I thought you did a great job of explaining the moves you made and why you made them. I tried to do the same. I don’t think your moves are wrong or bad. I’m just offering a different view. I’m not trying to be mean here if I come off that way I’m sorry in advance.
I don't think Detroit is anywhere near that point in the rebuild. Detroit spent years buying at the deadline trading away prospects and draft picks. At the end of that it was just to make the playoffs and keep the streak alive. We've started to rebuild our prospect pool but I think we need another year or two of lottery picks before we start making a lot of trades to fill in the gaps.
I'm pretty sure that Kronwall retires at the end of the season.
.
Why are we acquiring Bouwmeester? If it’s for cap room ok. He's 35 and probably will be retired by the time we start making the playoffs again and we aren't going to the playoffs this year so no need for a rental. With Allen I think he's over paid, but most people will probably say his salary fair or the right amount. So the only reason I have not wanting him in Detroit is I just don't like him and that doesn't mean squat. Jimmy Howard being traded is very likely. I’m not sure about Helm he is defiantly over paid with modified ntc. If a team takes him I’d be happy to drive him to the airport.
We traded Vanek season before last for a 3rd round pick. If taking Hanzal is the reason why 2rd pick instead if a 3rd
give us the 3rd and keep Hanzel. if it’s because you really need cap space the toss a good prospect or change or another pick.
Not sure if Boston would approve but the first Boston trade looks good to me. it’s very likely that Nyquist is traded.
Trouba will sign a 2 year deal because he wants to be a UFA and choose where he goes. A lot of people on here think it will be Detroit but I have no idea. But 2 years puts us at the end of the rebuild. Detroit isn’t going to trade AA the reason they were upset with him in the past was his lack of defensive play. Now he’s playing very well in the d-zone and still producing offensively.
The islanders aren’t trading Ho-sang for a over paid bottom 6 forward.
I don’t see Boston doing this trade and thats fine because I want nothing to do with Backes he’s too old and expensive for what Detroit is trying to do.
