Also, I originally said this: " Wouldn't Veleno need to start scoring points, or even a point, before we can pencil him into the Red Wings lineup next year?". That isn't even close to saying "Veleno won't score all year". So again, what are you arguing about? I never said he wouldn't score at all, and I never said any of the five guys you mentioned (let alone all of them) would be on the team. What the f*** are you talking about? In what bizarro world did I say you said any of that s***? I didn't. Exactly. You singled out Veleno because he hasn't scored a point yet, but didn't bother to say anything about Zadina or Seider because they have each scored a point. But yeah, it has nothing to do with production, right? Anyway, I'm done with this. I think all 5 will be in Detroit full time at some point next season. You disagree? Cool. Move along...

He had 17 pts in 44 games in the Swedish SuperElit league last year. This year he's back there again and already has 13 pts in 11 games. 9 of which are goals. Matching his goal total from last year in, on the dot, 1/4 less games. Didnt Dick Axelsson tear up the Swedish leagues? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BringBack19 110 Report post Posted October 28, 2019 Helps with secondary scoring. Regula wasn’t ever going to be anything more than a 3rd pairing type. Perlini is a RFA so if he catches fire great. We either have a trade chip or secondary scoring for the future. We kinda need secondary scoring. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perlini is a RFA so if he catches fire great. We either have a trade chip or secondary scoring for the future. We kinda need secondary scoring. Agreed. At least, in theory. Hronek's currently on a ~40-point pace, just as he was at the end of last season. So he's looking like the real deal, which means that's one RHD spot locked down. Probably safe to pencil Seider in as another. Tuomisto is the best defenseman in his league and Yzerman took him high in the draft, so maybe he's another. Lindstrom's still in the mix. And that's just righties. So...yeah. I'm not going to lose sleep over losing Regula. Is Perlini fair value? I dunno. Given the fact that we desperately need some scoring depth *right now* (if only to help morale) and that we don't really have the assets needed to swing a trade for a big-name NHL scorer...Perlini's probably the best we could realistically hope for. He had requested a trade, so I doubt a whole lot of thought went into this. We're taking a flyer on a young forward with some skill and some size.

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Worth noting that Perlini has scored goals at the NHL level. 14 in 57 games in 2016-17 with the Coyotes. 17 in 74 games in 2017-18 with the Coyotes. 14 in 68 games last season, split between the Coyotes and Blackhawks. I don't think it's a stretch to say he's capable of potting 20+ goals under the right circumstances. So...nice D prospect for some immediate scoring help? Sure. I'll take it.

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted October 29, 2019 I don't really care about losing Regula, so in the end I don't feel strongly about this trade either way, but I really don't get it. A middle six winger who couldn't catch on with two different (bad) teams and who's been questioned for his effort and his defense traded for a big defender who can move the puck. Seems like Yzerman traded the kind of guy he likes for the kind of guy doesn't. I'm confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always thought, maybe he could become a solid bottom pairing defenseman. This is another meh trade, similar to the Erne trade though... I do think Perlini is better than Erne, but I also think Regula has a better chance to become a regular NHLer than whoever we might pick in the 4th round... I'll take a definite middle six winger over a maybe bottom pairing defenseman. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
