Bert and Kubs(assuming he goes on a heater)
Suter and Maata (assuming we don’t extend him).
Honestly I’d trade every UFA we possibly can with the exception of Larkin. I’d like to hold on to Walman and Maata.
With how injured Bert has been I’d trade him if the right deal comes along.

The “classic rental” tier – Erne
The “short-term extension candidate or trade chip?” tier – Määttä, Suter, Sundqvist, Oesterle
The Tyler Bertuzzi tier – you guessed it
The “sell high with term, or hang onto?” tier – Hronek, Kubalik, Perron
The “nuclear option” tier – Larkin

Sell everything not nailed down.

Based on some of these names and Max’s comments I’m not sure how quality these picks we receive in return will be. But definitely need as many darts as we can throw at the board.
I think our bigger opportunity is bringing on bad contracts with our cap space and how little space a lot of teams have. If we ship out someone like Bert we get a lot more space to work with. But I think we’ll be cautious of any bad contracts with a lot of remaining term with our upcoming signings.

You start talking extensions now and sell anyone who’s not under contract come March 1st. That includes Larkin and Walman. That said, I hope they both come to an agreement beforehand.
It’s a very strong draft, so the more picks, the better. Hopefully, this is our last year of selling pending UFA talent.

I’m probably in the minority here but I’m for trading Hronek, his value is the highest it’s been since pre Seider. Without looking at analytics to back this up his play has cooled off playing without Maatta. Though I have a feeling this trade deadline will be quiet for the Wings, keep the band together without big changes for the first time in awhile and let them figure things out.

I’d love to see Bert moved so we don’t sign him to a big, expensive contract

This isn’t directly related to who we should get rid of, but I feel like Puljujarvi might be someone we should look at. Yzerman hasn’t been afraid to take shots on players who aren’t particularly panning out and despite his lack of production, he’s a very talented player with a higher ceiling than it is right now.
