The problem is cap. They were on pace to have roughly $3m cap by trade deadline. But since they’ve been using LTIR, they would be lucky to reach $1.5m

So a lot of guys would need double retention and might not be worth it

I think both Folignos, Danforth, Bogosian, Kapanen, Eberle, Duclair, Zucc (would love to see this one), Smith, Lindholm and Stamkos are all options I could 100% see happening.

All of the other guys I don't think get moved at all just due to the fact that their teams are 100% buyers come deadline

Duclair makes most sense…maybe Foligno if they could move out Goodrow

Maybe if cheap Danforth or Duke. Pass on the others, either cause of cap/return/not for sale/not an upgrade. I really like Monahan especially with Chytil uncertainty & Kakko no go. I had Purssyman from NSH high on my list til i watched him last night, price just went down, same with Novak

Leafs aren’t moving domi

Elias Lindholm or Steven Stamkos would be fun. Duclair for Goodrow + 1st could be something of interest.

If they fall out of playoff contention they will.

Which Foligno? I listed both of them. Lol

Yeah but that isn’t happening

Wild already extended Zuccarello and Foligno, so I doubt they're interested in retaining salary for multiple years.

Red Wings are in a playoff spot. Why are they trading Ghost?

Maataa, Holl, Petry, Walman, Chiarot, Seider, Edvinsson, Willander. Also the underlyings behind them don't look great.

He isn’t part of the future. He is the perfect rental when retained. If he really gels all the way to the deadline, sell him for the assets and re-sign in the summer if needed.

Underlyings? Who cares? They're in a playoff spot right now. Just because the Devils are underachieving doesn't mean you have to crap on the Red Wings.

Wallinder hasn't played an NHL game. 🤔

I forgot. That's the Red Wings fan's way on CFACGM. Trade every player who wasn't drafted by them. 🤔

Presumably the Red Wings analytics department. The team has 6 other veteran dmen (all with term that makes them harder to move). They have 2 quality defensive prospects who should potentially be getting NHL looks (they can't slide anymore).

By the deadline they probably aren't contenders, and so Ghost, based on his play, lack of term, and lack of long term role, would be the guy to sell.

They were in a playoff spot this time last year too. Surely Hronek and Bertuzzi don't hit the market

You think the red wings as currently assembled are contenders? I wouldn't even say they're an NYI type team where 1 goalie could take them all the way

In a 7 game series give me NJD, Car, NYR, NYI, Pitt, Boston, Florida, Tampa, Toronto, Ottawa, Buffalo over them (you can argue about a few of these teams but you get the point)

While this exploration is well thought, I don't think anyone other than Duc is on their "list". If there's a player who may have Drury's attention, consider a young player with entry level term like Paul Cotter ($775k for 3 yrs) in Vegas. In terms of defense, a teammate: Nicholas Hague ($2.29M for 2 years), who in my opinion has been underutilized by the Golden Knights.

Both players are huge (Cotter: 6'3", 215 lbs; Hague: 6'6", 230 lbs) and are solid skaters in both zones. Coming here with youthful Stanley Cup experience, can be such an asset.

Danforth, Zuccarello, and M. Foligno all have recently signed extensions through at least next year. Foligno and Zuccarello have full NMCs. None of those three are likely going anywhere anytime soon.

New York isn't exactly a hard place to convince someone to waive to

Not mine, but if you feel like casting the wide net that’s all you. Feel free to view my posts if you want more details.

Just looking more long term and he is a guy that screams mercenary for playoff teams. If needed (depending on roster next summer) I would love having him back with the Wings.

They also have NMC's... 🤣🤣🤣

No, but teams typically don't trade players they extend and give full NMCs before the contract extension has even kicked in.

Stamkos as a Ranger would be insane, and I could see them making a move for Tarasenko again if OTT doesn't get back in contention. Reuniting with Duclair seems to make the most sense of the bunch though.

I don't see a scenario where the RW trade Kane. He signed with the Red Wings and turned down multi-year deals from other teams. He hand picked his destination, and he is made it known he doesn't want to be traveling from team to team to team to finish his career.

I think the leadership that Foligno is providing the Hawks has been greatly appreciated. Only way the Hawks trade him are if he specifically asks to be moved.
