Proposal: DET - CHI

[Kevin Musto]

Chicago receives:
-6th overall
-31st overall

Detroit receives:
-8th overall
-27th overall
-Anthony Duclair

Is this a deal that makes sense? Detroit only has to drop 2 spots, then their 31st bumps up 4 spots and they get to add Duclair.

How off is my valuation?

Seems fair

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Take out Duclair and you have a deal.

 

[Wyzer Plan]

Even with duclair Detroit passes.

Even with duclair Detroit passes.

So in your opinion the value is right, you're just not interested in the deal?

Take out Duclair.

In theory I would guess the cost of moving up from 8 to 6 would be that 27th pick all by itself(depending on who is there maybe you can argue 39th pick)

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Tempted but I think it's best off keeping the 6thOA and get that defensive depth we need

39 yes, 27 no.

it doesnt cost another 1st to move up from 8 to 6. both guys will be in the same tier (Tkachuk/Wahlstrom/Bouchard/Hughes/Dobson)

The 27th might as well be an early 2nd.

All that being said I remember Islanders traded 5th for 7th + 2nd in 2009 + 68th in 2008. They also traded 7th for 9th + 40th going by that standard you would have to figure the 6th pick would value somewhere in between

 

[Pavels Dog]

Don't think Duclair does anything for Detroit. We have plenty of forwards of a similar or higher caliber on the roster or in the pipeline. Moving down from 6th is also a hard sell at this point not knowing who will be available. If Bouchard/Dobson/Hughes are all there, I could see Wings being interested in sliding down 2 spots and still grab one of them. Change Duclair to a 3rd round pick and I think Detroit's more interested.

 

[Wyzer Plan]

Duclair doesn’t do anything for Detroit. Take out duclair and the Vegas pick and I think it’s close. Maybe add a third from Detroit.

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

Detroit passes big time. They are not trading down. They want the best chances they can have at Hughes.

 

[HisNoodliness]

I think Duclair shouldn't be super valuable to the Wings. We've got a lot of middle 6 wingers, and thats what we are best at finding in the middle rounds of the draft. It would be nice to move up a bit with our second pick, but I'd want more/different compensation than Duclair to drop. If Boqvist, Hughes, Bouchard and Dobson are all there at 6 and the Wings rate them equally, I guess I'd do it. But I'd prefer to just stay at 6 and take whoever we think is the best D there.

 

[eviohh26]

Wings need top end talent like no tomarrow.

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Change Duclair to a similarly valued D and I think Detroit thinks about it. As is, there's just no incentive for Wings to do this.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Pass we'll keep our #6 and draft the best D man available.

Like Oesterle or Gustafsson?

Choose someone better than Duclair, he seems like yet another 30-40 pt winger we have too many of already.

 

[Oddbob]

Take out Duclair and you have a deal.

Vancouver fans don't speak for Wings fans, and we wholeheartedly say NO! Take out Duclair and add.

Just trying to prevent biased opinions.

I think this trade does nothing in long run, but yes, for me Dobson/Boqvist > Hughes.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Detroit doesn't need 2nd and 3rd pairing D any more than they need 2nd and 3rd line wingers.

As one poster already said, Detroit needs top line guys.

 

[drw02]

Makes no sense for Detroit. Moving up two spots in the top 10 gonna cost more than Duclair. It'd be more like 6th + 67th for 8th + 27th

Detroit is interested in Bouchard, but if any of the top Dman in the draft were available at 8, I don't see why Detroit wouldn't do it. It would have to be a draft day trade though to see whats actually going on in the draft.
