Tatar traded to Golden Knights for 2018 1st, 2019 2nd & 2021 3rd

I don't know about most people, but I for one didn't consider Tatar "a reason to watch." I'm actually more excited to see Bertuzzi get some more responsibility, and maybe a call up of someone from the Griffins. Tatar himself has been average to below average this year, imo. -

Holland overpays for pending UFAs because he has no leverage and he overvalues his own guys. Larkin, Mantua, and AA are all RFAs. He actually does well with contracts he controls. I wouldn't worry about those contracts. -

Didn’t realize this. Thanks for the info. Look like the Wings specifically asked for that NYI pick then. That's some strategic trading right there to be honest. Not gonna lie, I'm impressed. Vegas had 3 second round picks for next year. The Wings asked for the best one possible (NYI). The other one belonged to Vegas and third one to CBJ. That second round pick next year will likely end up being in the 30s. Basically a first low end first. -

I'd try to get Larkin locked up long term. I'd consider doing the same with Mantha as well, but I'd probably opt to sign Mantha and Athanasiou to bridge contracts or maybe something in between... Larkin - 6-8 years at around $5-6M. Mantha and Athanasiou - 4-6 years at $4-5M OR 2-3 years at $3-4M This is one area I have full confidence in Holland. I'm sure whatever he decides on these guys, it'll be reasonable contracts. I'd definitely prefer a longer contract for Larkin though. -

Not directed at Datsyukian Deke, but it seems some things (this being one of them) have to be repeated over and over and over again, and it still doesn't sink in with some people... -

Looks like everyone here is pretty happy about this trade, and the collective response I'm hearing from other fans of other teams is that this was one of the most, if not the most, lopsided trade of the deadline. That Vegas got fleeced. This is good. Now everyone say one nice thing about Holland -

Wings Interested In Resigning Green
Neomaxizoomdweebie and one other reacted to PavelValerievichDatsyuk for a post in a topic
I've been undecided, but I do want Green back. I do think we have too many vets for a rebuilding team, though, and I think we should clear a spot on the back end by the end of the next year for either Hronek or Hicketts. It's Kronwall last year next year, so it's really only a problem for next year. If Kronwall goes through injury woes the problem takes care of itself, but he's been pretty sturdy this year. Looking at our capfriendly page, for next year, Ericsson's NTC just means that he gets a 19 team no-trade list. And Daley's NTC just means that 10 days before the deadline, he can provide a 15 team no-trade list. So those could be options for trades if the young guys really look like they're ready and there's no injuries. -

one less reason to watch the wings. i wont be watching anymore this season. ill check in every now and then to see if any more prospects get called up to see how they did see you guys next season. Good Luck Everybody -
1 pointI'm stingy and I think Holland is too. And I think he can get this done. Larkin $4 million x 4 years AA and Mantha $3 million x 3 years.

Karlsson on the move?
LeftWinger reacted to The Datsyukian Deke for a post in a topic
The more time runs by, the more Melnyk can forget about anybody taking on Ryan. Even Arizona can't help, Karlsson can submit a 10-team no-trade list. -

No way Larkin signs for less than that ridiculous Abby deal. Hell, 3.5 would be even less than Helm makes. That's insulting. -

Karlsson on the move?
LeftWinger reacted to ChristopherReevesLegs for a post in a topic
I actually think he may take even less. Here me out. Green has been pretty upfront about wanting to be in Detroit with his family for the foreseeable future. That he loves it here. And the rumor throughout the deadline was he only approved two teams for trade (Washington and Tampa) and blocked a deal to Toronto. The man is clearly demonstrating that he wants to stay here. Try to get him in on one of those Detroit discounts we used to talk/joke about players taking to play here. 5 years at 3 million? 15 million evaluation to finish his career... not much different than say 4 mil for 3 years, then 2 more years at 1.5. Again a 15 year evaluation, but obviously you're committing to term in exchange for 1 mil in cap saving. Maybe he even takes less for that term and an NTC, who knows? -

1 pointLike has been mentioned, it's hard to believe Green couldn't have been traded for something under conditions of him playing x number of games in the regular season / playoffs. The return on Tatar was massive. I was expecting something in the ballpark of a 2nd and mid tier prospect, getting that 1st along with it was huge. I didn't like the Mrazek trade. I give him a generous C...

I agree, they didn't take away from their roster to acquire him, it just adds top 5 scoring depth to their team. Having a great coach in Gerry F. Gallant (Jack Adams hands down) Tatar is going to excel tremendously. Remember, Blashill is a horrible NHL coach and is process has failed most of the players. I wouldn't be surprised it Tatar gets near 30 total by time the year is over. They have 21 games left, if you count the Hat trick he is going to have on March 8th at LCA, he just may get close to 30 total! -
1 pointlike i said before...let me know when those picks can replace tatar. what are we going to get a late 20s pick whoopdee doo thats going to help the future good job

They're horrible at trades. When they're not trading away franchise players, they're overpaying for journeyman. It was. No. Lol. Move him to forward. -
