Also isn't D a huge issue for Detroit? Wouldn't Hamonic be a nice upgrade from yahoos like Quincey?

Oh, definitely. Detroit's defense is abysmal. But Hamonic is 27 and has an inflated trade value. He makes sense for a contender shoring up their defense but he's kind of pointless for a team trying to rebuild.

I don't care if other trades follow that, the return for a top 6 center and a possible starter/top notch back up is garbage. And it makes no sense because the Rangers are in win now mode until Hank really falls off. And they're clearly banking on him not doing so by flipping Raanta.

The blue line sucks, yeah, but Miller and Hayes are poo poo at center and one of the two is going to be centering the 2nd line.

Look do you want him to trade some of his players or not?

I have been praying to the hockey gods that the Flyers somehow trade Vandevelde to Vegas to reunite him with his best friend/linemate Bellemare.

And in that prayer, a nice side note would be Ryan white is traded from Phoenix to Vegas as well.

Untouchables line reunited as a top 2 line for Vegas. Irony being just they get less minutes than they got under Hakstol.

They're kind of in a rebuild on the fly mode right now. If hank doesn't like it he can waive his NTC and see if someone will eat his 8 mil cap hit. It's a fine return IMO as long as we don't have another Mcilrath situation at 7OA

I was gonna ask who do they have in the pipes behind Hank now because he was already looking pretty ragged last season. Figured they'd want Raanta there to be able to eat some extra starts during the season but maybe they like Hellberg that much/plan on grabbing Mason or someone?

Looks like it's set up perfectly for Russell to get traded after the 2nd year of his deal. Which he will be after he's forced out of the lineup by Caleb Jones and Ethan Bear.

Oilers traded away Yakupov to sign Russell the first time and Eberle to sign him the second time.

Prior to today, their holes were on the blueline and having a game changing forward. They're a lot better off than most teams and have a solid core of forwards, along with McDonagh and Skej that has gone to the playoffs for several years in a row.

I just don't get this, because if they're not going to really blow it up and move guys like Nash (1 yr left) and Hank, why bother?

I imagine if they have families they might, simply because it's easier on the kids to not have to move around all the time. I know Antonio Davis had dual citizenship for the period where he played for the Raptors, largely because his kids were still fairly young and in elementary school.

Of course, I also remember him saying he was a bit relieved when Chicago traded for him, not because he disliked being a Raptor, but because he didn't like that his kids were learning metric.

It's still early in the offseason, Nash certainly could be on his way out

I don't think they trade Hank out of "respect" though.
