I did something similar and got isht on about 3 days ago

Loui is more like a 1st, because he has 2 years left to Staal with 1.

Same for Boychuk

Just a 2nd for ericsson???? This isn't vancouver propaganda is it? We just got a 2nd for 1 year of staal so more for Johnny and Ericsson.

We need more to take on Boychuk, and honestly I would rather not make that trade at all. You can make an argument that our RD is one actual "strength", with Hronek back there, Seider coming up, Lindstrom looks solid, Tuomisto over there soon, among others. Boychuk would just be clogging up space. There's other deals around the league that would be better than this one for us. And even if this deal does get done, we get a 1st. Only reason we got a 2nd tonight is because Staal only has one year left. Same thing with Eriksson. Mid-grade prospect and 1st get that one done.

Haha. Saw the Eriksson plus a 2nd and thought: this can’t be made by a wings fan. Turns out it’s just a very hopeful Canucks fan trying to sneak this in there. Well you got caught.

Not enough incentive to take on Eriksson or Boychuk. If we got a 2nd for 1 year of Staal, we should get at least a 1st for each of them

No thanks on the Boychuk or Eriksson deal without a 1st coming back, And after acquiring Marc Staal. I'd be shocked if we go after Torey Krug right now.

Loui has a NTC. Not going to waive it for Detroit.

Staal was 1 year, these guys are 2 years, it would cost a first and a player or a first and a 2nd at this point

I think we can stop trading Loui it sounds like he is going back to play in Sweden

Staal had a NMC and he did... what's your point again?

I don't think Staal plays again.

that's an opinion, could also be that Yzerman is choosing to use his cap room in order to speed along the rebuild.

to each their own.

Staal was a player of need as he can eat minutes for one year. Ericksson can not play or can not play well, he is making more and and has two years compared to one year for Staal. Sorry Ericksson is not. A player of need as we already have Abdelkader to sit in the Press Box. Ericksson is a different situation and would take more.

Staal can still play, Ericksson or Boyuchuk can not
