[grewalwings]

As per Pierre McGuire, who mentioned it during the Wild vs Wings game. Contract ends after this season. Pierre mentioned AVS and Oilers as fits.

Guy had 1 point as of a week ago and doubled his season production tonight. I can’t imagine many playoff teams are interested in Daley. Maybe as a 7th D?

Oilers don't need any more dmen... Especially a left handed one.

Unless it's a #1d, we don't really have a spot for them or want to trade assets for them.

How the hell is he 36? That went by quick. He’s quietly Had a very respectable career. Over 1,000 games. That’s some good experience to add as depth for a playoff team. I can’t imagine the price is too high on him.

 

[serp]

I don't think Daley has much left in the tank and his contract is kind of pricey for a veteran #6/#7 . Even at 50% retained thats not a cheap contract. Can't see too much interest around the league but maybe i'm wrong.

Yah who the hell is going to take em on??? I mean I would even use the 7th D spot with someone else. Completely agree. If I’m going into the playoffs with a 6 or 7 slot available. I’m not jumping at Daley at the deadline.

 

[belair]

What does he do?

You’re not looking at the entire landscape with what’s available. I’ll take Brenden Dillon over this guy in a heartbeat as a playoff team, and I don’t even like him.

I don’t see how he even fits in on a 6 or 7 slot playoff team.

 

[CupofOil]

Oilers make no sense whatsoever. With Benning back, they have too many Dmen as is with decent bottom pairing options in Jones and Persson not making the top 6.
Everybody knows they need forward help and that they have too many bottom pairing D, except for Pierre McGuire apparently.

Well sure, but Dillon will cost much more imo. I wasn’t saying Daley should be a teams markey acquisition but if a team is looking for an insurance policy for the playoffs it’s not a bad idea to have a veteran defenseman like him to plug in on the bottom pair if needed.

I saw this title and I couldnt remember for the life of me what team he currently is on.

If it was like Daley and Helm for Russell and Gagner, maybe. But Russell wouldn't waive and I'm not sure Helm plays much center anymore.

McGuire's wrong. Makes no sense.

Shark fans are being delusional if they think he’s going to cost a second. Someone flip a high third? And that gets you Dillon. I’m still waiting to see a second going to Sharks for a 29 year old UFA in this good of a draft. Don’t worry I’ll wait till TDL, and we’ll see what he goes for.

Lots of better options than Daley imo

 

[Ishad]

No problem moving him for future considerations.

 

[Pens x]

5th round pick?

 

[TrufleShufle]

I would also like to go to a playoff team, if we are taking requests.

 

[Jacob]

If he's not even a regular on that Wings team he's probably not a regular on a playoff team but as a depth #7 or #8 you can probably do a lot worse. He has big game experience, brings leadership and can play the left or right side if needed. Probably not worth more than a late round pick though.

The game he played in the playoffs a couple years back when Letang was suspended for 1 game was one of the more impressive individual performances I can recall. Seems like a good guy, hope he finds a landing spot as this seems like it'll be his last year.

I wouldn't want Daley on my team at this point.

But that stat line is not his fault. Detroit is a wasteland.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

As much as I love Daley for all his years on the Stars I don’t think he’s the kind of guy teams are looking to bring in for a cup run at this point in his career. Hope I’m wrong and someone adds him as a 7th, but I hope it’s not my team.

 

[MalkinsPierogi]

I want him back on the pens just for nostalgia

 

[kilowatt]

For a 4th round pick, the Kings will act as a middleman and eat half his salary.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

If Schultz is traded for a top 6 forward I'd be interested in Daley, if DET retains half his cap hit.

 

[Flyer lurker]

I guess daley can get a 5th at 50% retention. Not exactly deal that will change playoff structure

 

[PG Canuck]

I saw this title and I couldnt remember for the life of me what team he currently is on.

Usually that means Detroit then.

Call up Brandon Manning.....


O wait not with Nurse and Khaira on the team, nevermind

What in the world are you on about?
