Detroit gladly accepts.

4th is overkill, 2nd is good enough for Detroit

Yes. A 2nd rounder is good. I'd like to see Bobby have a legit chance at winning a Cup. Boston would be a good fit for him.

Wings accept

I agree, however with such a reasonable cap hit, I can’t see why other teams like CAR, MTL, or STL would pass up the opportunity to add a player with such a low cap hit who can be a decent depth piece. BOS will most likely have to overpay for any deal they make given the landscape of the league.

No thanks. Ryan is just another middle-six guy.

I agree, they need more, but I just don’t see them making a huge splash, they say the same thing year and this is the kind of deal I think they will look at.

Ryan doesn't really change much.

I think it could be different this year. They know it's probably the last chance for the core (63/37/46/40) to win the Cup so they could make a big move (hopefully it's a good one). I would go all in but I'm not GM.

You would think that, but the core has been aging for years and other than 2019 they haven’t made it out of the second round. They know the core is getting older and the farm system is one of the worst in the league, but they don’t want to go all in and do it. It’s the same excuse every year; we don’t want to give up licks, gotta keep all the Bjroks and Debrusks and hope they pan out until they have no value like Caron. They need to draft better, develop better, and not have a situation where they have to overpay to try to make a run and have it blow in their faces because Bergeron and Krejci are one big hit away from being out long term and only the first line can score.

Not so fast Pizza Man, not so fast.
