Speculation: NHL teams being told Detroit ready to deal

[SirloinUB]

Word is Chiarelli Is looking for speed and scoring in a hockey trade. I'm hoping we can pry Kelfbom out of Edmonton with Tatar/Nyquist.

Maybe something like Tatar/Nyquist + Ouellet/Jensen for Klefbom ?

Why?

Then we would have the slow player

Maybe he shoudn't have traded Hall?

The Red Wings need draft picks. Not under performing roster players. They have plenty of those already.

We can buy low on a dman with upside and a solid contract. I think Klefbom is a quality Dman with a hell of a shot. I see it as an opportunity to upgrade our D with assets that aren't part of our long term plan.

Moreover, I believe he can be a long term option with the next wave of D prospects coming up. A group consisting of Klefbom, Cholowski, Hronek, has good potential. especially with vets like Ericsson, DDK, and Daley eating some of the more difficult minutes.

From The Athletic mailbag:

"It wasn’t all that long ago that Mike Green was the best defenseman you could pick up at the deadline. Things have changed pretty dramatically on that front."

So again, nearly 4 weeks for the Wings indicating they were ready to start dealing and no trade. There's more supply now which will likely tamp down demand.

Tick tock, Kenny.

Yep. Get ready for a 2nd round pick and a nothing prospect or AHL guy.

Yeah, if we can grab Klefbom affordably, I'd be all over it. He's had a rough year, but that's why he could be had - much like Faulk was rumored to be on the trade block a few weeks ago.

Something that keeps popping into my head, though. All of these teams looking for speed, always looking for a guy who skates faster...why aren't they looking for players who pass better? Honest question. Is it a quality of ice thing where ice is so bad throughout the league that they don't trust that to be a real option every night? Or is it just easier to find a guy who skates really well than one who passes really well?

CBJ fan here.

I posted a Detroit trade proposal on the main trade board.. my first trade proposal ever in the 4.5 years of being on here lol. Let me know what you guys think.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Brassard to Pittsburgh for a 1st and some other small pieces. It begins?

I think it's a fair deal but I just don't think it fits our needs.

I'm not super familiar with Milano so please correct me if I'm wrong, but his ceiling is probably around what Nyquist is now? Maybe a bit higher?

We don't have many trade chips these days and we need them to address our bigger gaps honestly, which is anything but middle six wingers.

A good move for Pittsburgh, hopefully this will start the arm's race and other teams will get desperate to keep up.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Hopefully Tampa or Washington overpay for Green now!!!

Pittsburgh loading up at center. Not so strong at D. Yet they pick up another center.

Problem is Karlsson and McDonough.
If Tampa/Washington go huge, who's still bidding on Green?

We shall find out. ought to be a pretty eventful deadline

Could they go huge without trading away some key players of the roster? Green's a way cheaper, still good option.

Mike Green @ $3 million to Tampa for their 2018 1st round pick or Callan Foote, Would be my dream scenario. Probably don't get either knowing Holland though.

I could see Green @ $3 million fetching a 1st but I doubt they want to give up Foote

Agree i'm fine with Tampa's 2018 1st round pick, Considering it could give us 3 picks including Ottawa's and Detroit's 2nd round picks all within a range of 6 players if Tampa wins the cup.

I do think that losing Hainsey is going to hurt them come playoff time. They will have a healthy Letang most likely, but Hainsey was such a solid anchor back there for them during last year's run. I am curious as to whether they will try to add some depth on the back end.

 

[Spitfire11]

Klefbom is butter soft with a 7!!!! year extension. That's one heck of a risk to take on, let alone give up assets for. I mean, add that to Dekeyser's contract and instead you could have signed a superstar player. It's an awful idea imho.

 

[BinCookin]

With Karlsson and McDonagh on the Market... we better start preparing for a really crappy return on Green

At least Green is still the best rental option on D. That counts for something... Right?

 

[Spitfire11]

I'll be pissed if the Canucks manage a better return for Vanek than a 3rd

right? He was younger and better for us

Karlsson is going to take a lot. That shouldn’t hurt Green.
