<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PLDGEY</b></div><div>Respectfully,

In his last 3 seasons, he has played at a 38goal pace including this down season. Norris was injured and Cat had to play the whole year with Pinto. You should be fair to a guy who was stapled to the hip of a guy who came into the season with 17 games NHL experience. Would you expect Cat to pot 40 on Berggen's rookie season, in Cat's year with the new team?

Cat does 35 to 40 on DET. Hell, even if you just regress his shooting to career avg he literally a 40 goal scorer again.</div></div>

I don't think Cat would be a 40 guy on Detroit unless he's playing with Larkin, in which case we're still a 1 line team and that doesn't seem worth 9oa to me.

Dude just isn't a line driver, I'd rather get a center at 9oa (or trade up to get michkov) than trade for Cat who is a finisher but doesn't drive the play

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PLDGEY</b></div><div>I find it very interesting that a lot of DET fans are saying this, but in my experience most fans from impartial teams say that getting a 40goal scorer in their prime, locked up for 8 years is what you would be PRAYING that 9OA turns into.

Fans of every fanbase famously over-value their own prospects and picks

I know the 2023 draft is deeper than the 2017 draft, but &gt;6 years in Michael Rassmussen is an NHL player... but if you could trade him for Cat you know you would in a heartbeat. Sometimes there is value in the sure thing. IMHO, DET could use a little sure thing right now to support their good prospect pool as they look to make steps in a difficult division.</div></div>

You're using Ras as an example, which is a really poor one. That was a historically weak draft.

Cat is not worth the 9OA this year - simple as that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PredsWingsFan</b></div><div>Id take Monahan if the deal is right, meaning i wouldn't necessarily "buy" him. I don't blame Trochek at all. In my mind, teams that were good this year and just faltered in the playoffs will likely come back next year looking very similar. I'm just wondering who becomes available if Tampa wins this year.. Do they debate letting Cirelli go? Sergachev? Those teams against the cap should get interesting this offseason</div></div>

You have good points. Heck some teams are going have trouble signing their own RFAs due to cap issues, never mind their own UFAs or other teams UFAs. Wings could certainly sign a good UFA or two, or as you suggest just bide time and sign next summer. With so many cap strapped teams, UFAs will be looking for a "home", and I think Detroit will be a favourable place to be.

Sujet: What does a Monahan deal look like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PredsWingsFan</b></div><div>Don't forget about what Fabbri and Vrana became after an Yzerman move. This would be a good deal for Detroit if they moved a 5th, 6th or 7th just for Monahan nothing retained. The risk vs reward for Detroit to "pay" for Monahan isnt so bad. The likely hood of a 5th, 6th, 7th round pick making it in the NHL is not very good. Calgary being in a spot that requires them to move his contract works for Detroit to gain more from Calgary. Id look for Calgary to maybe send back a 4th or 5th with Monahan, Detroit gives them future considerations... That would be a win. Overall though, like I said, worst case I would be ok with Yzerman giving up a 6th straight up. Its a one year deal, we have the room, experiment on this one.. say "but what if"... nothing to really lose</div></div>

Pretty much the way I see it. If he can get healthy and return to better form that he has been the last couple years, Yzerman looks like a genius. If he can't hack it anymore, at worst Detroit gave up a late pick who will probably never see the show. Very low risk from Detroit's side

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PredsWingsFan</b></div><div>way undervalued Bertuzzi there. You must be a leafs fan... Not only did you eat contract, but you only got 1 prospect and took more cap off their plate. This trade pretty much saves the Leafs for next year and puts Detroit behind 2 more years in the rebuild... If your a Wings fan making this, you should be embarrassed.. You have to be a Leafs fan to do this.</div></div>

You must remember that Knies is a really good prospects and what I have seen he is the real deal. And yes, it saves the Leafs for next year, but they get rid of, maybe the best prospect, and Bertuzzi has only 1 year left on the contact and then he will cas in so it is basically a rental for Leafs. But I hear what you are saying and maybe I undervalue Bertuzzi. i'm just having fun being a GM.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PredsWingsFan</b></div><div>I like the Salary dumps for Wilson. That trade provides a ton of downside to Washington.
it is highly likely that Detroit wins a playoff series before Toronto does, so Holl doesnt work.

This just seems like you are having teams take bad trades out of pity for the leafs. You literally have Arizona likely moving back in the 7th round to take your salary dump... WHY???
The leafs &amp; 1st round rivalry is like Christmas its a tradition coming once every year that everyone looks forward to. None of these "basement" teams are taking your garbage for nothing.</div></div>

Coyotes are literally going to need to hit the cap floor, and free agents are not going to sign there. They are going to be banking on guys like Mrazek coming over, playing decent, and then flipping them at the deadline.

I just did a new one where my realistic trade with them is Mrazek + 3rd for a 7th. A more likely scenario
