Wings pass on everything

None of those trades are good for Detroit.
No incentive to trade Vrana save retain for a third. Rather see him try to return to form. Don't know what's up with him though.
A first I'm 2024 isn't a great return for bertuzzi, that player drafted is like 4 years from making an impact on this team.
Waaaay too much to give up for Meier. Half that package should be the max for us to send them.

DET receives
Meier (Elite Top 3 Winger)
SJS receives
Berggren (Fantastic Top 6 Winger - following Zetterberg's trajectory)
Kubalik (Fair bottom 6 Winger - PP2 Specialist)
Mazur (Projected Middle 6 Winger - Good Potential)
Wallinder (Projected Top 4 Defensemen - Great Potential and has looked fantastic as Rogle's #1)
1st (The latest pick Yzerman has ever traded was a 23rd and it was to move up to 15th)

Red Wings pass.

Now that’s a Meier trade I can get behind. You could take out Kubalik and mazur and it would still do it for sure

It might be best to just cut ties with Vrana and bet on Puljujarvi's upside. That being said Detroit might not be the best fit for him.

Getting a player that makes an impact in 4 years from now would be a good thing, since right now they are getting Meier and they have all the young guys on the roster now and who will make it next year to pay. Deep prospect pool, 100% worth getting an impact player like Meier. Detroit is in the Atlantic division, it's not going to get easier any time soon. It all should be dependent on how much Meier extends for though anything more than 8.5m should be passed on.

Just need to adjust the Meier trade a little as well. For starters trading Kubalik might not make a lot of sense. Might as well keep him and find Vrana a different home.
