If you could make a realistic trade who would you bring in?

[Gniwder]

Deceptive (clickbait) headline, but LeBrun mentions Ducks as potential fit/suitor.

Rumor: Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Anaheim Ducks - NHL Rumors - NHLTradeRumors.Me

Mentions Zegras for PLD. Or Drysdale or Perrault.


Is Raymond for PLD 1:1 too much to pay?

If the team was closer to the playoffs that trade would make sense. Given the defense, it's better to wait.

Pretty sure it's a Clickbait site, Not a legit site.

It is clickbait, as I alluded to. My question is: "Is Raymond for PLD" too much to pay?

Personally i wouldn't do Raymond for PLD, Though i'd love to have him on the team. just don't want to move Raymond this early.

I'm not entirely certain why you think CBJ would be interested in that. PLD is an established NHLer who is about 3 years old than Raymond, I think? He's a C who played a hell of a series this past playoffs and looked really really good all season. Raymond, as good as he projects, is a upper end wing if he hits. PLD is currently a top 6C with a solid argument made for him being a 1C. Raymond for PLD is not enough to pay.

Kinda what I thought too. I was hoping to not have it validated for our sake. I was trying to gauge the trade value hype of our #1F prospect. Seeing as how, the clickbait site listed Zegras, Drysdale etc.

 

[Hen Kolland]

Normally I like shitting on that source, but they aren’t the only ones reporting this rumor.



A CBJ writer for The Athletic has communicated the same. That the Wings are among the teams that are interested in Dubois.

As they absolutely should be. Price remains to be seen, but why would you not be interested in a player like that.

 

[KasperTheGrittyGhost]

Provided he’d be willing to sign an extension

to Wings: PLD

to CBJ our 2021 first (non lottery protected) and Veleno

This year’s draft doesn’t seem to have a superstar and center is bar none our weakest position organizational wise. Adding a young player of PLD’s caliber would put us farther ahead than an Owen Power at this point imo.

I view it as very likely that PLD will be better than Larkin going forward, if he isn’t already. For our sake the pick would have to be non lottery predicted so we still have a chance at Wright in 22

I’d do this in a heartbeat. Even add Rasmussen if CBJ pushed for it, then try to flip Cholowski for Roslovic.

Veleno
McIsaac

Yes.

PLD is likely going to be more impactful than anyone we might get in the top 5 in this draft.

Nooo. No. I wouldn’t.

2022 1st, then I consider.

I wouldn’t risk a crack at Wright, Lambert or Savoie.

 

[Hen Kolland]

Think ahead though. Adding Dubois, you add Seider, potentially Raymond, Veleno. You can hunt UFA defensemen. You are looking like a team ready to head the other direction, not a team bottoming out for lottery odds. You could commit the 21 pick to another high end defenseman prospect, and then you are full steam ahead towards playoff contention and the 22 pick has less importance.

not saying this is something I would do, but it’s not the most illogical proposition you could come up with.

I would still say that team isn’t making the playoffs in 2022. Even if we end up with the 13th best lottery odds, I would want a chance at a top 3 pick in 2022. I think it’s more valuable than having a shot at Beniers or Power.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

If we could add PLD it would help but it would not take us out of the bottom 5 on it's own

We still stink

No worries

No worries. But it would cement Detroit's top 6 centers.

Yeah, easily. Lots of stuff to work with outside of this years fist round draft pick. The other two prospects are easy throw in's. (IMO).

 

[19 for president]

I take a young established center over a pick every day. Maybe the wings can get a top 3 protection, but I would trade any pick/ prospect not named Seider.

Wings desperately need another young top line center and I don't see one in the system. We do have solid winger depth though, so I'd obviously prefer to deal that.

Call me Crazy but I would make sure there wasn’t a top 3 protection clause. This draft is fairly weak meanwhile 22 has Wright and that other Russian guy labeled as potential superstars

And Jiricek(sp?) the d-man from Slovakia was pretty dominant at the WJC being 17yo

Yeah I get that. I was throwing that out more for those that really didn't want to give up a top pick. Unless you have a Crosby/ McDavid at the top of the draft, I'd rather have an established player.

 

[Marky9er]

2022 pick is definitely off the table. I'd also be concerned that getting PLD is a shortcut to the middle of the pack and a threat of missing out in 2022, undermining the entire rebuild.

Cumulative effects of trading 2021 1st and rising in 2022 standings are likely a net loss in exchange for PLD, IMO. I say likely because it COULD go either way but I think NOT doing it is the safer bet to becoming a contender. I'll trust the Yzerplan but that's just my gut feeling. PLD is a bird in hand lol.

That Russian guy (Matvei Michkov) is 2023 eligible. The top names to look at for 2022 so far, Wright, Lambert, Savoie. I like these American guys too McGroarty, Nazar, Devine, and the other Jack Hughes.

 

[RabidBadger]

I'd do a prospect trade revolving around Svech and Jake Bean. I don't think either one figures in to the plans of their current teams and both could use a change of scenery.

Anyway, unless we drafting in the end of the first we don't trade our first rounder. Teams like Carolina , NY or Colorado can't do it , we should not
