Does Filppula or Hudler provide something that our younger, cheaper guys already in the system don't? I'd rather utilize our resources in acquiring something we lack ie a franchise forward, top pairing defensman, established goal scorer etc

You would trade Pav contract, Nyquist and 2nd just to clear $7.5 million dollars? How about some return?? What if we can't sign s*** with the $7.5? We would lose Nyquist and a 2nd pick for nothing. That's bad management Lefty. If it was Jurco and 2nd round conditional pick on the condition that we land Stamkos then I'd be okay with it. You don't give away picks, players just to move cap space without some guarantee. What if Stamkos ends up re-signing with Tampa and we've struck out and end up with Radulov for $7 million for 2 years or something lol. That's just terrible management. If Holland succumbed to this idiocracy I'll be the first to protest outside his house in Northville to fire him.

No doubt about them being better, lately Elliott's name has jumped in the Flames rumor mix. All I'm saying is, the fact that the prices are so high on them, and they likely wouldn't be on Jimmy, it is surprising to me we haven't heard any rumors. Burke was part of the brain trust that chose Howard as the 3rd goalie on team USA just 2 years ago after all. I'm still holding out hope Bishop and Fleury don't move and the Flames are forced to look elsewhere.

Dear god no on Filppula. He disappeared for long stretches in a wings uniform and that was when he was in his prime. No thanks.

I have a feeling Detroit will have a deal in place for Datsyuk's contract with a team dependent on getting a big fish free agent to sign with Detroit. So I don't see it being traded till July 1st or after. Holland knows if he trades away good pieces and then strikes out in free agency he will be looking for another job.

If Bean and McLeod are somehow off the board at 16, I'm definitely in the trade down camp.

No way would I trade our 46th pick and a prospect, just to get rid of Datsyuk's contract for one season... I still think the asking price will go down quite a bit, and we'll be able to move it before July 1st...

7 pm est I believe. May our scouts bring us jewels.

I don't think that cap is KH issue... KH biggest problem is KH

I don't think they're what we need as of now, we have younger guys that fill up those roles. We need to reinforce our defense first imo

LOL not a chance Holland might as well own the team. He's never getting fired.

Scotty was a true Detroit GM.

And yet Holland is voted one of the top GM's in the league every year. He hasn't signed a player to a good contract in at least 6 years. It's evident when we have no trade pieces because all of our contracts are inflated.

Yeah cbus definitely comes to mind. I'm sure there are others too but i can't think of any examples off the top of my head. It would also give holland a little leverage and make trades that could happen without taking a bad contract back cheaper too. But it doesn't matter because we'd probably rather eat the cap hit for a year than do that. Maybe I'm wrong. But I think the only way we trade the contract is if we sign stamkos or make a trade for a d man + sign a lesser forward (okposo, Eriksson, etc) and absolutely need the cap space. A contract coming back the other way would make no sense.. That's basically what I got from that tweet.

KH plan is: 1. Replace Dats (Center) 2. Add top six forward I hope I'm wrong but his style would be: 1. Flip-flop 2. Hudler

It's on McKenzie twitter account. Flames will leave today with the goalie (Bishop) so imo Howard will stay in Detroit. We have so many useless contracts which are not tradeable...

Filppula and Hudler incoming. Mark it.

That tweet from Craig Custance makes no sense. There is no salary attached to Datsyuk's contract so that's obviously not the issue with negotiations... Regarding Howard, if he isn't moved before the expansion draft (I hope he will be) he absolutely will be made available. No chance Mrazek is exposed...

I find it funny how every year people are falling for the same media games. What is MB supposed to say other than he isn't shopping Subban but he would be dumb not to listen at offers if Edmonton offers Hall, Nurse and their 4 pick you gotta listen. The only real story line is where does stammer sign other than that ..Even the top 3 in the draft are set.

It's seems like these days everyone but Radulov is piece of s*** on this board

He hates charity too...

For the love of god, leave disney.com unprotected. Vegas will not draft him.

Dafuq am I looking at? It looks like a CAD drawing of a die for use in Dungeons and Dragons.

Yandle to Florida, there's one off the list.
