Two Sides To A Trade

Ted Kulfan of the Detroit Nrws...

Sure, it’s fun to conjure potential trades, some of which could come close to happening.

But, fans have to be realistic.

Consider the opposing side, the other team potentially you’re dealing with.

Look, they may or may not want Jonathan Ericsson or Trevor Daley, or as Pete in Wyandotte so creatively composed the trade possibility, Tomas Tatar (something about Tatar’s lack of scoring).

But that team likely isn’t going to give up a first-round draft pick, or multiple first-round draft picks, to do so.

They want to win, too, and are looking toward their own future. Nobody is going to be giving up 1st-round draft picks for talent you deem expendable.

Kulfan goes on and answers some fan mail...

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
