Very Extremely Favorable Detroit Deadline

Can Lindstrom play in the NHL?

Wouldn't trade Coronato for Bert straight up

The Toronto trade is dangerously close, though I'm sure Toronto fans will be asking to add Larkin. In reality, Toronto is getting a great puck moving defenseman who can kill penalties in a pinch and is still young. Detroit gets a late lottery ticket and a prospect that may or may not end up better than Hronek. Toronto gets the better deal now and the next year too.

The Flames deal...I don't know. They are getting rentals. Walman, I love with Seider, and think I'd like him back but not sure the cost or term. I think maybe the first would have to be conditional on Bertuzzi or team success. Coronato is a pretty high prospect last I checked, but Calgary would be getting a top 6 winger that has been missing since Tkachuk left, and also a solid top 4 D.

The Ottawa trade doesn't work for either side. The Florida trade is atrocious in Detroit's favor, and the Dallas trade seems about right.

Except TO doesn't need Hronek at all. Whether it's fair or not is irrelevant.

Yeah, why wouldn’t he? Are you asking if he is good enough to play in the NHL? He is an average young bottom pair defenseman with a 2% chance of being better than that.



I’m sure CGY wouldn’t either. Coronato is going to be a good one.
