[George Binks]

This has pretty much already been agreed upon

I know it was mentioned in another thread on the main board. But just wanted to see if the majority of ANA HFBoards fans were on board. Or if it was only a small # of posters.

 

[BinCookin]

Anyone else?

I honestly don't watch Detroit enough to have an opinion on this. Wasn't the thought that Nyquist would be a better Western Conference type player though?

I was under the impression money as an issue:

Tatar 2.75 for 1 more year; Nyquist already at 4.75

Just to be clear both are about equal, and Red Wings fans are ok with losing either one for a much needed D man.

Fair value, but if an expansion's coming, I'd much prefer picks.

Is Larkin off limits? I'd consider adding a significant piece on top of Vatanen if he was a possibility.

Yeah you can add Fowler and Rakell and they would think about it.

 

[DuckJazz]

Tatar AND Pulkkinen? No brainer.

I don't think we should have that attitude going into deals. The oh there's a good player I want but expansions coming so I'm not going to get him. We're going to lose a good player regardless, if there's a good deal to be made we should just do it. Chances are it's Despres or Manson we lose next offseason, hypothetically acquiring Tatar and Pulkkinen won't affect that.

Agreed, especially considering we don't even know what the rules will be. If NTCs count, then we could easily keep/protect Tatar.
