Honestly, I'd rather just be sellers at the deadline and get rid of miller, lol.

I think yandle costs you one of mantha or Larkin and a 2015 1st plus something else


Mantha and Larkin are off the table it seems like. That's why I'm thinking IF Detroit gets it, it's Pulkk + one of our better young defensemen and two early round picks.

That said other teams can offer more and the only reason wings would have any form of advantage is that they're in the east and most of the other teams talking to them about Yandle are west. It's a pipe dream but I want it so bad lol.

whos to say they dont draft one? why would they trade for some mid aged goalie thats 30 when the team is in their prime?
also trading for a goalie means less tools for their rebuild they already gave up some prospects giving up more... its just not worth it for them imo

right now the goalie market is pretty dead not many teams need a goalie and if they do its a back up more then a starter
they could prob just wait n snag somebody from FA in the next few years wit how the goalie situations are or pick one up in the 2nd rd or something


Nobody said they're gonna trade for a middle-aged goalie. Niemi is a free-agent.

Goalies take longer to develop, I doubt they want to wait 4+ years for a goalie to make the NHL and then another 2 years for him to get enough NHL experience.

And trading for a goalie doesn't lose them any extra assets:
- Trade for a goalie / draft a skater
- Draft a goalie / keep a skater
Either way, they lose a draft pick, acquire a goalie and retain a skater.

No one's been as juicy as Yandle at the deadline though. Detroit's got a backlog of guys who are NHL ready but who are stuck in the AHL, and something's gotta give. Almqvist and Murzak left. Jarnkrok demanded a trade. It would make sense. Biggest problem is the cap space.

Why would they? Only did it with Moulson 'cause he was a UFA.
