You are definitely going to need an explanation with this one. Why would the Red Wings be selling RFAs for 2 contracts which are about to expire in the next few months?

Because sandin is the second coming of Jesus Christ himself.

You'd think that the way people here run around offer sheeting him for 4 mil aav.

Or leafs fans saying he has Norris upside😂

Every time I see a Leafs AGM I wonder who is either Kerfoot and/or Holl being traded to. In this one you managed to send them out all in one trade. Congrats.

DET isn't letting three young cap-friendly players for two rentals and one prospect. I get that Sandin is a solid prospect and while I'm sure DET would like to push for the playoffs, they're not in the hunt in a way that they need rentals.

Yzerman has been very consistent thus far and values investing in his young stock. I'm not saying he wouldn't trade those players. I'm sure he would, but it would have to make sense and this doesn't make sense.

every hockey player can walk on water

I think the correct answer to your question would be: They wouldn't.

Detroit says no 100%. Detroit trades a great prospect Lidnstrom who is and underrated d-man and Rasmussen. The only thing you have to put in that Explanation is that Detroit Says NO!
