<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Westerner</b></div><div>Why is everyone so stuck on Czarnik here, you do see the 1st rounder and Bennett in this trade, no? If this is so incredibly horrible then why don't you respectfully suggest an alternative instead of pretending you are an actual GM, or so deeply knowledgable that you focus on the minor part of the deal, a throw in if you will. Mantha is a UFA after this year, and is going to get a raise, getting Bennett and 1st does not seem that far fetched for a potential rental that may go elsewhere at seasons end. Take it easy, have a drink or something and re-evaluate how important you really are.</div></div>

Mantha is far and away Detroit's most talented player and at 25yrs old a 30yr old Bennett and most likely a player projected to go in the last 5 or 6 spots of the 1st round don't equal Mantha. Mantha is an RFA at the end of this year because he is 25 and in his 4th season. Detroit will have plenty to resign him with because not resigning Green, Daley and Ericsson frees up about $12.8M.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>So they're dumb. Got it.

Fans always underrate offensive players if they're not gritty enough for them.

Kessel was hated by much if Leafs nation through his career in TO and was sold for pennies on the dollar because "you can't win with him". But it's nonsense. He is one of the best offensive players of his generation. It's just extremely hard to build around wingers. Kessel has always just been Kane without Toews</div></div>

Its not grit, its not playing with an edge, its his compete level and leadership when the games mean the most. Avs completely shut him down and made him irrelevant bc he's easy to game plan against. Instead of fighting through It, changing things up, etc, He basically just quit.

Thats what fans in Calgary worry about, if hes your best player and most important, you can't have a guy with that sort of mentality

He is slow, he lacks skills, and in today's NHL his size is meaningless. Logan Stanley who is more offensively gifted, faster, and stronger than Martenet has already been severely criticized for being selected so early, and he at best will probably only be a number 6 Dman on a good defensive roster, so yeah we have no need for Martenet. We need to get something better if we are to retain Wideman.</i></div></div>

Not retaining Wideman for that package is fine.</i></div></div>

For that package I would eat 50% of Wides cap hit!.... shhhh don't tell anyone!!! LOL
That being said Wides has value but only for the right team... A team that has little to on Blue Line PP presents...
And that has some cap space and the open roster spot... The list is short but Vancouver / the Devils / and Rangers could all really use him...
The big ??? is what teams are on his submitted list??? It would be very easy for him to turn in a list that kills any possibility of a trade???
