Detroit declines

That's what I thought but a Wings fan earlier only asked for a 4th for Hronek so I figured to just add in a B level prospect

Then he's not a real Red Wings fan.

I like these moves as a more patient offseason. (Cooley > Slaf though)

Detroit is going to want more than that, although I think Clarke is an underrated prospect in our system.

That's fine though, leave a spot on D open for the Utica kids to compete for.

No real Red Wing fan would ask for a 4th for Hornek, He's worth at least a late 1st round pick rather easily. He's pretty close to a 0.5 PPG on an 82 game schedule over his career.

1) We are going to have to pay to dump Bernier, we won't receive anything beneficial back. Cost might not be too high if he is LTIR and insurance picks it up....that screams ARI

2) We would probably have to eat 50% for PIT to walk a 30pt Johnsson for depth.

3) Don't see why DET would do that. They have to get a benefit too in a trade be it by wanting to go younger, need cap room, need the pick

4) Tatar I can see going to ARI, SEA, and maybe ANA if they wanted a bit of offense and thought they could flip him for a profit at the deadline.

5) I don't feel BOS is going to want an underachiever for DeBrusk, If someone wanted Zacha it might be ARI or SEA looking for younger depth with upside he showed last season (when I had been hoping to trade him at the TOP of his value)

Detroit passes, Hronek easily returns a late 1st round pick maybe even an early 20th overall pick from some desperate team.

A 4th doesn't hold much value. Zacha isn't a 2C and can't play RW either so it doesn't help the Bruins. They would just have to flip him again. Try prospects/picks instead.

The Pit trade seems fair.

Unless we're getting a #1 LHD, we shouldn't trade for one. Ww have plenty and can platoon until we get Luke here and figure it out. Now wanna grab Chychrun, sure

Devil's add in ty smith and mercer

what is this trade?

terrible...

I don't understand how some fans just think we're going to give Hronek away.
