Something that I look forward to every year are the big
moves. The trade deadline, draft day,
and the start of free agency are like holidays to me because that is when a lot
of trades happen. Being a Hockeytown
native I would like a big move in Detroit.
The biggest need I feel should be of concern is
defense. Not only has the Wings defense been
battling injuries they just aren’t that deep and I consider Ericsson more of a
second pair defensemen. Kronwall needs a
legitimate partner and I think Keith Yandle who’s name has been thrown around
is worth giving up some assets for and maybe even bring back someone like Antoine
Vermette or Radim Vrbata if you can get them to budge. They may have to give up someone like Johan
Franzen or Jan Mursak but with the return they are expendable.
My proposal would be
Detroit to receive Keith Yandle, Derek Morris, and Antoine
Vermette
Phoenix to receive Johan Franzen, Jan Mursak, Jakub Kindl,
Mikael Samuelsson, and some draft choices.
Now I don’t know in particular the salaries of all the
players and how it would effect the salary caps of each team but this is just
what I see as fair and if the salary would work or if some minor changes are
needed in order to work then this would be awesome.
I know big trades with this many established players don’t
tend to happen so I imagine if the Red Wings go after Keith Yandle it wont look
the way I imagine I just think its fair for both teams and would be great for
the Red Wings.
The Trade deadline isn’t till April and I cannot wait. What players do you think will be on the move
in the next couple months? There are
always buyers and sellers, but I think its still to early in the season for
teams to decide which category they fall under.
