We have 7 defenders on the roster as it is. Why would we need 8? In what way would that help us?

Thread: Detroit fans how far off is this trade

I'm not as wedded to keeping Ras as other Detroit fans are but I also think this isn't a trade that Yzerman would do. Ras is able to play centre and do so really well, he's a big part of our PK and is really good defensively and with shotblocking. Those are areas where Höglander isn't going to help us in any way. We are also not short of left shooting wingers. If you absolutely want Rasmussen then you'd have to give up someone like Lekkerimäki to get him (we'd take Beauvillier off your hands to make the money work).

Thread: Rebuild the team while you build the new dome

Detroit is not in need of more middle/bottom-6 players.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 26, 2023 at 6:41 a.m.

Thread: Full blown rebuild trading every valuable piece

Detroit is not going to trade for players over 30. The window of contention doesn't open for another 3-4 years yet and paying for players that won't be here then isn't going to happen.

Thread: Deadline Buy and Sell

To summarise:

Detroit giving up: Sprong, Perron, Fischer, Gostisbehere, and Fabbri.

Detroit gaining: Frost, Garland, 2nd in 2025, 3rd in 2025, a 5th, and a 6th.

Giving up a total of 5 NHL players to get two back that aren't even that exciting doesn't seem like a good deal to me.

The way Ghost is playing right now he should net more than a 3rd at the deadline.
Perron seems to be an OK deal and turning that 2nd into Frost looks OK too.
I'd much rather keep Fabbri and Sprong than trading them for Garland. Garland isn't going to be better than what we already have.

Thread: Leafs Win The Mug

Detroit would be happy to give you a 2nd for Liljegren next offseason but only if we can trade Petry for more than that.

Thread: Deadline Buyers

Detroit is not a buyer at the deadline.

Detroit's defensive lineup isn't going to be formalised until we have Edvinsson, Sandin Pellikka, Wallinder, and several more of our best prospects in place instead of the stopgaps that are populating our defensive lines now. Detroit is not going to be a contender until that happens and therefore will not be giving up prospects and picks to get players that will be long gone before our time to contend.

Thread: This team is scary

Detroit don't need Forsberg and don't want Joseph.

This is nothing but a cap dump from Ottawa and Detroit is not helping a division rival out without getting handsomely paid for doing so.

Thread: Big horses

Not a bad offer for Elmer but Detroit still declines. The upside with a player like Söderblom is too high to trade away.

Thread: CANUCKS NEED TO DO THIS

Detroit declines, not trading away picks and is not a buyer.

Thread: Beauvillier for Maatta

Detroit have no need to move Määttä after only just extending him and we have no need for Beauvillier and no roster spot for him.

Thread: deadline

Detroit is not retaining for four years and is not looking to get older.

Forum: Trade Machine ProposalsOct. 15, 2023 at 1:42 a.m.

Thread: Det - Van

Detroit is not going to trade two LD at the deadline and since Ghost is going to be traded that means Määttä won't. Garland is not needed on this team this year, only if both Perron and Sprong refuses to extend would Garland have a roster spot here.
