<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFan</b></div><div>Vanek Trade: Comparing Smith Trade to him isn't very accurate, Dmen are more valuable than forwards, PLUS Vanek has a history of poor playoffs performances, TSN mentions that not many teams interested in him. I think value for him is a 2nd and a 3rd/4th but if someone offers a 2nd I would take it if I'm Holland. </div></div>

Disagree on Vanek. He's the best rental forward available. And this climate proves that people are paying absurd prices for guys. Nashville had a great run last year and they're cruising now. They're a win now team, and Vanek helps them enough to pay the price. Poile has had large balls in the past, so just going by precedent.

Thanks for your rational comments, by the way. Not much of that happens on here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WingFanBT9</b></div><div><i>Agreed with the above from "Bones20". Detroit is making out way to well in the current trade. WPG wants more than a downsided forward and a prospect defenseman. I also have like 20 questions on the Islander trade.. like first off, WHY? What do they gain from this trade? They have Halak at $4.5M and will probably list Greiss as their starter this year... They would give up their starter, 2 pretty decent prospects and a 2nd round pick for a $5M backup and a AHL 1st line player? Would anyone really accept that trade?</i></div></div>

Shedding a contract. The Islanders need an upgrade at goalie, and Jimmy would be more than an upgrade over Halak. I went to a Wings/Isles game in Brooklyn last year, and most Isles fans I talked to would rather have Jimmy than what they had... The Islanders were one of the teams interested in Jimmy over the last few years.

I guess we just disagree on the first rounders part. I mean that's where we got Larkin. Mantha has been slower to develop, sure, but the ceiling is still there. Svechnikov is tearing up Cape Bretton. I think we've done pretty well in the first round in recent years considering we never pick near the top.

As for Stamkos, I'm not sure I would pay 11. Maybe? If we can get rid of Ericsson, then I would be more comfortable. But as I said in my team proposal, I think the offensive potential is for the most part still there. Tightening the D will allow our scores more freedom to take higher risk chances.[/quote]

Agreed on Mantha, Larkin and Svech but they've picked much earlier to get those guys. They've missed on a lot of guys in the last decade in the first round. McCollum, Kindl, Smith (kind of, I still like him), Sheahan (could have had Kuznetsov). But they've done well recently for sure, picking earlier. Part of the reason why I want to trade up in this loaded draft. How about a sign and trade, Gus for the rights to Vatanen? Would that be more appealing? I understand you on not wanting to lose firsts, but if the team was successful for a few years, it wouldn't bother me that much.

Youre signing RFAs that wont even be available. I dont care what the "numbers" say.

To overpay a one trick pony like Stamkos that much money for that many years is even more moronic.</i></div></div>

Glad to see you think like Holland. Enjoy missing the playoffs with stalled thinking. My trades aren't that unrealistic. You attack away and have the stalled thinking of "I don't care what the numbers say." That's the thinking that has the Wings in the position they're in. PS: I can't take people with poor grammar seriously. Keep attacking people, buddy. I'm sure spreading you crappy rhetoric will get you really far.

Why don't Demers/Goli cut it? You would rather have Vatanen and no first round pick for the next 2 years than Demers (who you could probably get for unter 5mil AAV) or Goli (who could probably get for under 6mil AAV) and keeping all your picks? You mention 5v5 CF% in your description, but if you look at the stats Demers is a much better shot &amp; goal suppressor and acutaly puts up MORE pts/60 min than Vatanen. Granted, Vatanen is still improving and obviously hasn't reached his ceiling yet but the cost of signing a RFA is sooooo high. If you want to do a sign and trade, that's better; but we still have to trade something/someone to ANA in order to get Vatanen.

As for Stamkos, it's not that we just have to outbid Tampa (you are right in saying that 9.5 would probably cut it there) we have to outbid the ENTIRE NHL. This guy is going to have everyone offering him some kind of contract. That means that the odds are someone is going to offer him the chance to be the highest payed player in the league. So, once again, think around 11 mil.[/quote]

Didn't know that for Demers. I really like Vatanen because of his age. I would be willing to part with first rounders. The Wings have proven they don't draft well at the back end of the first round. So I'm okay with losing those picks if the the team will already be successful long-term.

