Thread: Bertuzzi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>yeah go ahead a keep calling Beauvillier a bottom 6 forward when the last 3 years proves otherwise. Check my comment above.

I should have said great, he was simply a slightly above average forward from 2019-21. He's having a "breakout year" in his late 20's which is not sustainable.

I mean cmon man. Dude broke 20 goals once 4 seasons ago and has never broken 40 points. That's a bottom 6 player on a good team all day long. He has nice possession numbers, cool so he's a good 3rd liner. You need those guys. Problem is, they are way more common than a Bertuzzi

Thread: Turcotte Vilardi Kupari
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>M_Swann</b></div><div>I'd say Edvinsson for Turcotte, but Wings also need LD so maybe it's not a fit?

If Kings would agree to a Turcotte-Bertuzzi swap, I'd do that if I were Yzerman.</div></div>

Yea I forgot to include Edvinsson on my no trade list, I don't consider him an option right now.

I consider Bertuzzi apart of our core, and would not trade him for any of those prospects, which is why I included him on the no-trade list. I would only be willing to move him for a more guaranteed 2C, as trading for any of these 3 guys comes with a lot of risk. If Bertuzzi is what it takes to get a Turcotte deal done, then there is no deal here to be had. I like Turcotte's upside, I'm just worried he could turn out to be a wing at the NHL level, which we don't really need.

Thread: Realistic fire sale
Here's my take on the Palat trade: from a Red Wings perspective it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. He's a fine player don't get me wrong, and this trade would definitely improve our team. And depending on how much you value Svechnikov, it's basically for free. Personally I still have some hope for Svech so I don't consider it free, but some might. But I don't think there's anyone arguing that Detroit technically "wins" this trade, at least as of now. Despite this, I still wouldn't do it mainly because I just don't want Palat. I don't see how he would be useful in the long run. He most likely would not be a key piece of our team moving forward, so I don't really see why trading assets for him to basically, in my eyes, take up a roster spot, makes a lot of sense for us. That's what free agency is for, and we did that with Ryan and Namestnikov, signing them to much better deals the what Palat has, and we didn't have to spend assets to get them. If we're going to spend assets on anything, I want it to be on pieces that actually have a chance to be contributors to our team 3, 4 years from now. And admittedly, those are very few and far between. Otherwise for me, I'm just gonna stay away, keep my picks, keep drafting, keep developing, and keep the roster open for guys like Lucas or Berggren or anyone else that may pop up and demand a spot. On top of all that, we are taking Palat from a Tampa team that is currently in the depths of cap hell. I'd pay for BriseBois gas if he wants to personally drive him up here, but that's about as much as I'd pay for Palat. And that's no disrespect to the player. I just don't see why we need him.
