Sujet: Winnipeg Rebuild - Attempt Two
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Ehlers is level wise around the same class as Guentzel, DeBrincat and Nylander, and the only issue is that he's a bit more injury prone. He's worth much, much more than a statistical nightmare like Granlund, and a 2nd round pick.

Hellebuyck is in Vezina contention. Calling him worth a third is absolutely ludicrous. Ville Husso, as a pending UFA, got a 3rd for his signing rights, with 0 years left.</div></div>

By created xgoals 5v5 / All Situations:
Ehlers: 9.3 / 13
Nylander: 22.4 / 33
Guentzel: 18.8 / 38
Cat: 16.1 / 28

Taking into account that Ehlers played less games makes his numbers go up but he is in a lower tier. Also, teams trading for him can't overlook his injury history. It's a chronic problem.

Just because someone paid more for another guy doesn't mean he is worth that. Hextall paid a mid 2nd for Granlund.

Kudos for the effort for making relatively interesting post in terms of trading, but imo some valuations and more the targets for these exchanges are tad off.

Detroit is not looking to be a playoff team on a short timeframe. The fact they traded Hronek and Bertuzzi for first rounders while still competing for a playoff spot speaks volumes about Yzerman thinking they're not ready yet. I don't think the switch from Husso to Hellebuyck is changing that direction...if there is a team to trade a first rounder for Hellebuyck, it would be from one that's confident in their ability to make the playoffs next year, as he likely is a rental goalie.

BOS is cap strapped big time, so they're not exactly in position to take in Dubois now, who is likely to cost fairly close to as much as the entire package going Jets' way here. BOS needs to shed cap, not increase it.

Stanley is a sheltered 24-year old D-man that's not likely to be a fit in the lineup in any team save for the bottom-5 teams in the league. Buffalo does not have a need for LHD. You could try someone taking him as a depth D, but the more correct valuation for him rn is something closer to what Bear got (5th+fringe player).

ARI is able to make it to cap minimum without taking additional contracts...they're financially so f*cked their upper limit rn is probably around $60-65M dollars lol. I think Schmidt would be a better fit in Chicago for instance.

Lastly, I just don't see a scenario where WSH ends up paying to rid themselves of Mantha. They've invested way too much for him, so either they get positive value out of him or they just suck it up and keep him.

I like the Wild trade though. Wheeler going home sounds solid to me, and they really need to change something up - that first round is such a curse for them right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sburns1992</b></div><div>Commented this on a similar post earlier but as an outside observer I thought Detroit was closer to contending then they are I suppose. I will obviously defer to Red Wings fans on that one.</div></div>

Yeah but we lost Bertuzzi and Vrana at the start of the season they were in our top 6. That puts Fabbri in to the top 6 but with the knees of an 80yr old he was only able to play 28 games. Now Rasmussen did step up and played well until he got injured. Edvinsson who would have made the team out of camp is now out for 5 months with a shoulder injury. So Mazur could actually make the team out of camp. With injuries and horrible lottery luck I'm not sure Detroit is even a playoff team for the next couple of seasons. And that is pretty depressing.
