yes, the Detroit Red Wings- far and away the worst team in hockey this season- are going to trade not only an unprecedented gigantic package of quality draft picks... for players who couldnt help the Rangers be a good team. But they’ll also include their best prospect as well.
Logic fail here again, bern..
called out for BS.
players of the ilk you describe would be like Brendan Smith.
Was he in there? No.
You again ignore, and I will not allow you to get away with, refusing to admit that as noted, value is fair.
The core has a former 9OA and a guy who upon redraft would go at least 7OA for Seider, a reach at 6OA.
All the others, we are looking at first or second plus value for 2nds, including some in the future, for guys now, players who are early to mid 20s. In one fell swoop Wings got a complete core to add to what they have on W.
If your vote is to build via draft, slow and steady and hope to get it all right, fine.
But don't misrepresent the facts.
How do you know it's a bern post? It has 17 different picks (Rangers get the higher ones) and normally the best prospect from the other team while giving 'expendable, but they're totally really good' NYR players.
Facetious.
Guys who are good are dealt b'c replacements emerge happens often.
Deangelo -- not part of this deal -- will be usurped by Nils L. Who will ultimately be the better player? Remains to be seen. But NY needs to move on ADA so they have $ in 3 yrs when needed. Can move on now or later, but move on they will.
Again, value legit for all guys tendered in deal.
Also, are there guys from the NYR who need new contracts/nice raises, and/or players who need protection in the expansion draft (with none of these to go back to NYR in the offers)
Does it include somewhere a remark about “market price”? If so, we may be on to something...
Talk about having your cake and eating it too.
What unmitigated greed.
DET admits that it needs to add seriously to a threadbare roster.
This does it, without snookering any 30/ish guys not long term part of a build.
As explained. When you acquire talent, you have to pay for it, pay to keep it.
What these guys will earn will be market, adjusted for the fact it is a covid depressing economy driving their numbers down, something of which Wings should take advantage. Also, these are guys still on elc or rfa.
And you complain about paying their salaries?
Hypocrisy, man, H.
