I hope not. Won't do us much good now, that trade needed to be made a couple weeks ago.
Maybe in the offseason, but not now.
Confirmed with Link: [DAL/DET] Erik Cole + 3rd for Mattias Backman + Mattias Janmark + 2nd

The Wings have had very good success with prospects graduating to the NHL recently, plus finding a couple guys that were never drafted in Dekeyser and Glendening. I think they don't mind parting with some of these guys because there's no way they can crack the Wings roster any time soon. Jarnkrok being dealt last year at the deadline was probably similar issue.

Chiasson + Cole + 3rd for Spezza, basically.
That's a great deal for us no matter how you spin it.

People seem pretty high on both of them, so I hope Nill, with his insight into Detroit's farm system, made a good deal here.

I was surprised and honestly a little disappointed that Wings dealt Janmark. He has developed well and is on a steady trajectory. He's the prospect I'm most excited about among Frölunda players and there's plenty of draft picks in that organisation; Erik Gustavsson and Andreas Jonson being the most talked about. Keep an eye on him come SHL playoffs. He's very gifted.
As a side note; John Klingberg and Erik Karlsson also developed in Frölunda before leaving for NA.

Went to the Wings board, and they seem happy with Cole, hustle, speed, hits, 3 assists and a bunch of near goals, but no actual goals yet.
sounds like he is playing just the same way he played for us, still trying to earn that next contract. No word on whether there would be any interest from the Wings. I think someone will sign him next year, probably with an offer of one year, him holding out for two, a la Ray Whitney.

There is a lot of good GIF's of Janmark and probably some of Backman here.

How has he looked so far? Will have to keep an eye on him on opening night (Pens play in Dallas). Hopefully my center ice is working.
Look, you can pull that card all you wish. Nobody had him penciled in the Stars lineup or even venturing across the pond until next season.
But.... you (apparently) did! We all bow to you, prophet.
It was obvious judging from his performance in Frölunda last season that he had a very good chance of making it. I base that solely on his performance and have little if any knowledge of other prospects in Dallas and who was next in line.
I'm not the right person to write you a scouting report but I can tell you that he is a difference maker. Arguably one of the best players in Frölunda in the regular season and in the SHL playoffs he elevated his play and would blow me away at times. Was thoroughly impressed by how smart he was and how he would find his way infront of the net. I've seen him drive to the net and create scoring chances from nowhere but I don't consider him a flashy player. Main strengths are his passing ability and his wrister. Just a smart and skilled player who does not shy away from dirty areas. This is just from memory, I haven't seen him play since last season, so take it for what it is.How has he looked so far?

This is how TDL trades are supposed to work out...the non playoff team gets a younger roster player who can contribute soon. I was sorry that Cole played a few good games for DET and then got hurt. Would have made the trade perfect had he helped them to round 2 or 3.
I presumed Nil knew exactly what he was getting. How far away, if at all, is the other Matty obtained in this trade?
It also appears to me this is sort of a Ryan Garbutt upgrade, vis a vis speed and offensive skill. Not to mention hockey sense, of which RG had little. I doubt he will be much of an agitator, though.

I.. am ... GOD!
I don't think he could have made a much better introduction for himself. Janmark could very well be a nice surprise for many. Happy for him.
Fixed. I think Nill understands hockey talent, no?
I will say that I am so negative sometimes that the first words I thought of as he scored were "Fabian Brunnstrom."
