Upgrade the wings

If the deal from Detroit doesn’t include Suzuki or KK, why would Detroit do it? Also, nice Rugrats username.

That doen't get us Mantha, I'm afraid... starts with Domi + a 1st and a prospect...

Wings pass, this is wildy insufficient

Maybe I could be convinced into changing the 2nd into a 1st. But as much as I think mantha would fit our needs he isn't worth giving away Suzuki or KK. Also the only way something like this happens is if mantha has no interest in signing long term in Detroit. Which I think is likely as he would be agreeing to spend his prime years at the bottom of the league. He may say all the right things in public but I dont think that many guys want to waste their best years.

Hard to say the motivations of a player. We have a lot of cap so we can pay him and maybe he likes to golf. If he wanted to win though wouldn’t he want to go to a true contender? We also have 2 RFA years on him so maybe he likes the direction of our team with some youngsters getting spots (Zadina, Seider, Rasmussen, Veleno, 2020 4OA) and/or some FA acquisitions or trades. If he doesn’t I’d have no problem flipping him in the last year of that deal and dealing with it then when he’s established what kind of player he is. Suzuki or KK is the only thing on that roster outside Romanov that fills an area of need while being in our window.
