DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted April 14, 2017 I'm going to assume Vegas takes XO in the expansion draft looking for youth and cheap Tatar-Larkin-Mantha Nyquist-Zetterberg-AA Svechnikov-Nielsen-Vanek type UFA Abdelkader-Helm-Glendening Callahan/Nosek-Sheahan Dekeyser-Russo Kronwall-Green Ericsson-Sproul Jensen Howard and Mrazek in net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted April 14, 2017 Zetterberg - #1 center - Mantha Tatar - #2 center - Larkin Russian guy I know nothing about - Athanasiou - Abdelkader Someone we traded for Nyquist - Glendenning - Goon/enforcer #1 defenseman - Green Kronwall - Sproul Tough defenseman who can clear crease - Jensen #1 goalie Mrazek/Howard That's how I want the roster to look. These other lineups presented in this thread will result in a top 5 pick in the following year's draft. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they were willing to move AA, Mantha, or Svechnikov plus more assets, they might be able to get a good defenseman, but I don't see it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would trade a good young forward for a good defenseman (even if he's 30 years old). You can't win consistently in the NHL with the defense the Wings currently have.

Nondescript_D 22 Report post Posted April 14, 2017 Kronwall retires We trade Green for picks/prospects and eat some salary Vegas takes Riley Sheahan...or we could see a wild card there with some extra picks to throw at Vegas to get them to take whomever we want (Helm?) Nyquist_Z-Tatar Abby-Nielsen-Mantha AA-Larkin-Svechnikov Helm-Nosek-Glendening DK-Jensen Oulett-Russo Ericsson-Sproul Mrazek/Howard....soon enough Patterson as Howard gets dealt mid year. I don't think Coreau is an NHL goalie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted April 15, 2017 I'd like the option to make a trade or two, but only using players in the system? Not many changes for me... Nyquist - Zetterberg - Mantha Tatar - Nielsen - Athanasiou Svechnikov - Larkin - Nosek Abdelkader - Helm - Sheahan Frk - Glendening Ouellet - Green DeKeyser - Jensen Kronwall - Sproul Ericsson Mrazek Howard 1 PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted April 15, 2017 Ladies and gentlemen , the idea of this thread was to not have trades and ufa guys signed, it's in essence to make your best roster with what we have now in the organisation. I'm sure well have plenty of threads in due course discussing potential Signings and trades. Could we keep to our original theory as I was going to compile a roster when I had enough suggestions as to what our roster could look like with all our combined lists evened out, after all its just a bit of fun. Cheers Andy. 1 PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted April 15, 2017 Take what they had at the end of the season, maybe add Svechdog and/or Russo. No pending UFAs in Detroit and I doubt any RFAs are left unqualified or anyone is waived. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
