Pretty good return for Ottawa. If they end up with two 1st rounders for Duchene, that would soften the blow of what it took to get him in the first place. Especially if the balls knock them out of the top 3. Duchene better not talk s*** about Torts in some Columbus Uber. Because Tortorella doesn't play

The Leafs thing is fake news, unfortunately. That's why I deleted it. Fake NHL Trade Rumors Twitter got me. They got me real good. I've always liked Bowey. Bowey + a 2nd? I am more than ok with this!

For Madison Bowey and a 2020 2nd... Wow Kenny!!!

That's what I said! Meh. Depends on what some other GM wants to place, as a pure gift, on Holland's doorstep while he golfs. That's how it goes right?

My buddy is saying deal is in place with Winnepeg. Nyquist + Jensen For 2019 1st and 2020 2nd Just waiting on Winnepeg.

None. Babcock isn't the answer. He's like Phil Jackson. Great coach if he's got the best team in the league. The Wings need Blashill because he is good with developing players. The problem is the older players locked into the most horrible contracts. That's what Stevie needs to fix.

HYPE! LGRW!

Remember bowey being a good prospect hopefully he turns it around here , so now we need to get rid of a daley right? Need to make room for hronek cholowski bowey next season

This Duchene trade looks like it could be great news for Detroit. It looks like two of the big forward names (Duchene and Panarin) are off the board, raising Nyquist's trade value. And Bobrovski may be staying put now as well, leaving Howard as the only real viable trade option in goal. Why sigh? That's great news. Another forward off the board. I hope Hayes gets moved next.

Seems to be the case:

I'd love to see Columbus single-handedly crush the market. DON'T trade Bob or Panarin and add Duchene. This would open up a lot of doors for Holland on Monday.

I do think dependable veterans are good to have around in a rebuild. I just don't want to give this one the contract he's likely seeking.

I think you're reaching a bit here. Right now we're trying to get a new core together. Once we complete that task (which, if we're being honest, probably happens at least two or three years from now, not in September of 2019), we can think about contending. Once we're thinking about contending, Nyquist has likely aged out of relevance and we can justify paying for someone who's better than Nyquist because we'll be looking to win a Cup and that's what contending teams do -- they give up futures for immediate gain.

Great minds...... Must be that Atlantic Canadian air.

Yes, we know Zadina is getting 9 games at some point down the stretch, I just want to know WHEN??? I'll be at two games in two weeks time. Please have him in the lineup for those games... Please?...

Yup. The only "news" is when, after the deadline, is it going to happen and will they keep him under the 10 games?

If I am Holland, I remind Nyquist how generous his last contract is and how he didnt really live up to it until this year. And you want to sign him to a shorter deal to prove this year wasnt a fluke. And remind him how loyal and how well you pay veterans when the contract is up. Maybe you get a more reasonable deal. IT HAS BEGUN. What? Idk. I just wanna be the first to say it.

We already knew this, but... Wings will call up Zadina after NHL trade deadline [Detroit Free Press]

Khan on trading Nyquist "The Red Wings have three young forwards up for contracts in 2021 (Anthony Mantha, Andreas Athanasiou, Tyler Bertuzzi) and need to make room for a few more in the next couple of seasons (Filip Zadina, Evgeny Svechnikov, Joe Veleno). They're not likely to have the roster spot or money to keep Nyquist."

Holding out hope that the quiet week on the trade front leads to a very exciting Monday

I agree. We need to make room for our young stud Zadina...

Definite pass... this team needs to move on from that kind of wasteful spending. Year 1 and 2 of that deal are reasonable, year 3 is questionable years 4-6 are criminal.

This is what happens to you when you disrespect Trump. Lesson learned.
