Thread: Detroit would you do this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>Wings aren't doing it. Cirelli is good but not worth the 9th pick or an unprotected 2022 pick if we fall within the top 8 of 2021.

Also taking on tj alone is going to cost them a first plus a top prospect. This is an easy decline from the wings pov</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>Well, of course Detroit would do that but Tampa would have to consider that pretty carefully. The Wings are taking Johnson so that's good but they're only getting a top-8 protected pick for a legit 2C. I guess it depends on how long this goes on. At this point, I'm thinking JBB is going to wait to see if there even is a season.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redwingsfan04</b></div><div>It’s an interesting idea but I don’t think I’d do it. IMO Johnson would cost a 1st to dump. That turns this trade into 2 1st’s for Cirelli which is too much for us to give up.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jasalex</b></div><div>Is Tyler shot? I am not sure. He is one year off of scoring 29 goals. If he can bounce back Detroit gets a 2C and 3C or RW for one pick. I was disappointed that Tyler did not have a better playoff run.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>If I was Yzerman, my first round pick would be entirely off the table. A lottery protected 2021 1st just turns into a great 2022 pick for TB.</div></div>

I think the biggest problems isn’t if Cirelli is worth a potential 9th OA (he is, especially in 2021) but what the 2022 draft holds as Stinson says. 2022 is shaping up to be a good draft (2021 looks decent) - if you’re gonna protect that pick in 2021 than I’d bet Tampa prays to god that you protect it so they get 2022

Cirelli is definitely great but having a 2022 first from a bad team be traded to tampa smells like a disaster for anyone trying to compete with Tampa
