Proposal: 4th pick plus Mantha ➕? For Werenski?

[Hen Kolland]

But when he played with Brad Richards and St Louis in New York his statistics and impact on the game stayed exactly the same

NYR Rick Nash was certainly not the same player as CBJ Rick Nash, but certainly his only year at 30-years-old with retiring 39-year-old St. Louis which he led the organization in goals with 42 and points with 69 can't qualify as a disappointment.

For my money, Nash was immensely underappreciated, and it's a real shame that the only impact players he got a chance to play with during his prime were corpses.

Honestly, I wouldnt trade for Werenski right now (outide of a rip off type of deal), because he doesnt move the needle that much. This team is still finishing bottom 5 with Weresnki. Its worth waiting and hoping you can get him for free in FA because he actually will be looking to be a FA right when Detroit should be getting pretty good again

The problem is that is essentially a hyperbole of the situation. Werenski is friends with Larkin, and thats about as far as it goes in reality.

OK, you want Larkin? Let's talk trade.
Two Wolverines in Cbus? Why not. The Big 10 is canceled.

 

[Dotter]

You don't pick for position, you pick BPA

Drysdale is the BPA at #4

Yep, just get best offensive player, next draft will get D with our 4th
Just get character guy with leadership guy who hate to loose

 

[ZDH]

Id do it for Mantha and a 2nd/4th something like that

Not interesting moving our 1st rounder personally

I would definitely not be opposed to that lol.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Buddies with Larks I think that's a good starting framework? No?

I wouldn't do that trade from a Detroit standpoint. Not close.

proper logic

Mantha is elite at his position.

Is Mantha even a top 30 winger in the NHL? He’s a first liner, but elite is a stretch

that said deal is still huge overpayment

He was a top 30 winger in terms of ppg (tied with Matt Tkachuk, players with at least 25 games) this season. We'll have to see if he can have a full healthy season with similar production and he's definitely up there.

The standpoint is he is a great young player the framework is 4th + Mantha

 

[majormajor]

Regardless of whether Detroit would do it, I can tell you that Columbus would not.

Columbus is a team that struggles to create offense, and nobody on that roster creates as much offense as Zach Werenski.

I truly hate threads like these haha
