<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Yeah. This makes a lot of sense for CHI and DET, regardless of what some might think. DET isn't rebuilding anymore, if they need that cap space, they are gonna do what it takes. CHI's 2nd round pick will be 34th overall. That is not a bad trade off for DET to gain the cap space, maybe keep Kane around, re-sign Raymond, and create some roster space for young players/prospects to step into the NHL ranks. And there will definitely be some very intriguing prospects available with CHI's 2nd. I actually liked Husso a lot when he was with STL. It's a shame he hasn't panned out.</div></div>

Doesn't really make sense for Detroit. This team isn't any better. All we did was lose picks for nothing in this. Gus didn't post much better numbers, was healthy and had a way better defense infront of him. That's not an upgrade. Soda2.0 would be cool but he doesn't hold much value. That pick is too important to the long term plan. We will get a quality player at 15OA, those other picks are just lottery tickets.

Sujet: More ideas for a Kane contract
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LikeABoss</b></div><div>Fair, I also heard Konecny and Ristolainen might be on the table for a Zegras deal. I'm not sure what 2 1st round picks is worth, but just starting there, I think you'd be close to a fair trade with Philly.

Ferraro is a reliable shutdown D that can eat a bunch of minutes regardless of who his partner is. Walman is okay with Seider, but I think Edvinsson should be on the top pair. Ferraro would probably benefit from less minutes/wear and tear from physical play, and would be the perfect insulation to protect Sandin Pellikka. I think that would be a lot more utility with a top 4 of Edvinsson Seider, Ferraro SDP, than with Walman Seider, Edvinsson SDP.

Kane can be LTIRetired too if he starts to fall off. He has a legit issue that will likely only impede him more as he continues to play. They could also LTIR him and add some big fish at the TDL, just so Kane can be fresh for the start of the playoffs:cool I think a lower AAV longer term contract might be the better route, especially with the cap going up.</div></div>

Neither of those players from Philly we should target, our team isn't good enough to go big game hunting. Trading top prospects/ picks will shorten our window, which hasn't even been opened yet. I could maybe see a world where Risto is a target for cheap with a bit of retention but he's not that good.
I have no issue with Ferraro but Wallinder could be better than him by the end of next season. I do like how physical and defensive play though. I do believe we need to be more physical and better defensively.
Can't just LTIR a guy if he isn't hurt and he'll want to play if he can. I'm pretty sure he would be okay with a shorter term deal, he knows his situation.
This team is really frustrating as a fan. Rebuilds take so long and this one is no exception. If we start trading picks and prospects for aging players, we will never be a contender and just be doomed as a borderline playoff team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I don't think that Detroit and Anaheim are good partners for a Zegras trade. We want an impact player or prospect at RW or RD. Obviously, Raymond and Seider are too much and it feels like everyone else on the Red Wing books is too little. The only possibility I could imagine would be Sandin Pellikka plus a first-round draft pick for him.</div></div>

You’re right, for big deals (such as a Zegras trade) they are not good partners. Much rather they keep a working relationship and trade minor pieces.

In saying that, no shot ASP + a 1st would be used. Both the Ducks and Wings have solid d prospects, I’m sure there is a mutual understanding on how the teams are being built.
Edvinsson-Mo
Wallinder-ASP
Walman/AJ/Buium - Tuo/Gibson/Ant

Remove ASP and the right side looks more like the current team… Seider -&gt; cliff -&gt; Petry/Holl/Chiarot/Ghost

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LikeABoss</b></div><div>I was kinda guessing, not really a huge fan of Zegras but I love Gudas. I was going off a random article I found for a ballpark:

https://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/articles/what_would_be_the_potential_trade_value_of_trevor_zegras_to_the_canadiens/s1_17203_39928766

I figured Burger + Walman &gt; Farrell + Harris, and the picks are also comparable. From the Wing's perspective I was thinking Kane might be able to rekindle Zegras' game, but personally I wouldn't want Stevie to bet the farm on Zegras.

I was more focused on the Kane part, I read something about him wanting term, which Stevie has been averse to doing. Thanks for the feedback though!</div></div>

When Z was healthy at the end of the year, he was looking great. Cronin just talked about how impressed he was after coming back from the ankle and the other groin injury he had (something pubis I think it’s called. Same thing Couture had all year)
