Because Yzerman wants to build a core and has been pretty clear he's not looking to quick fix things. Karlsson would instantly make this team better, but still not good enough to actually turn the corner.
What UFA should we really go after?

I can’t imagine trouba or any Michigan born kids getting a phone call from Steve yzerman on July 1 and saying no thank you
Trouba will be a redwing summer 2020 , let’s hope werenski becomes a ufa sooner rather than later and never signs that longterm deal
Werenski hronek
Trouba cholowski
Mcisaac lindstrom
2025 cup champs?

I really want Datsyuk but in different role as assistant coach. Someone who works with kids to improve their skating and stick handling

Karlsson or trouba. Thats it. No other offers besides for maybe a role player/depth. but stay clear and try and gain more picks/ play youngsters more minutes. May be a rough year again if this were to happen. Have to get guys with skill on the NHL level. I think itll be a slower build than in Tampa but could see Stevie take a run at Karlsson as a 1st pair dman which last check, wings dont have. Most the D we have is bottom 6.

I was just reading a report he is playing with a bad hip and as soon as the playoffs are over for him its right in for surgery. It would not go in depth on what is going on with his hip either.

Panarin... none of the other big names make sense at the term and cap number they'll command, in my opinion.

Panarin would be nice, but I think those guys (him and Bobrovsky) are already planning for Florida invasion. I mean those Russians. former Panarin teammate Dadonov is already there and they know how great Finn-Russian Barkov is.

Florida would be an awesome team if this happened, but it seems we say that every year. They've got to be good eventually, right?

UFA Defencemen targets:
-----------------
- Erik Karlsson
- Jake Gardiner
- Oliwer Kaski, 6'3 right defenceman (named best player in Finnish Liiga, 2013 draft class, 23-year-old)
UFA Forward targets:
-----------------
- Artemi Panarin
- Matt Duchene
- Kevin Hayes
- Gustav Nyquist
- Anders Lee
- Brock Nelson
- Nikita Gusev (best scorer in KHL, Vegas own his UFA rights, but trade for his rights)
These were my UFA targets on old discussion on March 21st.
And It's still the same list.

First bird in the pocket (Kaski).
Or maybe second, because Hirose kind of came from nowhere.

I vote Karlsson(long term contract) and Dastyuk(short term contract). I hope Kaski surprises everyone and makes the team. Skilled offensive defenceman with size is a priority need for Detroit.
If San Jose doesn't make the Stanley Cup Finals, it would be nice to see Nyquist resigned by them, so the pick we gained from them in the Nyquist trade gets upgraded to the 2nd round.

That would be even funnier trade if they reach the final, will lose, and Nyquist will join back to us...
Nyquist (to SJS) for Nyquist (back to DET) + 2nd + 2nd

Capfriendly shows Trouba as RFA after next year, but 19-20 will be his 7th season. Will he actually be a UFA?
Henkka
Registered User
Yes. Next season will be his last RFA year.
And they can't fit him on the cap anyhow after Connor+Laine will sign for combined 13-15 million.
I could smell Trouba for Bowey + incentives trade coming...

No thanks to Nyquist at any price. We had him, and he was largely non effective, except for this his big contract year. We don't need his 40 pts and no physicality at all.

He played well last year, even if the points weren't there. Signing any forward this summer is largely about money to me. I don't really like a guy like Skinner enough to want to see the Wings pay out the nose for him. Nyquist might be a lesser player but if the cap/term are notably better, I could get behind the move. Hoping we sign Karlsson and call it a summer, though.
I’d be worried if it was Holland,not anymore he’s as good as gone and I’d expect sj to resign him
