Bertuzzi won't accept 6 mil AAV. Larkin likely gets at least 9. I don't want to see Zadina here next season. I'd rather re-sign Maatta than Graves. Walman should be re-signed even if he's a 6-7 D. I'd take him over Lindstrom. Fabbri will be in the lineup. He's returning in January. Adam Erne is Steve Yzerman's son so unfortunately he'll be re-signed. Berggren should take Zadina's spot.

I think the Canucks would prefer a 2023 1st but I think they’d accept that

I love Gravy, but please for the sake of a rekindled rivalry, don't make him a 1st pair dman.
Also pass on Suter

I'd give the odds of Yzerman signing Larkin, Horvat and Bertuzzi long term at those prices 0%. I think the only way Yzerman goes after Horvat is if Larkin is dealt elsewhere and by the looks of it Tyler Bertuzzi is 100% gone at the Trade deadline.

Dylan Larkin gets the Mat Barzal deal 8 x $9,150,000
Bo Horvat probably gets 8 x $8,500,000.
Tyler Bertuzzi 6 x $7,000,000.

If Yzerman needing to resign both Raymond and Seider, I seriously doubt he'd give all 3 of Horvat, Bertuzzi and Larkin that much money.

I’d want a package including either a 2023 1st or top prospect as the headliner for Horvat, not a 2024 1st. It’s a solid offer though

Id think if your trading for Horvat and signing him and Larkin you trade Bert for sure at the deadline. Copp takes his spot on the wing.

I wonder if Yzerman could work his magic and somehow convince VAN to part with EP40 instead, it would be an expensive package but could he do it?

EP and Hughes are our only untouchable assets.

It would cost them Seider+ so I doubt that ever happens

You aren’t getting Seider + even if EP was on the market, heck DET isn’t going to do Seider for EP straight up.

Then EP won't be moved. Shouldn't be a hard concept to grasp
