What Detroit would have to give up to move up that many spots would move the rebuild back several years, essentially until his arrival (2026 or 2027?). I just don’t think that aligns with what Yzerman has done up to this point: as much as he’s emphasized patience he’s also done his best to keep the team from getting worse or piling on unnecessary risk
I think Philly at 7 is the only trade up that could make sense for the other team too. They are entering a rebuild with a new GM, have no 2nd rounders this year or next, and with the Ivan Fedotov situation may avoid Russians.
I think we could definitely offer a package that works for them. They are shopping Tony DeAngelo too who we have the room to acquire (don’t like the guy, could buy him out, just mentioning a possibility). In my dream scenario we pry Konecny out too
For every 100 trade speculations especially on the draft day, one 3 or 4 will materialize.
For the sake of this article, I am siding with those that say we can’t give up a lot to trade up a couple spots as there are many good players here to pick. We need multiple stars on this team so we should not be selling all our eggs for just 1 Michkov
If we were going all in and trading up I’d rather go for Carlsson. To be clear I don’t see a trade up scenario actually happening
The only way to achieve this without giving up way too many assets is for Michkov to fall. But he’s shockingly underrated so maybe there’s hope. Anyone who passes on him is making a mistake as he’s a tier above everyone else but Bedard and would go 1OA in all but the best drafts.
Perhaps we pull another Russian 5 scenario and Buchelnikov and Michkov both defect to the US
Uh, no. Moving on…
Yzerman he said he prefers to get players who have already proven themselves over players who might be something. I don’t see him spending lots of assets to move up in the draft, I think he uses them on a big time winger or 2c.
I wouldn’t say no to Michkov but I don’t think he’s someone we need to plan around. Wings need to be a playoff team next year and contending for the Cup by the time he’s ready. By that time the team should be pretty set.
I’m all for trading up if he falls below 5. I doubt Wash would let him by at 8. He’d solve our goal scoring problem. I think we are at the point where safe picks are over and we need to take some swings and go for high ceiling assets.
