Wings are only 3 Games back from Third place , They are starting to turn their season around and i know the wings hate missing the playoffs. I think they would rather keep the better player in the deal and push for a post season. They are allready pretty close to a wild card spot as well.

It's not a bad proposal maybe if the first was 100% guaranteed , it would be better .

On another note hopefully Spooner can turn it around for the oilers, He's a much better player than how hes been producing for them.

No Spooner please! Seems like his chance to be anything more than depth has come and gone.

How about Nyquist (50% retained) for a Conditional 2019 1st (Oilers make the 2nd round, otherwise becomes 2nd), and a 2019 2nd (switches to 2020, if the first pick in this trade becomes 2nd rnd pick)?

Slightly OT - I would trade him now, if I was GM of the Wings, as he is red hot right now, and could really cool off by the deadline. While I would want to make the playoffs, the potential for a 1st round + is way to much to give up on. We could also still make without him, however reality is we miss by a lot in both cases.

I'd d that, but it wouldn't work capwise.

Even at 50%? Yeah, that would make it tough, as there aren't a lot of players the Wings would want or need, in the dollar for dollar category.

Yeah, there's no way the Red Wings are making the playoffs.

 

[GOiler36]

I like the trade,it's good for both teams.

 

[thadd]

So if we make the playoffs and resign him, Edmonton is giving up Spooner, Bear, a first and a second?
LOLOL That's funny, you fuddy-duddy.

 

[Mister Ed]

Yeah, there's no way the Red Wings are making the playoffs.

20.5% chance of making the playoffs, actually.

I'd prefer them to not make the the playoffs, we don't need another 1 & done embarrassment just to appease the clueless one in Ken Holland into thinking the team is going anywhere.

1st or a 2nd straight up for Nyquist, and I'm good.

I'd give up an unprotected 1st for him if you take Lucic

I agree to disagree here. The core group of young guns (Larkin, Athanasiou, Cholowski, Bertuzzi) has played a grand total of 10 playoffs games, getting them some kind of experience would fairly outweigh the option of tanking or not making it for the sake of a pick that maybe pans out or not.

Edit : There's more of a chance that Detroit doesn't get Hughes anyways, the draft is a crapshoot.

 

[780il]

Overpay, no thanks.

 

[Skippy73]

I would do it from a Detroit perspective, seems like a bit of an overpayment from edm tbh

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Unless Spooner has some ridiculously bad contract I don’t know about, I don’t see a way Detroit passes something like this up.

Agree with this mindset, except I would be disappointed if we only got a 2nd. I know Vegas overpaid last year, but Nyquist is a superior player than Tatar was last season.
If we take a second, I expect at LEAST an additional third, even if it’s a few years down the road.

This scenario is also why i am very happy Tatar is having a good season. If Vegas was his last note, the reputation of a similar player from the same team may take a hit

 

[LarKing]

I'd take this because I think the Oilers make the playoffs with the addition of Nyquist. Quality offer OP.

 

[KasperTheGrittyGhost]

I think Nyquist is a guaranteed 60-70pt player next to McDavid.

Really like this deal for both teams.

 

[Taluss]

Not a bad offer, HF has done pretty well with offers recently. I think it leans slightly in the Oilers favour but rarely are trades perfectly balanced

 

[bellringer77]

yes from my point of view

 

[Canovin]

Way too much for Nyquist

I'd be fine with an additional 3rd as well, no problem there.

Guys like Nyquist & Tatar to me were always players that never seemed to either step up or show up when it truly mattered, which is why I always joked that Nyquist tends to always score when the team is already down 4-0 or along those lines, not to mention the 8 career playoff points in 35 games. At this point, get the best you can for him and keep it simple, indeed.

I'd give up an unprotected 1st for him if you take Lucic

That would be a terrible deal would not move a first for him. Only type of player I move first plus is Stone signed to extension

You wouldn't move a 1st plus Lucic?

 

[drw02]

Not sure why people are saying it's overpayment. Spooner is basically a dump, Wings don't want him but take him for cap purposes. A late 1st (if Oilers make playoffs) + a B prospect + a CONDITIONAL 2nd on him resigning is not overpayment at all, that's the going rate for top guys available at the TDL

Something seems off here.
