Stone to flames talk heating up apparently. Both gms in town.

Well Melnyk can't afford plane tickets for Dorion so he can only trade with teams that come here

My impression was it was an informatively inaccurate joke referring to the fact that melnyk will trade with whoever is around at the time since he hadn't really made any sort of season-long plan previously

DET has asked Gustav Nyquist to waive his NTC to facilitate a trade to SJ. Nyquist is apparently willing to do so, which would pave the way for DET and SJ to finalize/formalize this transaction.

Had a sneaky suspicion he would be leaving DET with them.

Im a little nervous though due to the lack of draft picks SJ has. Obviously were not getting a 1st, hopefully a good prospect is coming back. Highly doubt it'd be a merkely, but maybe?

Hearing 2nd and conditional 3rd. Seems low to me, still unofficial, i wonder if theres a prospect involved. Dzingel just went for two 2nds. Nyquist has more points, a little older, but i would imagine he would fetch around the same or better seeing that nyquist has a lot more playoff experience than dzingel

2nd in 2019 (I think it's Florida's) and a conditional 3rd
looks like no players coming back to Detroit in this one

Ill be fine with it if panthers shit the bed and their 2nd is an early one, but i still wouldve thought ATLEAST what Dzingel got.

Hopefully this helps Laine

This potential WPG-NYR deal is WPG 2019 first-round pick, Brendan Lemieux and a conditional pick in exchange for Kevin Hayes. Believe an agreement is in place but trade call not set yet.
