Wings pass, as they are in NO POSITION to sell low at this point. They have RFA rights to AA. Just not throwing players away because of bad season, probably hoping for a turnaround in 2nd half or next year. If not he walks and nothing lost, nothing gained.

Not too familiar with the Wings defense, are you guys relatively set on defense?

No, but we are transitioning to younger defensemen. At seasons end we will get rid of Trevor Daley, Jonathan Ericsson and Mike Green. Stevie might bring back Green on 1 year deal to mentor kids like Cholowski, Sieder and McIssac. Hronek and Dekeyser will be staple of the group.

Are the Wings set on defense they have some good prospects and moving 4 players that are 30+ is going to make a big difference. Set on D no but getting there but our D is no where near trading AA for McCabe and a 4th. As mikearky pointed out AA is still an RFA and Detroit does have cap space. That low of an offer it would be dumb to trade him let see how he does next season when the whole team is playing better. Yes his goals are down but 4 points off last years pace and the only player putting up better numbers than last season is Bertuzzi.

What if the pick was 2021 2nd? would that make it closer to fair value?
