Always like reading these posts and seeing people list out everything bad about a trade without acknowledging the good.
The Detroit trade needs to be AA not Mantha, they still have high hopes for him and Larkin together. But it does give them a shot at getting to unite the Russian brothers if Carolina goes with Zadina.
The Buffalo trade is actually one of the fairest Iv seen on here. I don’t think Schlemko would be a part of it though, more likely a Josh Brooks or maybe even a young goalie prospect since MTL has a couple and Buffalo isn’t that deep in their talent pool there. I would also replace Lehkonen for Byron, Buffalo has an absolutely horrible defensive capability from their forwards, ROR was really the only player that knew what he was doing his own zone, Byron helps them on the penalty kill and defensive zone situations.
I don’t like the Minnesota trade for Minnesota for the sole reason that their left wing would be an aging one that with a Pacioretty extension would be expensive. Minnesota may not have the cap space to hold onto Coyle in the future but that’s something they can fix before it happens.
