Thread: Buyer and Seller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

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.

Thread: Meier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caboose119z</b></div><div>Kasper for sure. Rasmussen is a beast on the wing and just ok at center. Our goalie prospects are butt cheeks other than Cossa. I don't think they have the value needed to beat CAR and NJ.</div></div>

Couldn't this be an option as well? One of Johansson/Wallinder/Mazur+ a 1st + Zadina + a goalie prospect (if they are interested in any other than Cossa lol). If they have to though they can be more aggressive and offer Rasmussen+ a 2024 1st + Zadina. I think that can be very competitive. Teams aren't necessarily trying to give up their best prospects, so they can probably outbid even NJ unless they go all in, but at least they tried. Carolina will definitely be conservative with their offer, it will have to make sense and depends on getting more information such as extension #'s.
