Speculation: Panarin to Detroit July 1st?

[Steve Yzerlland]

Big difference in price

And skill!

 

[lilidk]

He is not much better than Nyquist and will cost a lot more. Trying to trade Gus and and bring Panarin make no sense to me.

Wrong. He is A LOT better than Nyquist.

I don't care , we need elite defenseman and then do you think he should get paid like Larkin+AA. ?

I'm not saying we should sign Panarin. Earlier in the thread I specifically said the opposite. I'm just agreeing that he's definitely a better player than Nyquist.

Nope he's 10 times better then Goose, His numbers speak for themselves.

Exactly my point.

[Henkka]

If Nyquist and Panarin would be equal players, I would take Panarin just for handness reasons.

But Panarin is obviously better.

Getting Panarin, re-signing Howard, offer-sheeting Trouba, getting Pavel back and drafting a big center with Top5 pick at 2019 draft would be my dream summer.

Panarin is not much better than Nyquist?? What!? Panarin is a top 15-20 NHL forward. Nyquist is a consistent 40-50 point player. They aren't even on the same stratosphere.

Nyquist has played 200 games more and has one less point. I know for a fact some people on here only watch the red wings. Not wanting Panarin but dealing Mantha CAN'T HAPPEN

That's your dream summer? A 40 year old Datsyuk, most likely over paying Howard and offer sheeting Trouba to have to fork over draft picks?

My dream would be Drafting Hughes, signing Karlsson. Trading Howard and Nyquist for 1st picks. Signing Panarin and Bob. Then hiring Steve Yzerman.

 

[Henkka]

Add Panarin and trade for defence from the forward surplus.

That's the obvious plan if you add more offense.

 

[GMR]

Why would he come here again?

Because in Soviet Russia, they're the most popular NHL team.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Nope

Elite dman and centers only need apply..

what? good luck signing such a player anytime soon,

Ok then we continue to stockpile picks and draft them instead

Close thread

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

What’s a lot more fun to think about is Yzerman some how getting Point out of Tampa Bay and bringing him here. Also unlikely, but it’s a fun mental exercise.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

I hate to be that guy, but if he didn’t like living in Columbus or its night life, he’s not going to like living in Metro Detroit.

If he has any interest in Detroit, it’s likely for salary leverage. Kukla just wants clicks.

If were going to get our hopes up of one FA coming here, Karlsson and Duchene may at least give us legit (as in 5% chance) consideration

It’s OHIO! Detroit / Michigan isn’t OHIO.

Columbus is immeasurably nicer than Detroit, even in Detroit’s revived state. And save me the suburbs argument, every major city in America has nice suburbs.

The lake arguement doesn’t hold up when Panarin seems mainly interested in night life
