I think it will take a little more from Vegas and Calgary to make the wings accept it

The deal construct is right. I think DET would prefer to move Helm before Glendening, though I believe both will be moved by the TDL in 2021. Maybe VGK's prospect value would be a little higher for Glendening than Helm. But overall I think this is one way Stevie will weaponize cap space.

Fair enough. Maybe both teams send another prospect, I made the 2nd from Vegas the NJD pick so it's a bit higher but I see what you're saying.

Yeah I wasn't saying it was crazy far fetched or off, I hope you didn't take it that way, it's pretty reasonable for small pieces added. The nj 2nd is a good start, Calgary maybe takes out janik and adds in dube? Not 100% sure exactly, but I like this deal in theory. Would love to some how get dorofyev

Take out Glendening replace with Erne/Perlini. Keep the NJD 2nd. Wings probably have slim to no interest in 4th liner Jankowski, they have plenty 4th line options. Oliver Kylington is a little more interesting, but ultimately doesn’t really fit bc Wings need a minutes eater at LD right away now for next season. Kylington seemed to digress last season or at the least needs more development time since Flames didn’t seem to trust him yet. And then we have Cholowski, Jared McIsaac, and Albert Johansson... I think Kylington just crowds their progression, so not very interesting piece either. We are better off signing a veteran LD in UFA, someone like Dillon, Gustaffson, Greene to help hold fort down. So I’d ask for CGY’s 2nd and Dubé. If not CGY’s 1st straight up. Maybe the 2nd and a future 2nd.

Honestly I think if the Wings are eating $3Mx2 and moving Glendening, they would want a 1st. So maybe that's Kylington + 1st (CGY) or something to that effect, but I'm not sure Kylington or Jankowski move the needle much for Detroit.

It looks good but with so moving parts.

I understand that Detroit would want more to retain $3M on any player in a 3 way swap but ask yourself - in what reality does Calgary (or any team) trade a first or a promising young player for MAF???

I’m not sure. I didn’t say Calgary should do it. Just saying what I think that amount of money costs in pick/prospect assets. Two 2nds was an option
