yeaaaa... Detroit's not doing that

neither will the oilers.

JP is not an Yzerman guy and Foegle is older, where as both Zadina and Rasmussen have ther whole careers before them. Also Wings not taking on cap.

This is how a team says no, wings pass, not close

I'm on here just shooting ****, but I kinda have to ask why Detroit wouldn't be willing to pay a bit extra to receive the more established players.

Puljujarvi is at the very least equal in terms of upside as Zadina. And the way Detroit's roster is set after what they did this summer, it's tough to see a path for Zadina being much more than a third line option for them there long-term.

Yes his whole career is ahead of him, but the roadblocks are right there in Detroit. Good chance that leads to a disgruntled player.

I'm not sure the 2nd does the deed, but that trade definitely makes Detroit a better team. All it does for Edmonton is give them cap flexibility.
