Consider it done

DET takes it and runs... they could easily flip them for a much better package lol

Yeah how about no...

Yeah knew I was short on that one. Not sure of the value of them together since Klingberg is about to demand high $ and Radulov is just a dump.

How would you fix what we have?
I forgot to add the most important line, the first line. New GM and new coach(es). Would not be upset if Gaglardi had to sell. Him being out of town seems to be an issue.

This isn’t blowing it up. This is a load of yuck with no direction. A third and a fifth for Klinger and Rads????? Delete this lol

Wild say yes.

Zuccarello's all yours!

Enjoy!

This is bad. And you want Ryan Strome? Spoiler alert, he isn’t that good. He is a decent 3c for some teams. I hope everyone knows that Strome got carried by his teammates, especially Panarin.

I think he was the best I could reasonably get for Lindell.

I don’t know about that. I would rather someone like Fiala over Strome. I don’t know if they accept it (probably not) but ya I don’t like Strome one bit.

As a DAL fan my "dream scenario" would be something like this:

First and foremost hire a new coach and preferably a new GM. New owner would be fine as well. Ideally for coach I'd bring Gallant and as for GM I'd maybe take a punt and hire Jere Lehtinen for this role. He's the GM of Finnish National Team and he has done awesome job there. He'd likely have some nice inner knowledge about European talent as well...

I'd build a speedster team with the core with Seguin and Heiskanen as the leaders. Benn contract is an anchor one and it won't be moved (not a problem imo, I dig the guy personally). Trade Radulov, Klingberg and Faksa for future assets (they all can garner pretty nice value). Ideally I'd like to trade Klingberg for a young TOP6 winger with term (Boeser or Nylander would be ideal), Radulov for a solid but relatively cheap RD (Montour would fit quite well for example as BUF needs some depth wingers, but I don't see Radulov waiving his NMC unfortunately), and then Faksa for a 2nd a 3rd rounders. Having some much needed picks is essential because our prospect pool is quite thin.

If money is sufficient, I'd try to sign a star D-man from free agency. Pietrangelo would be ideal, but I wouldn't be too mad about Barrie for example. If this is possible, then I'd consider trading Lindell for a young center such as Max Domi or Dylan Strome. Both CHI and MTL need TOP4 LHDs making them a good targets for a potential Lindell trade.

Just assuming that everything goes as planned, I'd roll the lines as:

Hintz-Seguin-Boeser/Nylander - line costs around $20M
Benn-D.Strome-Gurianov - costs $18M
Robertson-Dickinson-Pavelski - costs $10M
Cogliano-L'Esperance-Comeau - costs $6M

Heiskanen-Pietrangelo/Barrie - costs from $7 to 10M
Harley-Montour - costs $5M
Oleksiak-Johns - costs $5M

Bishop-Khudobin - costs $7M

Allegedly this lineup would cost around $80M bucks, so some altering must be done to fit the healthy scratches, but I do believe this is possible to some extent.

Sorry, I forgot to add that I’m against trading players within conference. So I eliminated half the league for everyone but Cogliano and Comeau. Don’t care where they go.

What's the asking price for Benn?

Yes no take backs. Never going to happen but thinking about it has put a smile on my face.



As a Detroit fan I wouldn't say no to this but Klingberg is plays RD. Klingberg is still a very good defenseman and at 27 he still has a lot of good years left. With Hronek and Seider I don't see them spending a lot to acquire a player they don't really need. I know Toronto is thin at RD not sure how much they would be willing to spend.

what the actual **** is that Detroit trade

A very poor evaluation of talent is what that trade is

Wild definitely decline lindell for Fiala.

Yup. That was just an example of a player that I thought of straight away. I was just saying that you can get more for Lindell instead of getting Strome.
