for the role yet. I could see Stevie taking a pass at Trocheck or maybe swinging a deal for Monahan assuming he's actually going to be healthy. Wouldn't hate Palat either.

As for the D, just about anything is an upgrade. There's help on the way, but at a minimum they need 3 new defenseman. Edvinsson will likely be one of them, but they need a few more guys to plug holes in the lineup. I've been looking at a guy like Rutta and have also thought about Zadarov. UFA D market is weak though, so this is a need Detroit may have to fill be trade.

We also clearly need a backup for Ned. I'd like to see a guy like Wedgewood, but its likely he's staying in Dallas. Plenty of other options out there though.

Thread: What does a Monahan deal look like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PredsWingsFan</b></div><div>Don't forget about what Fabbri and Vrana became after an Yzerman move. This would be a good deal for Detroit if they moved a 5th, 6th or 7th just for Monahan nothing retained. The risk vs reward for Detroit to "pay" for Monahan isnt so bad. The likely hood of a 5th, 6th, 7th round pick making it in the NHL is not very good. Calgary being in a spot that requires them to move his contract works for Detroit to gain more from Calgary. Id look for Calgary to maybe send back a 4th or 5th with Monahan, Detroit gives them future considerations... That would be a win. Overall though, like I said, worst case I would be ok with Yzerman giving up a 6th straight up. Its a one year deal, we have the room, experiment on this one.. say "but what if"... nothing to really lose</div></div>

Pretty much the way I see it. If he can get healthy and return to better form that he has been the last couple years, Yzerman looks like a genius. If he can't hack it anymore, at worst Detroit gave up a late pick who will probably never see the show. Very low risk from Detroit's side
