Draft day trade if Michkov drops to 5
To take on 4 years of Ristolainen, a team would want a 1st round pick or similar back. Wallinder was drafted 32nd overall, and has so far outperformed that draft slot. . The Wings 2023 2nd round pick will be around 40th overall. You're basically giving up 5 1st round or similar assets to move up to 5th overall for a huge gamble on an undersized Russian winger. No matter how you slice it, this would be a horrible trade for Detroit.
The WIngs are at the point in the rebuild where they need quality over quantity, but this ain't it imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DeadWingsv2</b></div><div>Magic beans trade for sure. Michkov looks special, no doubt, but so did Lafreniere...</div></div>
These players are also wingers. You don't use that sort of draft capital / assets / cap space to move up in the draft for a winger. I'm not saying the Wings couldn't use an elite winger, but it should be far from the team's biggest priority. This team needs centers and right-defensemen, and it's *possible*, they could walk away with Nate Danielson and David Reinbacher with those 2 1st round picks. That fills a much bigger hole imo, and also leaves us with the high end prospect, Wallinder and without the boat anchor, Ristolainen, not to mention the other 2 picks...

Holy Massive overpayment...
Wallinder should be a legit top 4 defenseman in the next couple years. It's possible you could get a player as good as Michkov with one of your 2 1st's, or both combined could equal what Michkov would contribute. There are very few can't miss prospects in any draft, and Michkov isn't one of those. Even if he's as good as everyone thinks he is, there's no guarantee he comes over to North America. Then you add in a terrible cap dump in Ristolainen? Hooooorrible trade for Detroit.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DeadWingsv2</b></div><div>Suter is not a dogsh*t player, at all. Depth centers have REAL value.
Bertuzzi's injuries this season have been fluke hand injuries, those will not diminish his value at all. They are not knee, shoulder, etc injuries - the back injury is a distant memory after no issues since the surgery and a career year last season.
Lindstrom is a young RHD, who is an RFA with team control, that fits PERFECT on the 3rd pair. He is what he is. Walman, will be a UFA and keeps running up his value more and more every day. With Chairot signed for 3 more years and Edvinsson, Wallinder kicking the door in and Johansson AND Buium knocking very loudly for LHD spots on this roster, we can't keep everyone. Walman probably has the best chance at a decent return.</div></div>
Disagree on Suter. He's a bottom six forward, on a bottom quarter team, making $3.25M, on pace for 24 points. Maybe Yzerman gets a 5th if he's lucky.
No argument on the severity of Bertuzzi's injuries, but regardless, he has been injury prone.
He's going to need to get back in the lineup tomorrow and stay healthy the next 23 games to get his value back up to where it was / should be.
Edvinsson is a lock. Of Wallinder, Johansson, Buium, *maybe* one of them make it, but there's still a long way to go for all three.
I'd be open to trading Walman, much like most players on this team. I just found it funny you're so against trading Lindstrom.

- Leafs fans are delusional. Using their values as a basis is like using the opinion of a flat-earther's view on land curvature. Bert will return at LEAST 1 A+/A level asset and at least one additional A/A- level asset as a rental. If an extension is part of the deal, even more. Kerfoot is a cap dump, Liljegren would be buried on the depth chart behind Seider and Hronek and makes ZERO sense here (nor do I think Toronto would be willing to move him, so the fit makes even less sense) and a 3rd is an average asset at best. Toronto is HIGHLY unlikely to be a trade partner for Bertuzzi, as they are unlikely to pay what he would cost.
- Might as well just keep Suter down the stretch, rather than get a garbage 6th.
- There is zero incentive to trade Lindstrom, so adding him to that trade makes no sense. I actually don't have an issue with a 4th for Sunny straight up, but wouldn't be surprised if he returned a 3rd alone.
- Edmonton deal never even happens. Value on that one is actually fine, but basis is flawed.
- Vrana deal makes zero sense, both ways. Detroit is selling low and he's not a fit in Minnesota, especially with retaining for a season+. The gamble of holding onto him with hopes that his stock goes up is the right course of action. It's a gamble worth taking.
They should be looking to move Erne for a late pick and possibly Walman for a mid pick if they can't work out an extension.
Your proposed trades are just bad asset management.</div></div>
If you're a seller you should sell, even if it's for "dog sh*t picks. Get what you can for the dog sh*t players while you can.
I hope you're right on Bertuzzi, but I don't see Yzerman getting full value because of all of the injuries.
I tend to agree on Vrana. However, if he goes back up to Detroit, and goes on another heater, there will be teams calling, and Yzerman will definitely be listening.
You see ZERO incentive to trade Lindstrom, who is regularly a healthy scratch, but want to trade Walman, who has been one of our better left-handed defensemen, and currently on the top pair with Seider?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IDKtbh</b></div><div>Bertuzzi should net us at least a 1st round pick.
Sunny & Maatta should net at least a 2nd round pick each.
You have us getting a 4th round pick for Sunny and threw in Lindstrom for the hell of it. That’s probably the worst trade you have on here. I wouldn’t even trade Lindstrom alone for a 4th, let alone what you’ve got here.
If we move Maatta it’ll be at least for a 2nd which you have here but it will certainly be a 2023 pick, not 2024.
Suter is not worth much but he’s definitely worth more than a 6th.
Minnesota is not giving up a 1st round pick for Vrana; nobody is. He may very well be traded at some point but it likely won’t be this year and it won’t be for that if it is. Also, Minnesota would like to add a Center, not a Winger.</div></div>
Liljegren is worth *more than* a late 1st round pick, so yes, you're right *at least* a 1st round pick.
You're massively overvaluing Sundqvist. No team is paying a 2nd round pick for Sunny. A 4th may be generous.
Suter with salary retained may be worth more than a 6th, but at $3.25M, we'd be lucky to get that.

