Defensive overhaul some tweaks and small trades

myers I think is a must for this team. never have they needed to go get a rock on the back end as they do now. I would love to move one of the top 6 forward group for another top 4 dman also. I hate to move mantha or AA but they seem the logical choice. this team has never seem to embrace AA so maybe its sell high on his 30 goal season and use him to get trouba or dumba or weresnki.

Franzen and Zetterberg ARE STAYING IN DETROIT NO REASON TO MOVE THEM!!!!!!

Yes let’s trade a 24yr old with 30g, a 18yr defenseman with a huge up side and most likely a 1st rd pick or 2. SOUNDS GREAT! For a 27 defenseman.
Sorry Trouba is 25 and Werenski will probably take Larkin to pry him free. Dumba is 24.

But Trouba is the only one that MIGHT move because they can't sign him long term or find some to meet their asking price. But it's still going to be player, pick and Prospect. Werenski and Dumba don't have to be moved so it going to cost a lot.

with zadina on the way plus maybe kakko or cozen in this draft adding a top paid defenseman isn't a terrible idea. I have zero faith this team can turn cholo or hronek into a legit top paid defenseman. ive heard it about every young blueliner we've had for 15 years and they haven't done it. li dont want to give quality players away but adding trouba or dumba helps this team a lot. im not giving the whole team and draft for one.

I couldnt agree more, big fan of Myers here
