Tavares is not a guy the Red Wings should be after.

a trade like this is possible, but it would likely be for futures if anything, and wouldn’t be til next summer when he’s only owed about 6 mil over 2 seasons, that’s of course contingent on him waving which he likely doesn’t

With no NMC THAT AAV IS 12-13. Clubs don't give up control freely it costs a player in either term or AAV to get a NMC being Tavares signed max term it was AAV.

Red Wings want nothing to do with that Tavares contract.

Red Wings want nothing to do with that contract

I know its Hypothetical but here are a couple of reasons why this won't happen.

Dubas isn't going to trade Tavares.in division.

Tavares an NMC.

Toronto is 100% win now so futures don't really help.

Detroit currently ins't playoff team so it is very unlikely they trade futures for a 32 year old center.

Tavares's $11M cap hit doesn't make it easy to resign Larkin, Bertuzzi, Vrana and Ned this year. Then next year they have Hronek, Raymond and Seider.

No chance JT waives to play for the tire fire aka Winghers
