This looks like an NHL 17 GM Mode post

detroit trade is awful.
cgy wont do the nyi trade

Why do CGY fans keep plopping Czarnik into trades as if he weren’t a fringe fourth liner in the NHL.

Because he's not. He has the potential to be good bottom 6 forward if he can stay healthy...

A 27 years old guy who never broke the 20 point mark have the potential to be a middle 6 winger. Are you serious. Im sure that calgary inquires about mantha and yzerman is asking yeah for mantha we want czarnik he got some good potential ??? .

Right, because who needs depth anyways. I guess when your enjoying the basement, you're not really worried about depth yet are you?

Why is everyone so stuck on Czarnik here, you do see the 1st rounder and Bennett in this trade, no? If this is so incredibly horrible then why don't you respectfully suggest an alternative instead of pretending you are an actual GM, or so deeply knowledgable that you focus on the minor part of the deal, a throw in if you will. Mantha is a UFA after this year, and is going to get a raise, getting Bennett and 1st does not seem that far fetched for a potential rental that may go elsewhere at seasons end. Take it easy, have a drink or something and re-evaluate how important you really are.

Being a basement team after 30 years of success is not that bad. And yzerman isn’t going to trade mantha for a bennett a mid first round and a fourth liner. Having depth ? calgary barely can score goal i imagine that depth isnt a concept that you’re familiar with

Detroit says absolutely not. Better start with Monahan or gaudreau if you want mantha

Mantha is far and away Detroit's most talented player and at 25yrs old a 30yr old Bennett and most likely a player projected to go in the last 5 or 6 spots of the 1st round don't equal Mantha. Mantha is an RFA at the end of this year because he is 25 and in his 4th season. Detroit will have plenty to resign him with because not resigning Green, Daley and Ericsson frees up about $12.8M.
