<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Why would they want Jones? Detroit probably loses Stecher. Jones has a 3 team trade list and I doubt Detroit is on it. With a $5.75M cap hit for the next 3 seasons I wouldn't take him for just a 1st. I think extending Bernier makes a lot more sense.</div></div>
Usually if a player is approached with a trade they will waive the NTC, sure some players stick to it, but most team players waive it so i doubt it would be a huge issue, I doubt the sharks give up a first to move him. Lesson learned from Karlsson trade, but if the wings are offered this i would assume they take it and run.

Abby on a 2 way minimum payment deal, i would be ok with, keep him in rapids and pull him when needed. Hes not awful, his CONTRACT was awful, but a simple 795k in AHL would be fine.

New Lines
Although i dont really think it was a bad trade for columbus, I dont really think it helped that much either, this is IMO opinion a lose lose for both teams. CBJ needed PLD more than they need Laine, and vice verse. I get that Winnipeg now has crazy good depth at center, they need a high skill winger more than PLD. I dont really understand why they each team thought they should do this.

It was 1 game? I would not accept this deal either, Jack Johnson is worse than Merrill by more than a few late round picks IMO, maybe swap with a 3rd and a 5th and i would do it.

Best with Cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pond_Duck</b></div><div>This is really good team, probably a cup winner.
But next try this with no ELC.</div></div>
youd have to ditch Hedman, Draisatl, Hellebuyk and probably one of the top line wings, its not really nearly as good a team. The average good winger makes 4+ per, i have essentially 5 RFA excluding suiting 7 D and an extra F.
thats nearly 25M assuming you could find great players in the 4-5M range, i was going to use Sergachev instead of Hughes, but again, then you gotta ditch someone else.

We would be willing to trade him for sure, i think this deal favors the wings but anyone claiming Dekeyser is garbage is wrong, hes decent, just overpaid. Flirts with top 4 but really is a good bottom pair guy, which is why i dont think this trade is very fair for the Jets

I think thats the issue for the wings, we dont really have anyone that can help them now, i tried thinking Filppula but anyone that could help them now Detroit likely cant part with IE Mantha Bertuzzi or Larkin

Revised Laine Trade
Wings fans all say "wings pass" lol to every trade,
I actually think Ritchie might work out for the wings, hes only 25, former first round pick that hasnt panned out just yet, but he isnt exactly a bust
I dont think the wings would give up 3 picks for him, but id say maybe a prospect or a 4th rounder and i would go for it, Boston may end up waiving him anyway? so wings could take a flyer on him and see if he fits in? I like it, just change it to a single 4th ? if not thats cool too, try him out this next season and see what he does. \
Its tiring everyone just says pass, but doesnt even think about it

How I see it with slow start
so im going to try and do my usual, instead of "wings pass" ill explain my actual thoughts instead of just crapping on everything you did here,
I do agree, the sharks trade with kane is really lop sided in the sharks favor, i do think Preds would want kane, but giving up that is too much, re work it and im sure there might be a fit here.
The wings trade is a little strange, neither guy has really played any time in the NHL have they? I dont know too much about them, but i actually think the wings might have interest in a couple high producing swedes, but considering ones 27 and again neither have proven anything in the NHL i doubt a 2nd+4th works, maybe a single 3rd? Yzerman hasnt really shed any higher picks for prospects, but again maybe theres a deal here just doubtful a 2nd is inc,
lastly the PK subban trade is i think a good idea even tho i doubt the sharks would want to part with karlsson and admit his contract is too high, PK hasnt worked out many places since leaving Montreal, but he is much better than people give him credit for, and Karlsson is obviously amazing, but his contract doesnt exactly fit what he produces IMO (i think 11 is crazy high) but so is subban even at 9?.. so maybe there is a deal there? but i dont think it would be a 1st from NJ only because they may draft pretty high again this next year,
this is a tough one to make work and have people not trash it (which is always every single trade) but i think san jose needs to change things up and NJ would be very willing to move PK for Karlsson

