You'll probably get some Boeser offers.
pretty crappy Detroit being the worst team in the NHL... not even drafting in the top 3 for crying out loud.
we offer you Thatcher Demko straight up.
For one of DET's 2nd round picks sure.
Jesus no... the kid is getting ready now and discovered his beast mode in the cup stint. We got Eddy to help protect the kids as well. That Suzuki/KK could be top 5 #1/#2 C line in the league in 2-3 years. These kids are not going aywhere.You're not getting the value you want, but for the sake of playing the game I'll offer Kotkaniemi.
Cause he's the best young ready center you can get with just a 1st round pick... it's not a project, he's a 60 point minimum guy with good wingers, what's not to like if you team is, hum, Detroit... We could even throw Tatar in as courtesy. I like both players but they're not the future here.Not sure why people keep thinking Detroit has any interest in Domi...

Well, always losing and staying in the bottom is sad and demoralizing. The good players will leave at UFA and no UFA will want to sign so it makes sense to at least offer some hope.
Domi had 72 last year and was on way for 50 on a season we gave up on in february and where Drouin was in a hard slump and Suzuki was sipping his ice time. Why i said he's a 60+ points C if he has good wingers (better than Armia/Byron/Tatar/Hurt Drouin eh...)
His 3 first years were 52p/81g, 38p/59g, 45/82g... with the coyotes and questionable wingers at age 20-21-23 or so. He now is a mature center at 25yo (not 35) and can certainly help a team struggling to perform since the departure of Datsuyk... I hurt for you guys, what a loss... I loved seeing him play even when we lost against the Wings
Well if i was in the perenial loser spot and I could get Domi (a PROVEN very good center, young but mature, maybe not Elite, okay) + 16th for 4th oa and that prevents me from sucking bad for at least the next 2 years (that is IF that 4th oa goes right. Remember Drouin, Galchenyuk, Puljujarvi, Yakupov, etc.. there are no guarantee that 4th would be Elite... ), then i would take it. That 4th is not Lafreniere eh...Good to know that the solution to get Detroit back to winning is trading their best chance at acquiring an elite talent for a 25 year old 2C who we already know is not elite.
Ask yourself if you would've traded the Kotkaniemi pick for Domi. Because you wouldn't, and you know it.

We do know what Domi brings and you still have a 1st rounder at 16.
Ah well... keeping 4th is good too, i respect that, the habs had nothing in the farm before Bergevin came in. For all who complain about him, we do have good future because he kept his picks.
we can offer you Markstroms rights for one of their 2nds.
For a 2nd, sure. Throw in Loui and I'll give you a 3rd instead. No retention needed.pretty crappy Detroit being the worst team in the NHL... not even drafting in the top 3 for crying out loud.

Domi isn't a C though, nice try.Jesus no... the kid is getting ready now and discovered his beast mode in the cup stint. We got Eddy to help protect the kids as well. That Suzuki/KK could be top 5 #1/#2 C line in the league in 2-3 years. These kids are not going aywhere.
Domi + 16th + Mete though... i mean, Domi can rack 60-70 points at C, imagine with good wingers...
Counter offer: Romanov and Caufield. You can keep 16 OA, Suzuki and KK and get a very good W at 4 and a good D at 16.Habs offer: Caufield, Poehling, 16 OA
Solid base but the Leafs would have to add, say this years first? Would rather do Nylander for 4th straight up if we are going for pie in the sky trades with the Leafs.4OV + Mantha for Marner.
no thanksFor a 2nd, sure. Throw in Loui and I'll give you a 3rd instead. No retention needed.

Honestly though, all of these trades don't really make sense. Detroit is not going to be good even with Marner, and Marner is going to be significantly older and more expensive than whoever is drafted at 4. I understand that Marner is way better than the likely outcome than the average 4th OA but he won't be enough to push us out of our misery. I'm pretty sure not even McDavid could, we are closer to an AHL team than an average NHL team at this point...
4OV + Mantha for Marner.
I get what your saying but in fairness Kot went 3rdGood to know that the solution to get Detroit back to winning is trading their best chance at acquiring an elite talent for a 25 year old 2C who we already know is not elite.
