Give up a hat trick to Ovechkin and lose 6-2.
Nyquist and Larkin together are flying. Nyquist is on pace for his best season in points and even has his 2013-2014 season where he put in 28 goals in 57 games beat for points per game.
So, unfortunately, now is the time to deal him. I don't think that the D and goaltending has shown enough that they'll be competitive in the next 3 years that it's worth it to keep him on an expensive deal on the decline.
Probably a good time to sell high on some players, especially Howard.
I could see Kenny finding a way to screw this up though. I get that Bernier has been abysmal in Detroit thus far but they need to start looking toward the future, and the fact is that the goalie market might never get hotter than it is right now with so many teams desperate to upgrade between the pipes.
But you weren't talking about goalies so...yeah, get a package similar or better than what Tatar snagged at the deadline.
Tatar had term, which is why I think he netted a great return. If Nyquist continues to light it up we should get into 1st rounder territory, hopefully, but I'm not sure that we'll see a package as good as Tatar.
Heh...I think I actually had a mention of Howard in my post as I was writing it but removed it. I mentioned him in the waiver thread:

Lots of injured goalies right now, so we could see some more movement.
Howard is playing awesome. Now would be the time to find a team desperate for his services. However, Holland probably wouldn't want to because they are only 3 points back of the wild card and they've indicated that they want to bring him back next season(though you can still do that even if you deal him but would Holland want to).
