If the Wings silently just shopped him at the deadline chances are they would have received some top notch offers.

I completely agree, I bet if Burke didn't call out Sven for his bad play, Sven's value would have been a whole lot better than what we traded him for imo. If Burke just simply said that Sven needs to work on a few things, that would have been a better approach.
What the Wings are doing with Mantha isn't the best thing to do when you look at both sides of the party. Mantha may never get that opportunity anymore with a new team with the red flags Detroit management is saying, and Detroit management isn't going to get a great return for Mantha.
