If it were up to me I couldn't say yes fast enough from a Detroit perspective. I'd try to get Miller or Hakanpaa in place of Suter though. With Hronek gone Detroit could use a right d.

Suter is just a salary swap.

I was already being way greedy so I didn't think I could be even more greedier than way too greedy...

PS:

I view Dallandrea as a 3rd line center... a good one at that... but not a 2C. But, also RH'ed so Detroit could use that as well.

The Suter/ Chiarot swap is to add a heavy dose of playoff toughness for Dallas. I don't think they let go of any (relatively) younger D like Miller or Hakanpaa in a trade... they're hunting playoff wins. And Suter/ Chiarot is lefty/ lefty so they keep their balance. And we give them a 2nd because Dallandrea makes this lop-sided, even as a 3C.

The biggest hurdle, again, is Chiarot's contract... will Dallas, or anyone, be willing to take that on?

I think no... but I will keep trying...
