And how do you see this?Trading for Trouba at the draft.
It’s part of an unlikely scenario that involves sleepwalking and a 24-hour flower mart with a less-than-vigilant proprietor.And how do you see this?
And washing it down with some Lidstrom-approved refreshment:Getting a Coney dog.
And how do you see this?
Doubtful Hronek is dangled, maybe Cholo.Weird feeling. Especially depending on whom is available at 6. I don't think Trouba is resigning with the Jets and his pending UFA status in a year/ current RFA really gives him some say over where he goes. Wings might not have the best package but it really depends on where he is willing to sign long term. I think with the early exit the Jets could be looking for a change and to build for the future. I could see the 6th being dangled or one of Cholo/Hronek and something else. Perhaps they dangle that to another team for a piece they want.
I can't see Peg losing Trouba and Myers so if they are going to move him, I think it's at the draft.
Not getting the reference, but Glendening played HS football.We might as well, we already have one wide receiver.
FSD's likened AA to a wide receiver.Not getting the reference, but Glendening played HS football.
Just commenting on the Lions draft. Whatever Stevie does, it'll be better than the Lion;s draft. (Bar's set really low in Detroit)
If we strike out in the big names in FA (Karlsson, Panarin) I'd like to see Yzerman calling Toronto they are in cap hell and need room for Marner. I'd be willing to take Marleau off their hands for maybe a good prospect (Liljegren) + something.
Assuming a Trouba sign-and-trade, how would you guys feel about:
WPG: Trouba, Ehlers
DET: Hronek, Veleno, 6th OA
Thanks for the reply and appreciate the honesty! Happy to see The Captain back in DET and hope he has a big first summer for you guys.Too rich for me, but by no means an insulting offer. I just would respectfully pass on that.

To be fair I think an NHL team thinks on this for a long time. Fans overvalue young players a bit, just not sure how that fits with our window and it is a decent amount of salary added. If I knew we could cut some of the fat off our roster they could perhaps consider this.
The Wings have sort of embraced the rebuild at this point, this would mark a move towards serious playoff contention. If it came with other moves sure, but we are talking a few players being jettisoned from town, like Helm and DeKeyser. Probably one of Daley/Ericsson bought out or cleared through waivers. What would be happening if that kind of trade went down is an aggressive overhaul and I am sure people would compare it to when the Leafs went after Kessel and Phaneuf. The Wings still need to clear some cap this year and next. I disagree with those that don't think they can unload Nielsen at some point, his money actually owed is good for a budget team. While the Wings have money to play with this year and next, they are still clearing some off the books, so they need to be careful with what they do with it. While Ehlers and Trouba represent the kind of investments I am good with, they need more to justify that kind of shift from the methodical future build.
But the Wings get a lot better in that trade at the NHL level in a hurry. Ehlers fits the speed we have in this group, but you also just took the future center for these guys to play with. Athanasiou would have to stay a center and ideally you would have to clear enough cap to be in on Duchene or swing a trade for a Kadri type. It is just a lot of sliding pieces to abandon what is likely our #2 and #3 Cs of the future in the trade along with a top 4 d-man.

Again with this nonsense! Why would you give all these damn assets for a guy hitting UFA status next summer and is from MICHIGAN?!!!!Assuming a Trouba sign-and-trade, how would you guys feel about:
WPG: Trouba, Ehlers
DET: Hronek, Veleno, 6th OA
I prefer waiting and getting him for free. And if that's not possible (he resigns with Jets *unlikely* or he gets traded somewhere else and reups) we live with it and move on!Too rich for me, but by no means an insulting offer. I just would respectfully pass on that.

Did you watch the last 8 games? AA has found another level, the bigger question is if he can maintain it. Hirose looked good on the line, Glenny was actually OK, Helm sucked.If Ehlers was a center I would be thinking long and hard about this deal and more than likely say yes. But I agree, losing Veleno and #6 completely guts our future down the middle unless AA finds another level at the center position.
