Speculation: Red Wings will entertain trade offers for veterans, GM says

[viper0220]

"The Detroit Red Wings will be sellers before the 2019 NHL Trade Deadline on Feb. 25 at 3 p.m. ET. But they might not make dramatic changes.

They have six players who can become unrestricted free agents July 1: goalie Jimmy Howard; defensemen Niklas Kronwall, Nick Jensen and Luke Witkowski; and forwards Gustav Nyquist and Thomas Vanek."

vanek moved again

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Oilers could take a stab at Nyquist.

 

[BlueDream]

Well they'd be dumb not to.

 

[Rubi]

I'm sure that Nyquist is one of the players that the Flames are looking at.... but everything will of course depend on the asking price.

I'm sure that Nyquist is one of the players that the Flames are looking at.... but everything will of course depend on the asking price.

I think Holland will stand firm on atleast a 1st on that one.

 

[The Red Line]

Yeah pretty much exactly what I said in the other thread when everyone made a mountain out of an out-of-context quote claiming the Red Wings were finished with the rebuild.

Obviously they are going to try to make trades. Holland did very well last year at the deadline, hopefully he gets some good picks/prospects.

 

[Menzinger]

I guess they have a strong desire for an influx of mid to late round picks?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Well obviously

 

[Janks]

I'm sure that Nyquist is one of the players that the Flames are looking at.... but everything will of course depend on the asking price.

I agree. I think we look at Nyquist, and Kronwall. Depending on what Detroit wants back we might only grab 1 of them, with Kronwall being the likely one acquired to bolster our D.

 

[BHD]

Jensen would be an under the radar addition.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Jensen would be an under the radar addition.

Not sure how under the radar he is at this point. Playing 20 minutes a night of quality defense with great advanced stats and he is a beautiful skater. A lot of hockey minds have been praising Jensen this year.

 

[Hobnobs]

I agree. I think we look at Nyquist, and Kronwall. Depending on what Detroit wants back we might only grab 1 of them, with Kronwall being the likely one acquired to bolster our D.

Kronwall has told Holland he doesn't want to be traded and he has a m-ntc (ten team list of destinations). I'm guessing that would up the price a lot for Holland to be interested.

 

[19 for president]

For those interested I think the following would be available at the right price:

UFA: (Rentals that the Wings would look to probably resign)
Nyquist
Howard
Jensen
Vanek (probably not resigned)
Kronwall (may retire after season/ Holland would ask him for permission)

With Term:
Glendening (De La Rose/ Ehn make him expendable)
Daley
Ericsson

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Well, I would certainly hope he's at least exploring it. Sheesh

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Oilers could take a stab at Nyquist.

Why?

To squeak into a first round 6 game series loss?

 

[Ezekial]

I don't think we'll move Jensen unless Holland is blown away, he will be extended.

Nyquist has a NTC, but I think he might waive to keep his best season ever going. But, hey, he could also say "No, I'll take my current status to UFA and take that paycheck." Don't want to have a Tatar in Vegas like impact before going on the open market.

Howard is open for business, but goalie markets are trash

If Daley hadn't broken his ankle I would've seen him as a very viable candidate to be dealt with 1 year left on his deal.

Kronwall:

I agree. I think we look at Nyquist, and Kronwall. Depending on what Detroit wants back we might only grab 1 of them, with Kronwall being the likely one acquired to bolster our D.

You'll probably get a couple of these but Holland won't ask Kronwall to waive unless Kronwall approaches KH and requests it.


Sadly, I'm expecting nothing and hoping for something.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Holland already said he's not calling anybody on Kronwall and it'll really only happen if somebody blows his mind and Kronwall's willing to go.

Oilers could take a stab at Nyquist.

Why would Nyquist waive for Edmonton? Edmonton isn't making the playoffs with or without him.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I'm sure that Nyquist is one of the players that the Flames are looking at.... but everything will of course depend on the asking price.

The price would be Calgary's 2019 1st round pick nothing less.

 

[Rubi]

The price would be Calgary's 2019 1st round pick nothing less.

The Flames won't give up their 1st rnd pick for someone who will become a UFA on July 1, unless the player is a stud.

Fine then no Nyquist for the Flames, Give Duchene, Stone or Panarin a crack then.

Let McDavid pad his stats for a bigger contract.

I'd except less than a 1st.

2nd and Pospisil

Yep, forgot about his NM. My bad.