So, you want good returns for bad players, but don't want to trade one of the few valuable trade chips. Got it.
Bertuzzi is the only other player that could be traded for a good return, and Leafs fans seem to think he's not even worth a middle pair defenseman.
If you're expecting to get anything more than a mid-late round pick for Suter, Sundqvist, Erne, etc. you're going to be sorely disappointed come trade deadline.

2. Perhaps..... but I feel that risk is one Anaheim or Arizona could afford to make with all that cap space they have. Why did Stevey waive him and not assigned him for a conditioning stint?
Vrana can play, I don't dispute that. I am more thinking there is a whole lot more to this story than we know. You tell me why they passed in Vrana for nothing?
4. As it sits right now, I see it set. Your current #7 D is Foote. #8 is Fleury.
Out of Sergachev, Cole and Hedman, Cernak, Perbix and Bogosian, who does he upgrade so much to move a 2nd?
Barking up the wrong tree in Tampa bud.</div></div>
2. There was, and still is too much risk / uncertainty attached to Vrana. That likely won't be the case by March. There were only a handful of teams that could fit Vrana under the cap, and some of those teams have an internal cap. Yes, there is a lot more to this story than we know, but I think some (not all) of it will come to light in the coming weeks/months.
4. The only defensemen Maatta would definitively be behind on the Lightning depth chart are Hedman and Sergachev. The rest he's on par with or better than. Even if you think Maatta would be the team's 6th or 7th best defenseman (you'd be wrong), that's still worth a 2nd round pick to a team that's looking to go on another deep playoff run. Team's need depth for inevitable injuries.

2. If Arizona passed on Vrana on waivers, why do you think Minny will flip picks for the guy? Even with retention. 31 teams passed on him...... and Arizona, Anaheim or Chicago could have grabbed him for free with the same idea......
3. The Suter deal is interesting...... but I would think the Flames would be looking for more offensive impact. That being said, 100% fits their system.
4. The Bolts blueline is very set. They would be looking for a top 9 winger before blueline help.</div></div>
1. Liljegren probably isn't being moved, but don't act as if he's some untouchable piece. He's not.
2. Vrana was waived last week. This is a trade that could potentially happen in 7 weeks. Lots of time to regain that trade value. If Vrana steps back into the Red Wings lineup at some point and continues to produce near a point per game, a team most definitely will give up assets for him at the trade deadline, especially at a significantly reduced cap hit.
4. Tampa's blueline is far from "very set". They will definitely add a defenseman at the deadline, and Maatta would be a great fit.

Also I wouldn't say any team is ever set at any position but right now we have Hronek 24, Lindstrom 23 and Seider 20 as NHL right side defensemen. Then we have Barton 22 and Tuomisto 21 looking like they could transition soon to the NHL, so it's not really a position of need right now.

