I think the Oil should pull out all stops to acquire Phaneuf
Do you really think a deadline rental like Green will net you a 2018 1st? That seems highly unlikely.
Wings fans last year: "Vanek will get us a 1st at least"
*gets a 3rd round pick and a guy off waivers at TDL*
I think at most Green will fetch a 2nd and a meh prospect which is pretty good.
Just one 2nd round pick(Detroit has two though)This is as bad as but Gaustad got a first logic....
Vanek was having a very good season. It turns out his past history hurt him on the market and the way the Wings heavily used him offensively caught up. On the flip side we were laughed at about what Brendan Smith was likely to cost with even most Wings posters underselling what he returned. It will really depend on the market.
Mike Green is a terrific offensive D-man that is better than he used to be defensively. I think things could heat up for him in a substantial way. I think the Oilers have two second round picks this year too in terms of if they were dealing with them correct?
Step forward, Adam McQuaid!
Just one 2nd round pick(Detroit has two though)
Shattenkirk only got a 1st(in a crap draft from the 1st team in the league) and some scraps. Shatty was younger, better, and had a lower cap hit than Green so I can't see him fetching the same at all.
I would go -
Drake Cagguila, Mark Fayne, 2018 2nd plus a conditional 2019 2nd if Green plays 50% of the first 2 rounds and the Oilers make the West finals in 2018
for
Mike Green and Riley Sheahan(shaves about 3.5m of salary off for Detroit)
