Wings fans are gonna come at your neck for this one

Caufield for Copp and Lindstrom.

buttbry gonna come and comment something like "you forgot suzuki and caufield and guhle and 3 firsts and half of quebecs gdp"

I am going to come for your neck because of this.

Realistically, no. A "big piece" (Logan Mailloux) has a character that Yzerman likely doesn't even touch. Josh Anderson is servicable, but doesn't really move the needle for me.
As "meh" as Raymond has been, this just fills a smaller hole (2RD) by digging us a bigger one (We need top-line wingers).

I don't know if we'd accept if you offered MTL's pick instead of FLA's.

Montreal adds their first pick it a top 3 only for this to work

If it was a top 3 we would

We would. But, right now, it's going to be 5 or 6 overall unless they get some lotto luck. And, if they do get that lottery draw, they're not giving us a top 2 pick for Lucas Raymond.

100% agree with all of this, I just was saying top 3 wings would do it

No need to come for my neck, i already know this isnt a fair proposal. Raymond might of been ''meh'' this season but he turned 21 years old 2 weeks ago. He's still a pup. Only reason he is considered ''meh'' is because of his previous season, which was exceptionnal for a guy at his age.

Yeah. Forsure. He had a new coach, new linemates, and overall just a prime candidate for an inconsistent season.
He'll be fine.

Raymond's 21 years old and his "sophomore slump" season still had him scoring at a 50 point pace.

As I said in your other thread, too - Detroit might just not be the best target for this kind of trade because they already are lined up to have their own top-10 pick and the Islanders' first rounder, which should be in the late teens. Adding another pick in that 17-20 range just doesn't move the needle - it's not like they'll be able to package those together and get into the top 4, and seeing as the talent level outside those names is pretty evenly spaced out, I think they'll be happy with what they get with their 2 first rounders. Don't see a reason for them to be giving away young, NHL-proven talent to add another 1st.
