Options on the right

Team: 2023-24 Detroit Red Wings

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 8, 2023

Published: Apr. 8, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I’ve seen a few Pionk trades on here, can someone give me the lowdown on what he has to offer? What it would cost to get him?

Luke Schenn seems like a good 3rd pairing shutdown guy that would pair well with a rookie to allow them some freedom. Most comps I’ve seen for him are 1x$1 in Toronto so I figure a little extra to come to a rebuilding team, plus Tor AJMs are usually unrealistic in their player evaluations.

Other potential suitors for the right side:
in house: Wallinder (not ready), Chiarot (line killer), Tuomisto (prob not ready)
Trade: Myers (not great but could get an asset for taking him and he’s possibly better suited than Chiarot as a partner for the kids), EK (not a chance a trade that eats enough of his horrible cap hit is feasible), not sure who else would be available (do Calgary or Florida sell in the off-season?)
Free agents: Severson or Dumba (too expensive, reminiscent of the Mike Green experience)

Other signings.
Anderson to back up Husso: Husso needs a solid backup and I think Anderson will be available. Swap out any legit starter here that can be signed to a 1 year under $5 mil deal if you want (I just picked Anderson).

Killorn: Det needs to fill the hole lost with the Bert trade. Killorn can play up and down the lineup, is a proven playoff contributed, and is familiar with Yserman and Lalund. Not sure if we could get him on a 1 or 2 year deal but it’s a minimal risk signing IMO if so.
