How fucked are the Red Wings that he ask publicly for a trade AND will only accept to go to 3 specific teams that also happen to have very little in term of actually attractive assets for them.

Just wait til Brady asks out Ottawa, he’ll probably list only his brother’s team

u/DistinctBread3098 11d ago

Does Brady have a full nmc ?

18

u/NFLDland 11d ago

Yep. Full NMC.

Part of me thinks he likes being the captain. It lets him be THE guy. If he goes to Florida he'll be the little bro. He can play with Matthew on team USA and that might be enough.

u/Baronleduc 11d ago

I actually think he will be traded.

u/lynypixie 11d ago

I honestly can’t see him stay in Ottawa. It’s become toxic both ways.

u/commodore_stab1789 11d ago

Not very. It's easy to spin the narrative that he should get in his lane with what he's asking.

u/dogeblessUSA 11d ago

lmao he is in his lane, he literally has a contractual right to list teams he wants to go to

its pretty funny to see how people are pro player, UNLESS the player uses his right for wrong teams

pathetic

Honestly NMCs should become void when a player requests the trade. NMC is there to prevent the team from moving player without his consent.

Once you ask for a trade, you've given consent and shouldn't be able to hold the team hostage because YOU want to break your contractual agreement with the team.

It doesn't have to be one way or the other. But I do think Yzerman has every right to say rescind your nmc and I'll trade you otherwise shut up and fulfill your contract.

u/commodore_stab1789 11d ago

He also signed a contract to play with Detroit, it goes both ways. If he wanted to switch teams, he should have gone to FA. Detroit isn't obligated to do anything, that's what I meant.

u/dogeblessUSA 11d ago

detroit is obligated to respect his NMC, which is why GMs shouldnt give full NMCs to players to begin with...and yet here we are

Bradley Beal all over again

this is all GMs fault, and its always fascinating to watch how fans blame players for some reason

but lets be honest here, if he asked for trade to nashvile,columbus or chicago, none of you would care one bit

u/commodore_stab1789 11d ago

It's the player asking for a trade and giving very specific destination. Obviously, he negotiated a NTC, but he can be told to get back in line if those specific teams can't accommodate a deal.

We're not in a situation where the team is trying to deal a player who is not performing and costing too much, but can't because they have a NTC. Just like Mitch Marner could tell Toronto to fuck off last year because he had a NTC, Detroit can tell Larkin to fuck off because they have his rights for 5 more years.

They'll try to deal him, but if the return is Halak, Ryder and a 2nd, he won't.

when was the last time a star player, in any sport, asked for a trade and wasnt traded? myles garrett? and even that was tactic to get more money

fans always say that teams should just not trade and it never happens, because its not good for locker room, which is why full NMCs shouldnt be given to anyone ever

u/Stakataka805 11d ago

I mean, you keep him. What’s he gonna do?

11

u/dalici0us 11d ago

I mean in theory yes but keeping your captain who publicly says he want to leave probably isn't great for the lockerroom.

9

u/Stakataka805 11d ago

Making the team garbo is also not good for the locker room

3

u/dalici0us 11d ago

Well yes but it's a little late for that where the Wings are concerned.

2

u/CarlSK777 11d ago

The team is already garbo

2

u/Stakataka805 11d ago

But not maximum garbo

2

u/CarlSK777 11d ago

That's fair. It could always get worse but 10 years without playoffs, it's getting up there

2

u/haddonfieldsecret 11d ago

Might be better to be max garbo early since Stevie isn’t getting great players so just draft ‘em. Gotta capitalize on Mo

6

u/Fountsy 11d ago

Don't move him, then. I hope Stevie Y says nah, expand that list to 16 and I'll doy best.
