Confirmed Trade: [DET/CHI] Brendan Perlini for Alec Regula

[The Red Line]

Meh. Fine for both teams. I doubt Perlini becomes anything noteworthy, but would like to be surprised.

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Perlini will do well in Detroit. He needs consistent playing time and good center...Detroit can give him both.

Both? Our only good center is Larkin.

Maybe JDLR. Actually, now that I think of it, wouldn't surprise me if Helm gets bumped up into the middle 6, with Perlini taking Helms spot on the 4th line.

 

[Henkka]

Hawks saw Regula a lot in London when theu were watching Boqvist.

 

[MattySnipes]

Fan of Perlini. Got all the tools but hasn't really put it all together. Good gamble by Yzerman. Could be a player for Wings.

 

[Rebels57]

Why? This is a pretty nothing trade

Regula is a pretty damn solid D prospect having a very good start to his Draft +2. Not usually good to toss those away for reclamation projects with little chance of becoming an impact player.

Regula is at best a decent prospect, you are significantly overselling him. Perlini isn't great but he's at least made it to the NHL, something Regula is honestly unlikely to ever do.

 

[SI90]

DET must be high on Perlini. Regula is a really good prospect.

 

[Osprey]

Him an AA together. So much talent, so much speed, so much confusion on what to do with it.

Detroit just needs to trade for Adrian Kempe to complete the "talent + speed = confusion" line. Think of the possibilities!

Wings have a lot of right handed shooters with Seider, Kaski, Lindstrom, Tuomisto coming up. Made Regula expendable.

That line would score SO much. You can't defend against them if not even they know what they're going to do next.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Perlini never even managed to recapture his rookie year #s he got in AZ with us. Dude was white hot last season for 5 games getting something like 9 goals but then disappeared the rest of the season even when playing with DeBrincat and Strome for extended times

 

[Goalie guy]

Perlini replaces our top goal scorer on the 1st line, not likely at all.

Trash all ready said why he pulled Mo off the first line, he thinks he can drive his own line, so your thought there makes no sense at all.

 

[Drew311]

Love that we’ve had more trade action under last 5 months of Yzerman and last 5 years of Holland.

That’s because Holland relied on his European scouts to build a championship. He doesn’t actually know how to proactively build a team.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Perlini is a good fit for Detroit and vice versa. They can just plug him in and give him tons of ice time with very little expectations. I also like the defensive prospect that Chicago got, at least on paper.

 

[drw02]

Fine with this trade for wings. Regula might make NHL but he’ll never be more than a bottom pair D imo

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Even though our team is going to suck for the next few years the SY era has only just begun and it’s been exciting already

D+2 in the CHL...aka a 19-20 year old overager playing juniors, so even if he’s playing well and tearing it up, it’s really not that impressive or something you can project.

This kid probably has similar value to a mid round pick.

 

[Oddbob]

Trash all ready said why he pulled Mo off the first line, he thinks he can drive his own line, so your thought there makes no sense at all.

I didn't know Mo was pulled off the first line, and without that knowledge and us being a 1 line team, it makes perfect sense. I also doubt that Mantha can drive his own line, with the scrubs we have in our lineup.

Why do so many people run down the CHL as if it is some scrub league. Nothing wrong with being 20 and still in that league, it is a GREAT LEAGUE TO DEVELOP TALENT!

 

[Jumptheshark]

good trade for the hawks

 

[Go Wings]

I love these threads they make me laugh.

Regula is a really good prospect. No he isn't he is a decent prospect big difference.

Perlini could develop into another Mantha. No he couldn't, he "might" be a 20 goalie guy if he fits with Detroit.

This is a low risk medium reward for both teams.

 

[Ezekial]

What good center? Larkin is our only good center and I doubt Perlini comes anywhere near the first line.

As opposed to Darren Helm who is slotted there right now?

 

[Plub]

Chris Chelios is always inside us all.

Woah, speak yourself man!

 

[Hockeyfannnn91]

Trade makes no sense , perlini wont be long for detroit . Veleno,svechnikov,zadina,rasmussen competing for spots next year and possibly 1st rd pick. Regula is still 19 and we all know dmen take longer to develop and is a harder position to predict.

Everyone can talk about saarjarvi(who’ll never make it) and others like tuomisto and lindstrom etc... but we have no idea how those picks will turn out so giving up on a teen for a 23 yr old who was a healthy scratch all season and now on his 3rd team cause his buddy was larkin is dumb , add to that we have a bunch of kids fighting for spots next year , we should be trying to get rid of the deadweight not giving up prospects to add more fringe guys

I dont know what stevie’s thinking
