Possible trade and roster fixes for the Wings, Part III

[Henkka]

Getting Byfuglien would be pretty amazing. He has a great cap hit for two more years, and can produce on the scoreboard.

Our Power-Play would look pretty different with Big Buff on the point.

We sure Babcock wouldn't stick him in front of the net? He loves "netfront presence" and Buff was actually decent at it on other teams.

Yeah, we have those net-front guys, but lack a pointmen.

------------------------- GOALIE ----------- Datsyuk (L)
------------------------- Franzen -------------------------
--- Alfredsson (R) ----------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------- Zetterberg (L)(Nyquist before Z is healthy)
----------------------- Byfuglien (R) ---------------------

Just want to see something like this some day.

Which is good, but it's still a position of less need and less value. If he is a permanent convert to wing, and keeps scoring, he frees us up to make a trade but we still need some guys to develop up the middle.

Not trying to sound overly harsh on the guy, or to rag on him, but I'd much rather have him excelling as a center - especially with his tools.

I understand your point. I thought he was trying out for center this year, but he is so much better on the wing. I'd love a ctr with Helmer speed that could move the netting

 

[waltdetroit]

We should call him the preist with his Holy slapper smiting goalies

I like this...Priest in Finnish is Pappi

Would Kesler really cost Nyquist/Tatar+Jurco/Sheahan+Mantha+2014 1st that St.James is specualting in? mind blowing and not worth it at all.

Absolutely not I would only give up that if it was netting me something like Weber.

Not a chance. Probably not even 2 out of that group.

no, not one single player in the history of the game has cost that much via a trade

she is as bad as hf board posters who choose to ignore history

Eric Lindros.

 

[GBFP]

Ehrhoff makes the most sense for Detroit to target given his contract at $4M is a deal, and the length could only end up burning Buffalo under the new CBA. He has the limited no-trade, a list of 8 teams he cannot be traded to, so if we're not on that than we have a little better shot as well with 8 less teams to be bidding against.

Tater, Kindl and a protected 2015 and beyond first?

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

What is this Mantha + 1st for Byfuglien non-sense I've seen?

I wouldn't trade that for Kesler or Edler let alone Buff.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

I wanted Ehrhoff when he hit FA, and i still would not mind picking him up. The recapture penalty would only apply to Buffalo, which makes his contract very appealing.

An AHL player and a 1st which most likely will turn into a fringe NHL player is not worth a pretty good NHL player?

Mantha is not in the AHL yet.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Eric Lindros.

he wasnt in the game(yet)

 

[mindfly]

You just can't trade Mantha yet, you have to see him in the AHL first / or his first few games in the NHL is he's so good that he starts in the NHL right away, just too much potential to trade, for a forseeable future.

 

[SoupNazi]

he wasnt in the game(yet)

Then I guess I'm not sure what "in the game" means to you considering he had already been drafted by the Nordiques when he was traded for six players, two picks and $15 million.
