Why would the Red Wings engage in this trade?They gain nothing but wasting cap space.
Stecher has some value but not enough to offset the fact that a 7th round pick is all that the wings could hope for if they flipped him, so no gain. It would be like trading a 7th this year for a 7th next year. He isnt better then the options the wings have at hand on the right side, and the wings dont want to play guys on their off side. Hronek, Lindström and hell even Bowey (year younger same production) and better options. Not to mention Seider waiting in the wings.
Baertschi is a dump pure and simple, no value. And the wings have a lot of younger cheaper players that they need to see what they have in on the wing. Guys like Svechnikov, Smith, Bromé, Timashov, and if they bring him over Berggren. Wings are better off with Perlini and or Hirose then Baertschi.
So unless the wings are gain a true long term asset out of this deal they have no reason to help out Van of their cap problems. Yes this deal works out great for Van but does absolutely nothing for Det.
