Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted January 8, 2016 I wouldn't make that deal if I were Holland. Too many pieces going the other way that would seriously hurt the Wings' future depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,132 Report post Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Wow, that's an insane blockbuster deal..but lets analyze what we'd lose and if we had the means to replace them First off, I'd HATE to trade Sheahan, BUT, we would still have Helm and Glenny along with getting Drouin and having AA ready to come up. We lose Nyquist, but meh, we'd have Stamkos playing with Larkin, we'd still have Z and Tatar and Datsyuk along with Jurco. Marchy would be a tough loss, especially one of our RH'd d-men, but we do have XO, Sproul and Jensen who must either be traded or waived if they don't make the team. I think XO and Jensen are NHL ready, havn't seen much of Sproul. Mantha would be a tough pill to swallow, but again, we would have Stamkos for 8 more years, Drouin, Larkin, Tatar, Jurco, AA..maybe Holland still makes a play for Rychel as well. I think getting a player like Stamkos, with his 50 goal potential, and having players really ready to assume the role(s) of Nyquist and Sheahan and Marchenko, this would be a deal you just couldn't pass up. I don't know how much it helps us on the D, but if we are only losing Marchy, and we call up XO, I think that may be a wash. Plus it may move Helm out of the top 6 to where he belongs... What the heck would the lines look like with Stammer and Drouin? Drouin is a LW so he could slot anywhere... Larkin - Stamkos - Tatar Drouin - Z - Abdelkader Jurco - Dastyuk - Pulkkinen Miller - Glenny - Helm AA/Andy Dekeyser - Smith Kronwall - Green Ericsson - XO Jensen/Kindl I wonder if Stevie would be interested in Ericsson to pair up with Hedman? Also, I would NOT approve of Stammer wearing #91 though...give him 15 or 14. The players I'd hate to lose the most would be Sheahan and Marchy, but we do have players who can step up and fill their roles...

The Secret 304 Report post Posted January 8, 2016 Seems like one piece too much as originally stated but Nyquist + Sheahan + Marchenko + 1st for Stamkos + Droiun I would do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted January 8, 2016 I'd be iffy for the price The Secret mentions, but I would be sorely tempted. I would not want to give Mantha with all of that. As far as Smith, wasn't he suspended for a head shot his first preseason? How much impact did that have on him, as he seemed to be much more tentative of a hitter afterwards.