Throw the grenade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caerii</b></div><div>I have no issue with Wings fans not wanting to give up their 2nd for him. The issue is when your reasons are things like "it's taken 5 years for him to make the NHL and his ceiling is as a 3rd liner, so because he weas a 2nd round pick, he's only worth a 3rd". That's nonsensical, it's not rooted in reality.
Look at players like Anthony Mantha and Tyler Bertuzzi who didn't make it into the NHL full time until 4-5 years after their draft, and they went on to improve on their rookie seasons. Another past Red Wings pick, Tomas Tatar, took 5 years to become a full time NHLer, and he's having some of his best seasons in his late 20s. it's absolutely ridiculous to cap Greenway as a third liner at this point.
Again, saying YOU wouldn't give up more than a 3rd for him is entirely fair, but your justification is scuffed, and the fact that you're basing it off of a very minimal amount of time spent watching him makes it even worse. I'll be honest, I watched exactly 2 Red Wings games last season. I find it hard to believe you watched any more Wild games than that.</div></div>
First off i said typically, it isnt impossible for a second round pick to take that long and be a top 6 guy, theres obviously hall off famers selected super late, anything is possible,
Second off, Holland was notorious for keeping guys buried for FAR too long, so Mantha and the other guys you referred to likely would have made into the NHL far faster had they not been drafted by Detroit
Lastly, Mantha specifically even when he did get to the Bigs, he wasnt so hot and there were MANY rumors he would / should be traded for 2nd / 3rd round or other B level prospects, obviously im happy to not have done that but his value AT THAT TIME, was exactly that.. what he was doing, so why would a team give up a 1st round pick for a guy that was drafted 5-6 years ago and hasnt proven he can compete for a top 6 role rather than just taking another chance on a guy they want in their own draft choice?
so im referring to Greenway based on where he is today, not next year, not 3 years from now,
could he eventually turn into a top 6? Maybe, i dont personally think so.. but the Wild are welcome to hang on to him and see where he pans out, again they could likely see him snagged by Seattle, he could continue to be exactly what weve seen, which IN MY OPINION is a 3rd line power forward, which to some teams would be worth a 2nd rounder, for the wings, a 3rd, and some of that is based on where we draft
and for the record, i probably watched 6-8 Wild games last year, which isnt a lot, but im certain i cant be the only person who doesnt see an allstar in the making.

I guess i ask, do you consider Nylander a core guy? Because if so, then yeah youll need to trade a core guy, IMO Rielly is a core guy, not nylander, and 4 guys taking up 50% of the cap likely isnt going to work. 5 guys after you add Rielly i would think makes it impossible.

lol hey man, im trying to be positive and explain wings fans thoughts, we are going to draft high, so would another team trade a late 1st round for him? Likely . No. So call it what you want, but a wings 3rd round is what we would give up, doesnt mean you have to do it

Throw the grenade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caerii</b></div><div>How many games have you watched him play? What have you seen from him that makes you think he won't be a consistent top 6 player?</div></div>
I mean probably not as much as a hard core Wild fan, but id say enough to argue I would give a 3rd, not a 2nd, and ill explain why. The guys big and actually has a good shot, pretty quick release
But typically a 2nd rounder who has high top 6 potential doesnt take 6 years to get into the NHL, although he has a little speed he isnt super agile and its kinda noticeable when he isnt in the play, hes been up and down the Wild line up, alot of the time playing 4th line and like 10 min a night with the Wild.. Hes not super defensive but he can throw a good hit. I remember there being rumors he didnt have the best attitude either.
Im saying again, another team might be willing to give a 2nd, maybe. However he also could be a loss for 0 if Seattle takes him which is possible.
I would call him a good bottom 6 forward that <em>COULD</em> fill top 6 roll from time to time but isnt going to hang with Mantha / Larkin <em>Hopefully Raymond</em>. He would be a good Abdelkader replacement since he fell off.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>This is exactly the sort of thing that I find so hilarious. Everyone with even a mild bias against the Leafs on here will say, Rielly is just good offensively but a trainwreck defensively and then say all the guys who listed are better than him....right up until it's time for Rielly to get a contract and then he's going to be the most valuable defenceman in the world. Why? So they can justify him deserving a ridiculous amount of money.</div></div>
No dude Rielly is legit great and thats the issue, a great D man is super hard to find and i just dont see him signing for anything less than 8
