Lots, the Wings aren't trading Mantha.

Edit: To be fair to the OP, I will give it a go.... Nurse + 1st.

 

[Toby Flenderson]

I don’t think Edmonton has the available pieces you’re looking for unless you would be ok with picks and prospects.

But it would seem stupid of the Red Wings to trade Mantha for picks and prospects and just set them back even further in the rebuild.

 

[mariolemieux66]

At least Broberg and a 1st.

Too much. No thanks

 

[780il]

Nurse 1 for 1 in the summer maybe

 

[DarthProbert]

Nurse is probably too old and not signed long enough for Detroit, but for cap reasons, he'd be in Edmonton's first offer. I'd do Broberg +, or if you're interested, Jones +++. I'd also inquire about adding Glendening; don't think he'd cost much extra.

 

[Isaak16]

I just don’t understand why anyone would want to trade Nurse. He’s the kind of player that ages extremely well. It’d take a lot for me to move him and Mantha is not that guy.

 

[lilidk]

Bouchard and first

 

[Jumptheshark]

Price would be too high

 

[Jumptheshark]

At least Broberg and a 1st.

I was thinking yamamoto and those pieces would be the wings ask

 

[LarKing]

Not moving Mantha. He’s the real deal and people will realize it once he stops getting himself injured in stupid ways.

Nurse and Mantha are the same age. Nurse is younger than Mantha by months. If they'd prefer to keep Mantha cause Nurse is too old, I'd say someone in Detroit has lost their f***in marbles.

 

[FameFlame069]

I don't think the Red Wings want to trade Mantha, him and Larkin are their top forwards and they need top line players over depth players, Edmonton wouldn't be able to afford his raise and he'd definitely get more i Edmonton than anywhere else

Edmonton needs a scoring winger. Anthony Mantha can score.
He also has size.

Mantha is not available.

You have Zach Kassian. He has size and can score.

You also have James Neal who has size and can score.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Bouchard & 1st?

 

[Meeqs]

Not moving Mantha. He’s the real deal and people will realize it once he stops getting himself injured in stupid ways.

With him already being 25 and the Redwings still with multiple rebuilding years ahead of them, do you think there is any situation where trading him isn't inevitable as they wont be in a position to get the most out of the rest of his prime? Where as the return could better speed up the rebuild with pieces that better align with the teams window?

 

[MBH]

Not moving Mantha. He’s the real deal and people will realize it once he stops getting himself injured in stupid ways.

Yeah, but he's a real deal who's 25 and we are 3-4 years from being any good.
So you're looking at 29-30 year old Mantha about the time we're ready to even contend for a playoff spot.

We can nibble around the edges and trade Athanasiou while his value is lowest.
Or you can be bold.
Drouin for Sergachev bold.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Yamamoto is damned near untouchable.

Wings would demand a lot, more than we’d pay.

A 29 year old player on a contending team? The horror! You'll only have another 3-4 seasons of solid play out of him! Better find some magic beans to trade him for, quick.

I assume you'll also want to dump Larkin? I mean, 27 is basically 29. Zadina should probably go to, at that point, since it'll be another 9 years until you have a C who's ready...

 

[McFlash97]

Yamamoto is already doing things Mantha has never done....Average a ppg ...and this basically his rookie season. Lets see what Yams ceiling is. Oilers just aren't going to flip him for a 45 to 50 point slow footed help for McDavid. Mantha is all wrong for Connor.

Hyperbole much?

 

[MBH]

Bouchard & 1st?

Broberg instead of Bouchard.
We're maxed out on RHD


Broberg for a first for Mantha. That would be a hard deal to pass up for Yzerman.

Broberg is more of a project, but has an extremely high ceiling.
5 years from now, your defense is
Seider 23
Broberg 23
Hronek 25
Cholowski 25
McIsaac 24
Lindstrom 25.

Up front you'd still have:
Larkin 28
Bertuzzi 29
Fabbri 28
Zadina 24
Veleno 24
Rasmussen 25
Berggren 24
plus maybe Mastrosimone and whoever else we draft in the next 3-4 years.

But five years from now, that defense is coming into its own.

 

[780il]

Bouchard and first

Bouchard & 1st?

Bouchard is completely off the table. Let alone the possibly of adding a 1st to him.

Unless your giving us a young top pair RHD Bouchard isn’t going anywhere.
