Nashville Trades: Turris (5 years x 6 Million)
*Maybe add a pick for Detroit taking on additional 2 years

Detroit Trades: Nielsen ( 3 years x 5.25 million

Logic: Nashville gets a productive 2-way C who can help on Shootouts and help add depth that Turris has not been as successful with in Nashville.

Turris played with Mantha at Worlds and that chemistry could give Turris a new start and Detroit to run two good lines instead of one top line.

Who adds? Is it close?

As a Wings fan I don't want to add any players with higher cap or longer term during a rebuilding year.

I'd rather keep Nielsen's cap hit for 2 more years and try to trade him in year 3. He will fill the hole of a 3C behind Larkin and AA.

@DrwDave, I see your points. AA while I would have liked to see be a center, he is now destined to be a winger.

Nielsen has the better contract in the short term as you mentioned but he is 35 and would likely prefer to be on a cup contender while heâ€™s still capable. Turris is only 30 and would be 35 by the time of expiry. The cap difference between the two isnâ€™t much.

While we are rebuilding, having someone to slot in as a 2-3c is not bad considering our only promising Top 6 potential C we have in the system is Veleno. Besides Fililpula will be gone after next season and then Veleno can start at 3C and build from there for a couple years.

So thatâ€™s my logic behind why I donâ€™t think this is too bad as we do need a mix of experience and youth. Now to be fair, I may reconsider this depending on upcoming contracts for AA and Mantha.

Good prop. Nothing bad to say.
