However, in a universe where they are unable to come to an agreement, here is one of the few scenarios where it makes sense to trade Makar. Even though the salary cap is going up, Makar is still probably going to get between $15-17 million annually. He would add an offensive boost that the Red Wings would love. The Red Wings haven’t made the postseason since the 2015-16 season. Adding Nelson would make up for the loss of Larkin, though not for as long as the Red Wings might hope.
