Confirmed Trade: [DET/ARI] Coyotes trade Eric Comrie to Red Wings for Vili Saarijärvi

[RedMenace]

Detroit currently sitting with 24/23 roster size at capfriendly, I guess some paper move of a waiver-excempt player might already have happened. And then Pickard on waivers? When Arizona claimed Comrie, some of us actually thought they were planning on trading one of Kuemper or Raanta, and using Comrie as a backup.

Ericsson went to Grand Rapids today.

This has nothing to do with the Wings. This is solely a GR move.

comrie is in the nhl not the ahl. they wouldnt move a player to lose him on waiver..

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Value? Not even a little

He was stuck in a D logjam and has one point so far this year , he’s expendable

I think he’s talking about Comrie, not the other guy.

Looks like you’re correct

depth trade basically

Always liked Comrie, too bad he's now moving around a lot but hopefully he works out in GR

Makes no difference. One of Pickard/Comrie will see waivers soon enough.

Griffins need a capable backup ATM.

Ericsson was sent down.

Liked Saarijärvi as Finland 2016 U20 World Champion team. He was the 1st PP quarterback.

Never really panned out. Never got a main PP role at Grand Rapids. Hanging there as a 6th-7th defenceman. That's what has been hurting his point totals.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Saarijarvi had the potential of being a bottom pairing guy. Same with Regula.

Yzerman obviously feels those are a dime a dozen with the way he moves them.

So what's the problem?

 

[sxvnert]

Yzer has already identified the garbage he wants out and will get whatever he can in return. If 1 in 5/10 work out then its more than he had before.

Stevie Y continuing his job to make the wings great again

I’ll settle for relevant

 

[ThankGord]

Saarijärvi ain't good and our goalie depth is terrible, great deal.

 

[Mestaruus]

Young men. Both might still make it.

Change of scenery might be good for both.

 

[Vitto79]

May as well give Comrie a shot

Picard stinks and Howard a hurt ufa
