The rumour I hear is Detroit trading Datsyuk for Kaberle, Schenn and Stalberg. It makes no sense for us, it would be a beauty for them. Stalberg and Phaneuf are not sympatico.

Detroit has too many guys on contract for a decade. Eventually they will have to do something.
I like that deal for the Leafs.... there are many people who think that Datsyuk is the most valuable player in the league. He's definitely top 5.
I really can't imagine the Wings making that trade even though they'd be getting a good package.

That trade would be a beauty for the Leafs. 4 years of Datsyuk centering Kessel for 6.7 mil? Sign me up.
Why would Detroit want to do this? Makes no sense to me. Who would be their #1 C? Marleau?
Besides, Lidstrom's career is almost over - then that will free up cap space in 1-2 years.

If Detroit put Datsyuk on the market that offer would be so crushed.
Some team would offer a real forward going the other way.

They still have Zetterberg, so he'd be a fine top line C.
This sort of deal would make sense after Lidstrom retired, but not sure if I see the idea now.

I'd do the trade: Kaberle is gone next year, and Datsyuk is elite level talent. Schenn while he's solid he's nothing special either, woulndnt be the end of the world to lose schenn. Stalberg right now until he proves otherwise, is Todd Marchant 2.0.

Another team would 'crush' the offer of a top 10 offensive dman in his prime, a recent top 5 draft pick and a good prospect/young player?
This deal would make more sense if Lidstrom had retired though. With Rafalski aging and Lidstrom close to retirement, Holland will need to replace these guys soon.
If the Wings were able to sign Marleau I could see that deal kinda making sense on July 2nd.
This proves that it's a bad deal for the Wings. If Hoss likes it too then you really know it's brutal for the Wings.
I don't care what you label these guys as. Another team would most likely offer a better package than Kaberle, Schenn and Stalberg.

Maybe, but that's a pretty strong package for a team that would need to replace their top 2 defensemen.
Name a team that can offer two better defensemen (taking into account quality, age, contracts etc)
I'm sure I could figure something out... but why does it have to be 2 dmen? I just said that I figured there are teams that could make better offers.
I'm sure Columbus would give up Voracek, Stralman, Brassard/Filatov and the 4th overall.
There are only like 3 or 4 guys in the league who would get as big of a return as Datsyuk.

I think Stalberg is the most interesting Leaf in a long time. If he ever reaches his full potential, he could really be something. And I have seen glimpses of serious shit.
No offense to Stalberg but almost every team in the league has a guy like that. They have a boatload of talent and show flashes of brilliance. One out of 50 of them actually fulfill that potential. He may be the one to do it, but at 24 years old it doesn't really seem all that likely.
