<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>Bertuzzi played with Larkin and Mantha.. Kerfoot played with multiple wingers. Mikheyev, Johnsson, Kapanen, Engvall, etc. None of them come close to the calibre of line mates Bertuzzi had. Kerfoot's also a centre. They're more valuable than dime a dozen wingers. Kerfoot's versatile. Plus I said Bertuzzi's contract expires next season and Kerfoot's doesn't. That would cost the Leafs more on his contract, not to mention he's likely be exposed to Seattle and lost for nothing. Makes no sense for the Leafs. Again, I said MARGINAL upgrade to Bertuzzi. But the difference in the players is FAR less than Liljegren. Ok buddy?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>And you think Bertuzzi had it any easier? Last season AA pretty much forgot how to play and Mantha was on IR for quite awhile, So they split up Bertuzzi and Larkin. The some of the players Bertuzzi was paired shouldn't even be in the NHL anymore.

Kapanen's career numbers 41g + 49a for 90 points in 202 games

Bertuzzi's career numbers 49g + 79a for 119 points in 199 games

So does that mean Kapanen only marginally better than Kerfoot?</div></div>

Kerfoot and Bertuzzi play a completely different style of game. Comparing their stats is literally comparing apples to oranges.
Bert is more valuable to the Wings because he fits in so well with Larkin and Mantha. Regardless of if Kerfoot was the better player (I don't think he is, but hey, everybody has their opinions), his value would be inflated to the Wings for that reason. Also worth considering, the Wings have Hronek, Seider, Lindstrom, and potentially Tuomisto at RD. Liljegren isn't a bad prospect by any stretch of the imagination, but his value to the Wings isn't all that high because of the prospects they already have at that position.

In short, Detroit would decline. What they have is more appealing to them than what's offered.

Sujet: Revised Laine Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>digitalbath</b></div><div>Wings fans all say "wings pass" lol to every trade,

I actually think Ritchie might work out for the wings, hes only 25, former first round pick that hasnt panned out just yet, but he isnt exactly a bust

I dont think the wings would give up 3 picks for him, but id say maybe a prospect or a 4th rounder and i would go for it, Boston may end up waiving him anyway? so wings could take a flyer on him and see if he fits in? I like it, just change it to a single 4th ? if not thats cool too, try him out this next season and see what he does. \

Its tiring everyone just says pass, but doesnt even think about it</div></div>

Honestly, the value's not particularly bad here. The kicker is that the WIngs' bottom 6 is pretty full as is without factoring in potential prospects, and adding Ritchie doesn't really make the team significantly better. The Wings have bottom 6 guys in spades, and there's always a plethora available in free agency. Is it really worth spending anything at all to pick up a player when you could get a rough equivalent for free next season?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bigboi69</b></div><div>Mcdonagh has 5 years left and detriot will not be pressed against the cap at any time within the next 10 years so a second plus mcdonagh for leadership and a 1st could easily get berggren who is good but you are severely overrating him</div></div>

Just because Detroit has cap space doesn't mean they're in a hurry to spend it. McDonagh's contact will, in all likelihood, be an absolute anchor for the last few years of it, which is exactly what a rebuilding team like Detroit will be wanting to avoid. They'll be trying to compete around that time, and having that contract will be have an extremely negative impact on their cap situation.

Also worth considering, Detroit's blueliner average age is over 28. They don't need leadership, they need elite talent. We could argue McDonagh's elite status all day, but Detroit needs high draft picks, not a good defenseman already over 30 and due to start declining any time now.
McDonagh doesn't help the Wings in the short term or the long term because of where they are at and the direction of the team. A late 1st several years from now doesn't come close to offsetting the negative value that McDonagh's contract would have to a rebuilding team. Plus, you want a good prospect that's currently lighting up the SHL, from a team that needs picks and quality prospects over anything? No chance they make a deal like that.

Sujet: Fitting under the cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CrazyK04</b></div><div>Would do you want? You are giving up literally nothing for a couple high draft picks and a good player. Ottawa made these types of deals all the time.</div></div>

A late 2nd and a late 3rd are not what I'd call high draft picks.
Detroit's looking for roster flexibility for their rebuild. An already declining, smaller forward over 30 who is only going to get slower and worse, is signed for $5M for another 4 seasons does not qualify as roster flexibility. Detroit also has several holes that need filling, and they're building through the draft. Seeking short term gains like Johnson would only hurt their draft position now, and he would regress enough to be absolute anchor before the contract is up.
All in all, Johnson hurts the Wings in the short term and in the long term. Regardless of how good he is now, he has extremely negative value to the Wings.

Sujet: why would you give faulk that contract
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>In theory yes, you are hoping to fleece in every deal but do it with transparency. Not know from the get-go it's going to be an extremely lopsided affair. GM's don't have to make deals with you and if they do they instead will go out of their way to get back at you. Could even go into Offer-Sheet territory.</div></div>

GMs being petty like that would only ruin their own reputation. Nobody wants to deal with someone who will act like a petulant child if they feel they lost a trade or didn't get what they wanted.
I think we're going to have to agree to disagree here. The Wings taking Bozak might cost them draft positions, which is far more important than being a little bit better at this stage of the rebuild. For that reason, Bozak is more of a negative to the team than a positive, at least in my opinion.

Sujet: Solution without trading NTCs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigTramFan</b></div><div>Yeah that would be a real tough conversation..."Sorry Troy, I know you were looking forward to 2 years of losing in Detroit, but we have to send you to a contender in Florida..."</div></div>

You're missing the bigger point here. Maybe Stetcher would be happy with the trade, maybe he wouldn't. What this would say to other potential free agents is that Detroit may not honor a contract that you just signed, and that they can't be trusted to keep their word. "Just finished moving in to the area? Pack your bags, we're sending you out. Move again." "We promised you a 2nd line role with powerplay time? We promised someone else that they would have some stability here and we flipped them less than a month into a two year contract. Why would we keep a promise to you?" Those implications are far more damaging to a GM's reputation and would make signing other free agents way harder. Not worth it in the slightest.

Sujet: Rebuilding for the sake of rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>I doubt the Wing;'s trade Lindstrom for True. Lindstrom is never going to put up a lot of points he is a defensive defenseman with a lot of poise for a player of his age and experience level. I don't know if you watched many of the games he played in last season but Mickey, Osgood, Murphy and Bertuzzi couldn't stop talking about how impressed they were with his play. Very few defensemen come in and play defensively like he did he doesn't get pressured in to making turnovers and he is perfectly fine eating the puck instead of trying to force a breakout pass that isn't there. He wasn't an Yzerman draft pick but he is the type of defenseman Yzerman loves he's big but mobile and defense is the #1 priority. I actually expect to see him on the opening night roster in the 3rd pair but with all the UFAs signed I'm not sure. Last season Lindstrom received a lot of the praise that Tuomisto has received this season. Which is why we are seeing Tuomisto in a lot of ACGM posts.</div></div>

I did get to watch Lindstrom a bit, and the eye test results were good. He was mostly unnoticeable in a good way, but did have the occasional good pass or smart defensive play. Considering he was a 21 year old rookie still in his first year on North American ice, I was impressed with him. Maybe I expected better relative Corsi numbers based on the eye test? What else strikes me as strange is that he's currently playing in the 2nd tier league in Sweden, when he should probably be in the SHL, which makes me doubt the eye test.
Regardless, trading a defenseman that's under 23 is usually a bad idea because of how much room they have to grow. I wouldn't make this deal, but was interested in the sales pitch.
