Post-deadline thoughts from Nill
I did an email interview with Detroit Red Wings assistant GM Jim Nill. Most of his responses are being used for a different project, but the stuff regarding this season’s deadline, I wanted to post here. Sorry that I couldn’t get this to you guys right after the trade deadline, but Mr. Nill was over in Europe for about a week following the deadline and did not have internet access.
Nill on where the scouts and staff are during deadline…
“This year at the deadline we were in Chicago as Detroit played against Chicago that night.”
Nill on the Bertuzzi & Calder trades…
“We were very happy with both trades, they addressed our needs to adding size, toughness, and grit to our lineup, without sacrificing major changes to our lineup.”
If my “project” does not pan out, I will post the rest of his answers. If it does work, I will link you guys to it.
