There's rumours about a possible trade for Corey Perry if the Ducks can't extend him. Just like Dallas did with Ryder (traded pending UFA, cause they were quite sure they can't extend him).
In the past, this possibility would never happen, if Detroit would be at Western Conference. But now, if we are moving to East, it opens a "trade route" between these two organizations.
I think Perry would love to join the Wings.
Low american taxes and Ontario behind the border. Still out from Canadian Media Hell. Perfect place to play hockey at a non-perfect team that could became perfect again with a big physical right-handed power-forward scorer. If you did enjoy the game with Getzlaf, you really don't know how much better it could be with Datsyuk.
I would put Filppula on the table, both are pending UFAs. Filppula would pretty probable re-sign to Ducks with that Finnish community there. Perry does the same with us. Win-win for both.
Then add something more. Really don't know what Anaheim's needs are. Defensive prospects after the loss of Schultz?
Franzen (6'3, left) - Zeta (5'11, left) - Brunner (5'11, right)
Nyquist (5'11, left) - Datsyuk (5'11, left) - Perry (6'3, right)
Man, it's just unbelieveable fit, if we could get a big PF to Datsyuk's other wing. Then Nyquist+Datsyuk -combo isn't so big problem being smallish, when there big and strong in-his-prime power forward with them.