Sure. Yzerman *might* be able to draft an equivalent player with the 2nd round pick, but *likely* not.
At some point we need to start acquiring players that can help the team now, not in 4-5 years from now. Liljegren would provide some friendly competition for Lindstrom, and if he continues to develop and comes close to his ceiling, he could challenge Hronek for some minutes in a year or two.
Barton and Tuomisto aren't NHL quality prospects. They're likely AHL depth at best. Neither would crack our top 20 prospects right now.
I agree that we need to address the center position, but that doesn't mean you turn down trades to bolster other positions when they come along.

Don't kid yourself. Detroit are not set at any position, including right defense.
If Yzerman can get a highly skilled young RD like Liljegren for a 2nd round pick and a broken down 30 year old defenseman on an expiring contract, he'll do it.

2. Leddy is having a terrible year and the Oilers have Nurse and Keith holding down the top-4 LHD spots.
A quick look at <a href="http://naturalstattrick.com/playerteams.php?fromseason=20212022&thruseason=20212022&stype=2&sit=5v5&score=all&stdoi=oi&rate=r&team=DET&pos=D&loc=B&toi=250&gpfilt=none&fd=&td=&tgp=410&lines=single&draftteam=ALL" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">NST</a> shows us that Leddy is the worse Detroit defenseman for GF% rel at -12.72. Who would he replace in Edmonton, Duncan Keith? He's the Oilers best regular defenseman by the same metric, at <a href="http://naturalstattrick.com/playerteams.php?fromseason=20212022&thruseason=20212022&stype=2&sit=5v5&score=all&stdoi=oi&rate=r&team=EDM&pos=D&loc=B&toi=250&gpfilt=none&fd=&td=&tgp=410&lines=single&draftteam=ALL" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">+4.59.</a>
Leddy is getting owned, even in relation to his teammates. And Keith has harder zone starts, fewer OTF starts and plays tougher comp than Leddy. Not a chance in 100 Leddy plays ahead of Keith.
Keith has played 33.7% of his TOI vs Elites (2nd most among Oilers defensemen).
Leddy has played 26.7% of his TOI vs Elites (4th most among Red Wings defensemen).</div></div>
I dont have the numbers in front of me, but I'd be willing to bet those numbers looked very different last season (Keith in Chicago & Leddy in New York). You think Keith all of a sudden found his game at the tender age of 38, and Leddy all of a sudden lost his game at the age of 30? Or do you think maybe it has a lot more to do with the teams they've been traded to? Imagine how awful Keith would be in Detroit this season..... LOL

Oilers get a similar caliber G (much cheaper), get an upgrade at D (only spending an extra $50K total). They also get a solid D prospect in return for a high end C prospect. With two top players in the world, the Oilers should be all in every year season. Holloway should be expendable.

We can look at Ottawa’s cap dump deals which involved a significantly lower cash vs AAV. We can also look to deals like ROR which were put through before his significant signing bonus was due. AAV determines who can take on a player without having to move another or possibly causing implications with future RFA/UFAs. We’ve recently seen teams like Detroit buy out contracts like Abdelkader which they didn’t need the cap but ultimately saved them in cash and that’s a team that profits a decent amount (~32M) even as a rebuilder. Teams like Detroit/NJ that are going to have massive amounts of cap space this offseason aren’t asking how much cap will be eaten by a deal but rather how long and how much real cash to buy X asset(s).</div></div>
You're comparing the Detroit Red Wings (Chris Ilitch), a team (owner) more than willing to spend money to improve the team, to the Ottawa Senators (Eugene Melnyk), a team (owner) that trades away good players when they're up for a big raise to save money. I'm not sure what bonuses and buy-outs have to do with anything here... The specific examples you're bringing up have nothing to do with this particular trade scenario.
The Red Wings have the cap space to acquire cap dumps, but they're not going to take on significant term. Two year's of a player like Jake Gardiner is exactly the type of trade Yzerman should be looking to make. And the proposed trade was about right value wise in my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>Gardiner doesn’t cost less than Staal. Staal was paid 3.2M from Detroit & Gardiner is owed 4.2M & 4.45M. There is also the question of how Gardiner’s back is going to hold up & if his contract is insured. I’d be good with the return personally.</div></div>
I was speaking per season cap dollars, not overall real dollars. After all, that's what generally dictates market value.
But yes, the return would be great for the Red Wings. For anyone that liked the return on the Staal trade, should love the return on this proposed trade.

What's "Yzerman not you"? Did you ask Yzerman? Yzerman would take this deal without thinking twice.
