The Vegas trade is absolutely horrible for Detroit. Detroit is trading Green retaining 50% of his salary, taking a cap dump so Vegas has room for Green and a 5th round pick all for a 2nd round pick from a playoff team. There is no reason for Detroit to take this trade.
I don't see Detroit trading Howard he's 35 and doesn't want to leave Detroit. I think the Wings respect that. They haven't bought out or buried Ericsson yet. Plus with Howard playing another year or 2 it gives their goalie prospects more time to develop.
JJ to Detroit won't happen. They really can't afford to take on extra cap. They have 14 RFAs and 8 UFAs with contracts expiring at the end of the season. Plus they didn't sign
Nemeth to trade him away.
Your prediction of Detroit taking Askarov is interesting and depending on where the Wings land in the draft lottery that is a possibility.
