The fact these proposals aren't getting deleted immediately is an embarassment

Red Wings > #1, Larkin, Nielsen, Abdelkader
Red Wings < #38, Eichel, Mittelstadt

Canucks > Horvat, Boeser, Miller
Canucks < #1, #7, Cozens, Nielsen, Abdelkader, Okposo

Sabres > #7, #38, Eichel, Cozens, Mittelstadt, Okposo
Sabres < Larkin, Horvat, Boeser, Miller


Detroit get a franchise center to build around while also dumping Nielsen and Abdelkader

Vancouver pair Lafrieniere with Pettersson, add Cozens to be their 2C of the future, while also picking up the #7 pick

Buffalo come away with arguably the best top 6 in the league while also dumping Okposo's contract


EDIT: Added Abdelkader going to Vancouver, and Mitteldstadt going to Detroit to balance things out

Buffalo is not trading quality for quantity even if it is higher end players. Zero chance. We're going to just let Okposo play it out too -- look at our cap room and what's available in UFA market. There's nothing.

I can't see many free-agents choosing Buffalo unless they're being overpaid

I don't think that's the best course of action

The Wings don't need to dump Neilsen and Abdelkader because they're not going to be competing just because they made this deal, including them in this deal doesn't really do us the favor you might think it is.

There's not enough out there in free agency to make a team this bad a playoff team right away, and who would want to come here during this offseason anyways. It would just free up some money to make another bad Neilsen-esque deal.
