I think Kasper and the 2025 1st is fair. I think Conroy would want Detroit's 2024 1st and I don't see Yzerman giving one of those assets let alone both. Andersson would be nice but would he be good with playing in the 2nd pair and in 2 seasons he's going to want a lot of money and would probably price him out of Detroit.

Without Calgary taking back those contracts there is no way Detroit could make it work cap wise. Maatta will probably return a 4th and Holl is a cheap buyout. So you're taking the 2 players that Detroit will have no problem moving. Then you want a 2nd and a 5th for taking them, which is way more than it's worth to dump them. Especially when the trade hinges on Calgary taking on some cap to make it work.

I do agree with <a href="/users/Lancebmx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Lancebmx</a> Detroit really isn't the team for this trade.

Thread: Necas Value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ste_Catherine_Street</b></div><div>Well, Montreal's top-line isn't very strong. Necas is a 60pt player. In Mtl, yes that is topline. Should Mtl pay more because they aren't a playoff team too?
Caufield isn't as old as Necas....Arguably I overpaid Necas actually, but paying Necas 7M at 25/26 years old is not the same as paying Caufield 7.5 at 22 years old..</div></div>

I'm going to say MTL shouldn't pay more because they aren't in a position to spend multiple assets for a single player. Players like Necas become available every season, so there's no need to go after Necas this offseason. I think MTL should get some more pieces in place before going after a big name UFAs or moving a bunch of assets to get an RFA who will be a UFA in a season or two.

Thread: Detroit Blockbuster
This is from an article on the Hockey Writers site by Tony Wolak and as you can read he reached out Derek Olsen to discuss what a Sharangovich trade would look like. I copied and pasted that part of the article but I will include the link. <a href="https://thehockeywriters.com/red-wings-hidden-gem-trade-target-2024/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Sharangovich Trade</a>

Potential Red Wings Trade for Yegor Sharangovich

Clearly Sharangovich can provide value for the Red Wings. Now what would it take to acquire him? He certainly won’t come cheap.

Calgary reportedly wants to be a faster team next season. They also need more center depth – both at the NHL level and in their prospect pipeline. And finally, they have MacKenzie Weegar and Rasmus Andersson on the right side of the blue line, and not much on the left. The Red Wings have pieces to make this work.

The Flames also have an abundance of cap space. They’re projected to have around $17 million in space with their key RFAs re-signed.

With this in mind, I reached out to THW colleague and Flames reporter Derek Olsen to negotiate a trade. Here’s what we agreed to:

Flames trade Yegor Sharangovich to Detroit for Joe Veleno, Olli Määttä, and a 2025 second-round pick.

“I like that offer,” Olsen said. “Määttä could be dealt at the deadline with money retained should the team struggle, a second rounder is always nice, and I do love the idea of a faster bottom six with Veleno.”
