Thread: TDL Deal w Caps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Because Detroit has no use for more wingers, Detroit like Winnipeg has far too many wingers. Like Winnipeg needs a #2C Detroit needs D prospects. Only going by what the Detroit media is saying Nyquist with retention brings back a 1st rounder period. Detroit has a deal in place with all 3 UFAs Howard, Jensen and Nyquist if we don't get our ask then we just resign all 3 by Sunday. Not saying it's not fair. Only saying that Holland wouldn't accept this he wants to ink all 3 players.</div></div>

Just for long term value for the Wings, I wonder if the Wings still might sign Howard and Nyquist, but still trade them for assets and then sign then as UFAs July 1st. It's not like those two players are going to get 8 years contract which is the only leverage a team has "holding their eight year rights". Jensen I could see been locked up before hitting UFA.
