Some creative ideas for DET

Wait for Edvinsson, maybe sign one but not both

Why would Detroit retain $1,250,000 on Pius Suter? When Sean Monahan makes $3,000,000 more then Suter, The picks would be going the other way then. Detroit's not retaining while taking on a more expensive contract doesn't work that way.

Flames would take that even without Detroit retaining

Is this the same Sean Monahan who's bein outscored by Pius Suter? Oh and Suter's 2 years younger on a much better contract? Picks are going the wrong way my friend...

You do realize there is more to value than just the current season. Yeah Monahan has struggled last couple yrs and is 2 yrs older but hes also got 550 more games played, 180 more goals, and 400 more pts. All of those numbers Suter wont reach over the entirety of his nhl career and it is just half way through Monahans if hes able to keep playing til a normal retirement age and injuries dont cut his career short. Every team in the league could have gotten Suter and he ended up going to Detroit which shows there wasnt much interest especially at his price. I dont think its a good trade either way but u are definitely wrong thinking picks should go the other way.
