krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, DickieDunn said: Nashville is rumored to be looking for a top 6 forward. I'd be calling them seeing if they'd be willing to send one of their top 4 D in exchange for Tatar, Nyquist, AA, Mantha, or Svechnikov the cornerstone of the package, with other pieces coming and going depending on which forward it would take and which D comes back. I don't think it's a stretch to say they have 4, or even 5, guys as good or better than anyone the Wings have. Poile has already said that he's looking for a top 6 forward (Duchene), but isn't willing to move any of his top 4 defensemen... How he expects to pull that off, I have no idea... Edit: what amato said... But yeah, we need to be calling teams like Nashville, Anaheim, Winnipeg, Carolina, Philadelphia, etc to see if there's a deal to be made. I'm fully confident that if we go into this season without making any significant changes, we will have a good shot at Dahlin / Svechnikov in a year's time.

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted June 27, 2017 1 hour ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: Craig Custance was answering fan questions on reddit this morning. I'll share some highlights. In regards to Holland's future after this coming season: In regards to the draft: In regards to who will start in net this season: In regards to our future with the young guns: In regards to upgrading the D: More on Holland: On Wings future: A number of people asked about DK as well and he basically kept responding that he thinks DK is a fine D-man and he has been asked to do too much. Wings need to add to the defense around him so he can succeed. You know that things are going to remain in neutral and Kenny is just going to move upstairs if he isn't brought back as the GM. Even if he is president, I think he's going to have a lot of influence over whoever gets the GM title. In other words, SSDD. 59 minutes ago, amato said: Can't find it quickly enough so I gave up but I read somewhere that Nashville wants a top six forward without having to trade a top 4 d man. Not sure what they have in terms of defensive prospects (probably pretty decent ones based on their recent history?) but they seem pretty set on keeping their current top 4 together for a long time.. can't blame them. I'd take a prospect too, sending a lesser package. And "want to" doesn't always mean "that's all they'll do." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just get the feeling that they'd rather continue with what they've got (maybe sign a Justin Williams or something?) than trade anyone in their top 4. But you're right, you never know. I do like the idea of taking a prospect with a lesser package.. in general, not just from the preds specifically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted June 27, 2017 Been thinking the coming trade window. I do believe we will trade for a defenseman and the price we pay will be hefty. Probably too hefty. Given that I believe we will be getting a top draft pick next year I hope the defender we get is young enough to be in tune with Larkin, Mantha and AA (and our picks). And hopefully those bucks wont be included in the package. I wouldn't mind sending off Tatar and/or Nyqvist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted June 28, 2017 Read that the Wings want a veteran defenseman to bridge the gap between our 9 defense draft picks the last 2 years and when they can play. I'd rather just tank for those years than get stuck with another bad contract. No to Daley or any of those guys unless it's 1-2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