Would you pay Stamkos 11? I still would.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurnEmUp</b></div><div><i>From a Flames stand point, a big no thanks to that trade. Flames are just finishing up year 3 of the rebuild and are not going to be trading a top 5 pick (lottery pending) or our #1 defense prospect, with an aging, overpaid, under performing 30+ year old goalie as the center piece in the return. Better off just signing Reimer and keeping the young assets.

Also, while I don't mind the skill Nyquist brings, the Flames are trying to get bigger on the wings so he doesn't really fit either.

One more thing, this trade makes no sense for the Flames cap wise either. Can't be taking on almost $10 million in cap with nothing going the other way.</i></div></div>


Sorry man. I agree. I'm just trying to find a team my team can fleece. I think Jimmy Howard makes sense for you guys. Not sure which of your F's or D's you'd be trying to part with in return. Calgary makes sense as a trade partner because Burkie/Treliving haven't shied away from big deals in the past. What would you give up for Howard or Nyquist? Would there be any scenario where you would swap your first with a respectable top 16 first?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redw1n9s</b></div><div><i>You obviously don't know much about how contracts work. AA as first line C, seriously? Teemu in the lineup, seriously? Ericsson and Kronwall still paired together?? haha, alright then.</i></div></div>
Feel you in Krownwall and Ericsson. But no GM in the league is taking those contracts on. And if they're getting paid that much, they won't be healthy scratches at any point in their careers (see this year). Best we could hope for them is the expansion draft, and from what I understand guys with NMCs and NTCs may not be leaving any way. In which case: the Wings would be screwed.

And yes, Athanasiou is my first line center going forward. You must not watch much hockey or know about advanced statistics. His corsi/fenwick is off the charts. And if we;re using the eye-test, he's been the best Wings' forward since Feburary, in very limited minutes. They've been trying to find a second line center for 5 years since they lost Filppula. Bertuzzi got old, Helm was never more than a bottom 6 guy, Weiss was a bust and so was Richards. The point of the second line C was to enable them to put Datsyuk and Zetterberg together. Well now Datsyuk is leaving and Zetterberg is too old and underproductive to be a first line C. My suggestion? Make him the second line c they've needed for years. He could still be solid in a smaller role. Sheahan won't be more than a third line C and AA has more than proved he is ready. It's not that crazy... And Pulkkinen is a capable scorer. Just needs minutes and needs to not be in a fourth line checking role. He's been the answer on the PP all year, but Blash can't use him because he's been handcuffed with bad contracts that need to get playing time (Richards, Andersson, Abdelkader etc)

I would be more scared of ANA <strong>NOT</strong> matching that and we actually sign Vatanen. We would have to give up <strong>TWO</strong> first rounders, a second, and a third round pick at that salary. That would be disastrous.

Furthermore, you can't offer Stamkos 8 years. Only Tampa can do that. He's also not going to sign for 9.5. Think closer to 11.

I don't think either of those trades are realistic. ARI won't give up anything close to valuable in a dats trade. We're going to have to beg them to take it in the first place. CGY isn't giving up their best dman prospect and a potential top 5 pick for a goalie on the wrong side of 30 and our middle first round pick. Nyquist is a valuable trade piece but I don't think valuable enough to make CGY take this trade. Not to mention we probably wouldn't even have our 2016 1st rounder if we sign Vatanen. I'd much rather have Demers or Goligowski for only money. Not Vatanen for money and picks.</i></div></div>

Trades weren't supposed to be super-realistic. I doubt either Calgary or Arizona would part with some solid prospects. Demers/Goligoski don't cut it for me. I think an AAV of 9.5 gets Stamkos. Tampa's offer of mid-8's was rumored to be respectable to the Stamkos camp. So despite the years I gave, I think the Wings have a shot if they clear some cap-space.
