Proposal: trade idea with nashville

[rhef3]

Long time reader, first time poster and a redwings fan out of st.louis


I've been reading so many lopsided trades lately it's starting to get me sick, but trying to find a decent trade is pretty tough.

so many variables to account for.

so i'll throw one out there on here first to "test the waters" so to speak, after scanning teams i think i may of found one, now i know detroit is wanting a top tier defensemen by offering a package of tatar/nyquist plus throw-in's like jurco and pulky

how about a trade with the preds involving nyquist for ryan ellis

former 1st round pick, relatively cheap, right handed shot, good IQ, hard shot, young (25) and i think he could be had for the right package and would help us out on the powerplay.

would they bite ?

after looking at that team i think nyquist could fit pretty well there.

or is ellis not enough of an upgrade ?

what do you think gents

After moving Jones I have a hard time seeing Nashville move any of their top 4 until some of their D prospects are ready to jump in to the league

Fowler would be easier

Ken Holland doesn't make meaningful roster trades.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

No. I don't care if Nashville does it. I don't.

yes i know fowler would be easier, i was just thinking of other possible options on top of the fowler trade. he may not be as pretty as an option sure, but i think he fits the bill on what it is we should be looking for.

The expansion draft says hello. Ellis is Nashville's 4th best defenseman.

 

[KJoe88]

No thanks.

 

[rhef3]

Exactly, i don't think nashville will protect him, obviously fowler would be plan A, but i believe ellis would be a nice plan B. I just don't see too many teams willing to give up a top 4 d man.

I would consider Ellis if the price is right. Face it, the market for good young available defensemen is really, really thin.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Probably be something like:

Tatar
Marchenko

For

Ellis
Draft pick, maybe a 3rd.

They don't need a RW like Nyquist. They need a LW.

Nashville will protect him. Poile has worked too hard to get this D on long term affordable contracts. They will give up Jarnkrok or Wilson before Ellis.
