Thread: Detroit Red Wings: What Needs to Happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>conear2502</b></div><div>I love how in your "2018/2019 Opening season" roster you have Jonathon Ericsson as a first-pairing defenseman. He is a pylon and his -7 rating and 13 points prove that. A good defensive-defenseman should score at least 20 points and his stats in no way set him up for a first-pair position. Maybe you're the one who doesn't know value.
Also, Larkin getting $7 million is a terrible deal. He has potential, but it is a huge risk for the Wings to pay him that.
$4.5 million for Mantha isn't terrible for his goal-scoring, but I don't agree with giving him that much.</div></div>

Where do you think Blash has had Ericsson most of the season top pairing with Trevor Daley? I'm not saying it's a wise choice to put Ericsson on the top pairing. But he's a better choice over both Kronwall and DDK. DDK has been a tire fire on the top pairing and Kronwalls knees being shot that only leaves Errorsson unfortunately. I only went with what Blashill has been doing. As far as Larkin being worth $7 million i totally agree he's not worth that much quite yet. But you've to remember that Holland loves to over-pay his star players. I think Larkin will get closer to $6 million or $6.5 million per for 6 to 8 years but i wouldn't rule out him getting closer to $7 million per either. Tough to tell right now. I think Mantha is probably worth around $3.75 million to $4 million on a 3 year bridge deal but $4.5 million for a supposed 30/30 power forward isn't unreasonable Larkin is the future of the Wings organization and will be paid accordingly Mantha probably slightly lower.
