Speculation: Detroit mini fire sale

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

What's the plan with the RFA's and only Green coming off the books?

Well we've about $18.1 million with 14 players signed? If the cap say increases to $78 million plus Franzen's $4 million off on LTIR we should've around $25 million to resign our RFAs this summer. We assume Larkin gets a 7 or 8 year deal probably in the neighborhood of $6.5-$7 million per Mantha a 2 year bridge deal around $4.5 million more or less AA probably around $2.5 million for 2 years. Bertuzzi and Frk wont get much plus probably add one of Rasmussen, Cholowski or Hronek we should be fine. Wings GM Ken Holland did mention possibly adding as many a 2-5 new players on the team this year.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Rasmussen, Cholowski, Hronek maybe Pope, Hopefully they can't be any worse then what we've now.

Again. That was sarcasm, I agree with you.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

More than likely Adam Fox, if not maybe Oliver Kylington.

I'd definitely consider Adam Fox for AA, Isn't Fox outside of Valimaki considered one of the Flames top D prospect?

 

[NickH8]

Detroit is in worse shape than I thought

It's not too bad. We've got building block number 1 with Larkin and possibly building block number 2 with Mantha. We've got some decent d-prospects as well. The bad contracts will all be up by the time we're competitive and we they don't prevent us from re-signing Larkin and Mantha.
Take any team at the beginning of their rebuild and you can say they're in bad shape.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

More than likely Adam Fox, if not maybe Oliver Kylington.

Are there signing issues with Fox? I mean I would take either guy for Athanasiou in my opinion, but Fox intrigues me the most.

 

[NickH8]

What's the plan with the RFA's and only Green coming off the books?

Larkin: $6.5million
Mantha: $4.5million bridge
Athanasiou: $3million bridge or trade
Bertuzzi: $1.5million bridge
Frk: $1.25million bridge

All fits under the cap, especially if it goes up to $80mil as rumored.

 

[Chainshot]

Is there any contract the Wings are looking to move and could they convince any of their NTC/NMC's to move anywhere?

 

[Potty John]

Yeah he’s probably got the second most potential but Andersson is more of a shoe in for a solid top 4 d-man.

 

[Potty John]

Some people say there will, some people don’t. The guys a stud and flames fans hope he will sign but just to be safe he’s our best option to trade in that case.

If i were to venture a guess, I'd say that Detroit would probably be looking to move Nyquist and perhaps AA for the right price. Would love to deal Helm though i think he would be tough to move without retention. Maybe try and move Glendening. Holland really likes Dom Turgeon. Probably try and deal Ouellet and or perhaps Nick Jensen as well.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I'd love any one of the 3 for AA Fox, Andersson or Kylington. Any one of those 3 for AA would be considered a victory for Detroit.

Ottawa sends your Pitts 1st for AA.. baring it’s a 25+ pick

 

[CaptPantalones]

I would definitely trade the 32nd pick and one of baptiste or fasching for AA

Sold.

No thanks. 32nd is nice, the rest is nothing.

 

[rent free]

He's played some 3rd line C this past season, But honestly he's better as a winger then a center.

Would have been interested in him if he was good at center.

That is a deal I’m sure Det would do. Seems like they will take any draft pick they could get their hands on.

For Anthanasiou, it has to be a good draft pick.

Which this proposal is.

 

[razor ray]

I would think Howard is in play at well. Maybe if a contender has a goalie go down he becomes valuable with some retention.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Why does everyone want to trade AA now? I’d want the Hartman return at minimum to move him

 

[wingsfan17]

Do you mean the Wings add their second rounder to get rid of Nielsen’s contract? Dude has no value, would clear waivers with that contract.

 

[bellringer77]

Dube would work.

I don't mean to be sny but I will be... why do you talk like your the gm of every proposal?

 

[drw02]

Lol why are Wings fans trying to give away AA for a 2nd round pick? If that's all you can get you keep him and hope he increases his value as he matures and refines his game. They just traded a far less talented player in Tomas Tatar who makes 4X as much for a 1st, 2nd, 3rd. There is absolutely no chance they would settle for a 2nd round pick for AA right now.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Nielsen and AA is a firesale?

AA is RFA and Nielsen has negative value lol.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Larkin is probably the only one that doesn't get traded.
