Really good trade targets for BUF I think. I don't think the VAN deal goes through though. And DET deal is interesting and would be a smart move by DET if they think he can play top 6. All in all, it's a good looking team, but the VAN deal is lacking.

Detroit's not giving up a 5th for a guy playing over in the KHL.

Agreed on the VAN deal. The biggest thing the Canucks need is cap flexibility, so using two cheaper roster players to acquire one more expensive one just doesn't make sense for them. Unless that one player is a real game breaker, which Risto is not.

Rust is worth more than that. Buffalo has to add another enticing piece for sure

Wings pass, rather keep the pick then the contract limit player
