doubt DET does this but i would be on board, Farrell is still super intriguing to me tho

Det doesn't need a fourth line forward or a LHD or a winger prospect.
You literally had Detroit trade its good 3C that can play wing for a worse one. Detroit has Chiarot, Maatta, Hagg, Walman plus capable prospects for LHD.
Farrell really isn't a need.
Would rather Soderblom over that whole package.

Montreal doesn't need to get bigger and I don't think Detroit needs to make this deal

Detroit has zero interest as this is the opposite of what Detroit needs.

I like this. Doubt Montreal wants to get rid of Edmundson but apart from that, I can see it happening.

This is pretty terrible for Detroit imo

Detroit gives up Rasmussen and Söderblom for a 29yr old Edmundson and you think thats fair?

Sean Farrel Lead Team USA in the Olympics with only 1 point seperating him from Slafkovsky in 3 less games .
Our Skills Coach Nicholas spoke more highly of him as a Prospect then any other player in our system talking about his hockey IQ and Compete level calling him "The Silent Assassin "

"Sean Farrell to me is a very heady player. He is phenomenal. He knows how to read the ice. He's playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers. For me, this guy is going to be very, very special. He thinks the game and he has elite tools, like his shot actually is very underrated. He can wire the thing. And he's an elite passer," praised Nicholas, during a Twitch Q&A in May.

I know everyone did this with Caufield too
He wasnt even worth the pick we spent on him despite leading Team USA just the same as Farrel did , just never against Men.
My Point is people on this site see height and if you're under 5'10 or over 6'4 your value is automatically diminished based on your size .
Why? Statistically their brains say "people bigger or smaller then that range arent represented in the NHL" which is mostly true in the 1970s but not since.
Each season more and more bigger and smaller players since the 1970s continue to increase over time as the game adjusts and becomes Deeper requiring a true 21 man roster for a cup 2010-now

I'd Counter with a deal for Zadina using Evans who Cap and Term fit with DET needs just as they have to pay out to many players including 2/4 Centers.
Zadina and a 4th for Evans and a 3rd would be my offer as you can always flip Evans to a contender at a later date and get atleast a 1st without RS at any TDL.
Centers no matter how old or beat up at worst walk away with a 2nd round pick and 1-2 prospects but either way on the high or low end Evans if DET wants to move on can yield a profit.

If Evans has value why doesnt MTL sell him at the TDL? We will
I just suggest using him to get Zadina for Selfish Reasons
Czech may not be Slovak's native tongue Verbally but their Writing are both the same.
Kinda a more complicated version of what Quebec French and Acadian French have going on
One's Formal and the other is an Informal version of often mixed with other language's.
While Formal French see's offense in the context of certain words like "They"
With Acadian "They " mean "They" with no Snobbish undertone of Formal or Informal or any other varying degree of complex situations that change a words context.

I explain all this because i know this site and the Ignorant reign Supreme.
They assume these language's are as far apart as Cyrillic and English or French and Spanish.
Reality is well im sure their conversations wont be proper enough for TV Interviews without constant correction.
Its plenty fine to communicate with a linemate in a language not spoken by 97% of the league.

I'm a big fan of the idea of Slafkovsky-Zadina with Mesar long term
I think in time it will give us a true top 6 line to compete with Caufield-Suzuki-Dach.


That leaves us Farrel-Beck-Anderson on 3rd line
with Pezetta- Mysak-Gally
Bottom 6 is about Bulk Shots with Netfront guys paying the price.
Top 6 is all about Skilled Guys, Quick OZ Entry and Sniper's in every regard in all 6/6 positions
Sure half them are Primary Playmakers but all them are known for scoring Goals just as much
