Hear me out... To Washington: Mantha To Detroit: Tom Wilson, Washington 2021 1st

On topic: 31 prospects; Red Wings Seider among top performers of 2020-21

I'm actually growing fond of Zadina. I don't think he's going to be a stud offensive player, but I'm really liking how he's committed himself to puck retrieval on the forecheck. I'd be thrilled if he modeled his game off Mark Stone. Or Tomas Tatar is probably the poor man's version. 20ish goals, 60ish points, but hellish defensively. I've got plenty of time for wingers like that. Incidentally that's the same type of player Raymond is supposed to be. I DON'T have time for guys like Mantha. 20ish goals, 50ish points, and does absolutely nothing else well. F*ck that guy.

Ganger is going to outscore Mantha.

maybe then they want us to also acquire a UFA contract to help clear some! or do some kind of 3-way deal where we take the contract and swing it for a pick somewhere else! (that way we can kind of guarantee they waive any NTC or NMC) But looking at the rosters, I see what you are saying.

And he can be signed after the expansion draft and still after he was dealt for a,pick , we’re rebuilding i dont get the reluctance of trading mediocre players? Hes what 34 now? If we trade him and he doesnt come back he doesnt come back , if he decides to test ufa at his age and go to a contender we’ll live get the asset first , we then deal with the aftermath

Filppula leaves via free agency. Replaced with Stephen Weiss. Weiss bought out. Brad Richards signed to replace Weiss. Sucked and then retired. Nielsen brought in to replace Richards. Nielsen goes downhill fast. Filppula brought back to help stop the decline. Circle of Life
