<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>Grans is a carbon copy of Hronek with the same defensive deficiencies, he'll never be good enough to replace him and you can't have two defenders on the same side with that problem.

You're essentially giving away Bert for Turcotte and a 2nd. Bert is on pace for 80 points this season what are you replacing that with?

You're also giving away both a 4th and Leddy for a player that you'll have to put on waivers at season start. We already have both Juolevi and Oesterle on the roster and there's no way you can run with three "marginals" on LD next year, The defense will be even worse next year if you try it. Take the 2nd for Leddy and pick a good player at the draft instead.

You're paying both a 4th and Viro for a defender that has scored a total of 9 goals in over 200 games and been a minus player on every single team he's played and those team were good too.

So far you're suggesting Detroit should go with Oesterle, Joulevi, Välimäki, Fleury on LD next season. You've also given away 80 points of production. In what way is that an improvement on this year?</div></div>

The LD they are replacing were a dumpster fire on defense. Leddy could only play offense, DeKeyser couldn't do anything, and Staal was what you would expect from an aging veteran playing on the 3rd pair. IMO this is an upgrade to what the Wings put on on LD in the 2021-22 season.

The Wings will not be a contending team for at least 2-4 years, so you have to plan for the core pieces in the roster to be coming into their prime at that time. You also need to have depth in the prospect pool, especially with injuries that happen during the season. There is a lack of Center and RD depth in the prospect pool, which is why I made the trade with the Kings. The Wings have 5 high ceiling LD prospects (Johansson, Sebrango, Edvinsson, Wallinder, and Buium), besides the two being traded away. I expect 2 out of the 5 will be on the roster within the next 2-4 years, and they should replace what is currently defined on the roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>Yzerman isn't dealing Adam Erne, And fat chance that Yzerman accepts a 3rd round pick for Nick Leddy at $2,750,000 it's a late 2nd or Yzerman will just hold onto him.</div></div>

Most everyone has Yzerman trading Namesnikov, but Vlad was around the Wings when SY was playing with his uncle, Slava Kozlov. Vlad had a home here in the offseason before he was signed as a FA. IMO His great attitude, professionalism, ability to play on any line, and his love for being a Red Wing will keep him here for the foreseeable future.

With that in mind, I expect Erne to be the odd man out, especially since he is the type of player playoff teams desire to add to their lineup and his value probably will never be higher.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letter_Kenny</b></div><div>I don't want Maata here. Rather trade for Martinez. Or Pettersson if he's available. Try to sign Lindholm.</div></div>

At the moment, I don't expect Martinez to be available, and I'm not sure what the actual cost would be in a trade. There are so many different proposals in CF that have Detroit sending a high 2022 draft pick and a top prospect to Vegas. That is definitely not something Yzerman would do.

I too like Pettersson, but the cost may be too expensive (probably at least a 2022 2nd round pick and a top prospect. Detroit also has multiple very good LD prospects in the pipeline, so Yzerman may stay the course with his plan.

As far as signing Lindholm, I fully expect new GM Verbeek to address his contract extension first thing in his tenure. That led me to signing a stop gap for 3 years while our LD prospects mature and integrate into the roster over that time. Maata should be a decent TDL acquisition for a playoff contender as his contract expires in 3 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>That Vegas trade isn't something I see them accepting this trade. They are trying to win now and Martinez helps them with that a lot more than a defenseman a few years away from the NHL. I like the Panthers trade but I doubt they accept that trade.</div></div>

Vegas is currently $9+ million over the cap, with the salaries of Eichel $10 million and Martinez $5+ million buried in LTIR. Both are scheduled to come off LTIR, so something has to give to in order to activate them both. Even if they shed the Martinez salary, they still have much more salary to get rid of to activate Eichel.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TampaBayLightning22</b></div><div>Yzerman isn't dealing Leddy $2,750,000 for what is basically a 4th round pick if the Caps win the cup. Yzerman will just hold onto him for that offer.</div></div>
There are a lot of LD options at the trade deadline, and the Wings already have Washington's 2022 2nd round. At this point, I don't see the Wings keeping Leddy past the deadline no matter what.

Sujet: Expanded roster but same cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jim_Benning_Almost</b></div><div>Lots of people say this, and if this was a normal season, you would be 100% correct. However in this new post-COVID, no gate revenue, flat cap for at least two years, double escrow, 10% deferred salary world, all bets are off. On top of all this, the clock is ticking on Tampa....</div></div>

My thoughts on making this trade. It also provides Yzerman flexibility the trade deadline, as well as having multiple potential assets to trade: Kilorn, Ryan, Helm, Glendening, Gagner, Nemeth, Stahl, Biega, and Bernier. It makes Detroit a more competitive team this year without sacrificing the future. I could even see Yzerman trading Kilorn back to Tampa at the 2021 trade deadline, retaining half of Kilorn's salary for an additional asset.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SweetRevenge19</b></div><div>You sound like someone who just listened to the latest podcast episode of “Wings for Breakfast” on The Athletic and took everything Max Bultman and Prashanth Iyer were saying about Sanderson and building out from defence out as gospel. If I’m wrong and you didn’t hear it? And your opinion wasn’t swayed by them.. then fine, but that’s exactly what they were talking about also. </div></div>

I didn't listen to that podcast, although I have listened to a couple of them in the past. I have always been a proponent of Defense wins championships. Obviously that starts with who is in goal, but almost all championship teams have had a strong defense, including Detroit during their glory years. IMO Yzerman has seen this during his playing career, and he built a very strong D in Tampa. The more I've read about Samuelson, I really believe he can be part of a key defensive core for many years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Why would Anaheim want Dennis Cholowski? They need RD help not LD help Yeah well if Detroit has a chance to get Alexis Lafreniere we take him we need a franchise player and Lafreniere is a franchise player.</div></div>

Although the Ducks would prefer RD help, they really need Dmen overall. Cholowski has shown the offensive acumen for being a future powerplay QB. He's still working on the defensive side, and has shown progress. By making the trade, the Ducks get a promising former 1st round pick for moving down from the last pick in the 1st round to the mid 2nd.

As far as Lafreniere, he is a legit elite wing. By moving down one spot, the Wings get a potentially elite center in Byfield that is almost a year younger than Lafreniere, and he is showing the same potential that Lafreniere was at this time in his career development. In addition to that, the Wings get mid-second round pick for Ottawa to get the NHL ready elite French Canadian face of the franchise they covet.
