Should the Detroit Red Wings trade for Aaron Ekblad?
The Detroit Red Wings are in a big need for a top 4 right side defensman still. Prior to free agency rumors circulated that 28 year old Aaron Ekblad may be on the trade block as he is a pending free agent next offseason due for a big raise on a cap strapped team. Does it make sense for the Red Wings to make a run for him? #LGRW

2nd pair RS D man is the Wings most glaring need
Would be nice but too pricey to get.
There is NOTHING going on right now. This conversation is fine.
we need an Ekbalm or Truba type player. I mean Ekbalmberg... some one who can scare the crap out of the other team. 🤔Ekbalmarov?...
I’m a Panthers fan as well as a Wings fan. I watch ALOT of Panthers hockey and trust me you don’t want Ekblad.

@casewojo6186 Lmaoo I saw a bunch of SJ fans saying how hyped they were for Walman.... I couldn't help but think how angry they'll be come January 🤭
Is it just me or does Brian Fisher grind on anyone else.? He seems to bring up a lot of situations that are not feasible, so why bother? It appears with body language, that Scotty feels similar at times.

Lol yeah tbh it's a bit of everything lol .. mannerisms , voice , ect .. I mean he's a good guy .. but he'd be one of those friends that ya need is smaller doses lol
We can't let our amazing draft picks rot on the vine in GR. They need to be challenged to grow not just played in GR. Hopefully the GR team will be consistent and competitive all season next year. They have an amazing team for next year. Free agency is now too expensive for the future of the Wings.
We need someone on defense. Probably can’t get this guy though
If Yzerman would acquire him that's only in a relatively short term deal not more than 2/3 years as ASP Would be ready to make the jump on that Time line so to me pretty unrealistic by the way but who knows..
Honestly I think they get him after the season trade for his rights. Like what Tampa did with Jake Guentzel..
Florida would want way too much in return. Unless Yzerman can pull off the heist of the century...
Honestly I don’t think it’s happening. Detroit just needs a serviceable 2nd line rh def. Most likely someone around the 4-5 mil range.
I don't think the Wings need to add much more. Edvinson and Johansen? are ready to come up and save the Wings millions.Vladi is a huge improvement over Perron. Hopefully Bergy will come close to Sprongs numbers.
Honestly, I think a big problem we have, which isn't exclusive to us as Wings fans, is overvaluing our prospects. Do we have guys knocking on the door? Sure we do. That doesn't mean they're not expendable. There might be two or three guys we absolutely will not trade at this time. But the rest of those guys, likely the ones not named Danielson, Nygard, or Kasper? Expendable. I don't think we have a chance to get Ekblad... but not because I want to hold on to every card in our hand. I don't think we have a chance because I don't think we're willing to part with anyone they want.

Nice observation. I think half the reason you acquire a thousand picks in a rebuild isnt to develop then all for your team, but to also use them as trade pieces.
Let's get McDavid whilst we're at it...... I find these types of conversation ridiculous.

You think Ekblad is anywhere near the same level of conversation as McDavid? There is a very real chance FLA could trade Ekblad and Detroit is one of the few teams that has the assets and cap space to make it work. If you don't like the topic, no one is forcing you to listen.
No on trade for Aaron Ekblad

@@walexander8378No that's not because that means Dylan Larkin would be under that.. 22- 25 you have a good idea of the player you are but still figuring things out learning how to utilize your skills who is fullest to help your team win.. full of hope, spark and upside.. and actually I believe at about age 26-27 you begin to hit your prime.. ( for most players) like, around 30 years old, you should be defined and in peak vet form where you're striding and gliding.. between 30-35 I'd say🤔.. age 36 is usually the age (depending on player, of course ) btw is likely the start of a slow decline.. around 38-39 you are at your last stage of the player you are.. and you're pretty much on the team on a likely vet minimum and serves more as a player's coach and giving wisdom to the younger guys ..39-41 you're likely on your last deal of any team you're on.. heading out to into retirement
Maybe someone like demelo
Ahhh yes DAVID Montour lmfao

@@LockedOnRedWings lmao all in good fun, good job on the pod boys 👍 a likely scenario though…Ekblads wife’s family is loadeddddd, rumor has it he’s going to take a big pay cut and stay in FL
Berrgren, Petry, and a 2nd
I’d want to trade for Mitch Marner, instead. Ekblad, is cooked. Like Maurice said, he had to transition his game to defense instead of offense. You don’t want cooked goods.
After losing Montour there is a 0% chance they trade him, their D especially the right side would be weak if they moved him.
I think he’d do if they said look u can live back in Windsor and u ride can ur 10speed bicycle across the Ambasador Bridge for free so u can go to practice and games and save cuz the gas and toll could be a deal breaker eh how about that click bait boyz😂😂😂 Ofer him free Tim Hortons coffee and a $500 Canadian Tire gift card he would be all over that done deal 😂😂😂😂😂.
No.
sry but, this is all smoke, not even realistic. no chance panthers deal that guy, for cap space of 1 mil
Maata, Berggren and a 2nd rounder.
you guys want to get rid of Larkin?

Everyone forgets to hold Lalonde accountable. Last year's fall is not on Larkin getting injured, as much as it was Lalonde's lack of coaching leadership
