Minor Tinkering Ideas:

Niklas Jensen and Luke Glendening and Johan Franzen to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Matt Martin and Josh Leivo and Roman Polak and a 2019 2nd Round Draft Pick.

if that doesn't work out.

Oscar Lindberg to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Eric Fehr and a 2019 3rd Round Draft Pick.

- Jensen was touted well last year but has struggled this year. He could use a good team like Toronto to get back on the right track. And, he's a RHD. Glendening is rumored to be going to Toronto for some time, and his cap is a bit, but its an upgrade on 4C for the next few years. Toronto takes on Franzen and stuffs him on LTIR, basically saving Detroit 4 million off of their own books.
- Detroit takes back Matt Martin at full as a compliment to Toronto taking Glendening at full, and Franzen at full (despite Franzen being thrown on LTIR) . Detroit also receives a decent forward who could be a top 9 guy, and if Detroit decides to sell off big-time, then he could be a guy who could step up into a bigger role. And they get a 2nd.

The Vegas trade simply provides insurance for the playoffs. Lindberg isn't doing very well in Vegas (9 points in 55 games), and Vegas would gladly take a 3rd for him. They have tons of guys in the bottom 6 anyway.

Franzan is ocerpaid and has term. That would be a bloody nightmare of a trade. Jensen is a winger that starts 70of his shifts in th offensive zone. I like Glendening. he is a strong penalty killer and plays 3min a nigth on the pk.

Oscar lindberg can stay in vegas.

Franzen gets thrown on LTIR and i think insurance covers the money. I just don't see why Detroit would trade him because they obviously won't get value and since he doesn't impact them at all not worth paying to move.

@howling stone. He said Niklas Jensen who is a winger from Denmark Who I believe is back playing in Europe. But who he meant was Nick Jensen, an American defensman playing for the red wings.

I think jbs hits the nail on the head, franzen on LTIR isn't costing the wings a dime so right away its like what's the point?
