Wings trade Nyquist to SJ for 2019 2nd & 2020 Conditional 3rd

[ArGarBarGar]

Found this interesting

That seems like a major stretch.

I think if Nyqvist stays in SJ for a couple years, it'll show he's a much better player than his typical 40 point or so seasons would indicate.

Yeah I'm expecting 60pts a season avg from him there

 

[The Zermanator]

That seems like a major stretch.

Or maybe Kronwall and Nyquist selling Karlsson on Detroit for the offseason?

I think he averages 50 points if the Sharks sign him. San Jose is a much better team, and he should be able to take advantage of better matchups than if he were playing here.

That said, I don't believe he can sustain the level of play he had this year. Thus the 50 point guess.

Seems reasonable. I am expecting is more of the 50-60 range though - so maybe a bit higher than your projection.

That's really f***ing weird.

 

[SuperScript29]

I could completely see Nyquist staying with the Sharks. He's in his prime at 29 and they have a competing lineup. Specially if they find a way to resign EK.

I don't know, they are going to fall off a cliff I think, who knows better than us that time catches up with star players? I hope they win it this year, but I don't see them contending in 2-3 years.

people have been predicting their downfall for the past decade+ and yet here they are, still contending with a different core of players

 

[KJoe88]

Ugh

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

I don’t like it.

 

[Henkka]

Didn't know that Nyquist is a good friend of Erik Karlsson.

But they have under one year of age difference, so maybe they have played together on Swedish National Junior Teams or something.

I hope Nyquist will praise Detroit to be the best place ever to play hockey, not care about the city, and bring him over here as UFA.

If that’s the case then.. they both sign in Minnesota.

Yeah, but.... I mean....people predicted our downfall for pretty much 2 decades and eventually were correct.

 

[TheMule93]

ill be watching nyquist and the sharks until our game starts

they now have my favorite non-red wing in Burns and my 3rd favorite (former) red wing in Nyquist

 

[Vladdy84]

Daniels just said Nyquist won't be resigned in San Jose FWIW. We shall see.

 

[Marky9er]

Daniels just said Nyquist won't be resigned in San Jose FWIW. We shall see.

So.....EK and Gus ARE signing in Detroit!

 

[waltdetroit]

So.....EK and Gus ARE signing in Detroit!

Yes, conditional that Kronner is signed too

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Gus bringing EK65 with him back to Detroit this summer.

They’ve got Karlsson and Pavelski to re sign and a few rfas too. Unless they lose a chunk of salary elsewhere it’s doubtful

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Gus bringing EK65 with him back to Detroit this summer.

My buddy is a sharks fan and he was excited about Gus. All I said back was the wolf is in the hen house

 

[Dotter]

Looks like Nyquist is fitting in real nice over in San Jose. Just had a 2 goal game and putting up some points. Good for him. He is a better player than we had the pleasure of witnessing in Detroit.

He had one empty net goal and one assist in 6 games prior to last night. Seems a little premature to say if he's fitting in one way or another
