Moving Jimmy Howard
krsmith17 and 2 others reacted to GoWings1905 for a post in a topic
No. I wouldn't even consider it until next summer. 1. The Red Wings are a better team with both Mrazek and Howard than with any pieces they could possibly get for Howard. 2. Howard was a really good goalie until January last season and Mrazek hasn't seen the grind of a full NHL season yet. 3. What's the insurance policy if you trade Howard and Mrazek gets hurt? -

Considering what they achieved the Islanders seem like the most overlooked dynasty in NHL history. 4 Stanley Cups in a row (Montreal is the only other team to better that feat and it was in the original 6 years) Won 19 consecutive playoff series (a completely untouchable record) and posted a 60-18 post season record They accomplished all this only 8 years after their creation as an expansion team. -

I forgot Matt Cooke was bought out by the Wild. I'm guessing some team will pick him up for cheap, but I hold out hope this will be the year that POS is finally out of the league. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/818372 -

1st time we have a somewhat solid tandem right in a while right? Why would anyone break that up? -

Unless someone offered us something we cant refuse, keep Howard. His value is low right now and we wont get alot for him. Best case for us is both play great this year and then in the offseason someone needs a goalie and we have some leverage. Plus, Mrazek without a safety net scares me a bit. -

This. People either forget about this, or they're blinded by the "newness" of Petr. These are some save percentages he posted last season - usually a rough outing, followed by a very solid one: .840 - .971 .813 - .933 .857 - .962 .667 - .957 .765 - .977 .895 - 1.000Clearly, he's got the ability to bounce back after ugly games, but he's gotta work on his consistency. So yeah, I definitely agree. It's good to have another solid goalie while he develops... you know, like that Jimmy Howard guy. -

Exactly. Mrazek/McCollum would be scary. Jimmy is'nt going anywhere yet. No need to pull a San Jose and head into the season with two goalies with a combined 83 NHL games under their belts. Mrazek won't be going anywhere. -

Everyone seems to only remember the shutouts that Mrazek got, and completely forget the very next game when he was consistently pulled. Mrazek had one good playoff series and a very inconsistent regular season, and that's not enough to give him the number 1 job and get rid of the insurance. -

Not until we have a reliable back up for Mrazek is Jimmy expendable. Our other goalie prospects are barely fit for 3rd string duties right now. -

A couple more short pieces on Arbour if any of the youngin's here who may not know who he was are interested. Definitely one of the greatest coaches of all time. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/818109 http://www.tsn.ca/hhof-coach-arbour-passes-away-1.352204 -

The goalie market might be flooded next summer. Allen is likely going to replace Elliot in St.Louis. Gibson will likely be succeeding Andersson in Anaheim. Those,goalies are already splitting starts. Trading Jimmy might be harder than we think. -

You're nutz lol. You've haven't watched him in juniors or the AHL. He's more than capable of being a #1 goalie. -

roboturner reacted to LeftWinger for a post in a topic
I am sure glad someone else made this thread and not me! Jimmy WILL be moved before 16-17, unless Mrazek totally takes a crap fest this season (which I highly doubt,) because solid tandem or not, Holland cannot and will not have over $8M (at least) tied up in his goalies. And that is IF Mrazek re-signs for only $3M. If he wins 25+ games and takes them into the 2nd round at least, I see him getting closer to $4M. NO WAY will Holland have that much money tied up in goalies. For all you Holland slappies out there (and even me from a financial standpoint) you better hope that Howard outplays and keeps his starting job all season and limits Petr's starts to 20 or less. That way, Petr may re-sign for something around $2M, which could keep Jimmy around for another season. But then again, if Petr goes 17-3 or so in those 20 starts and Jimmy DOES re-gain his #1 form, that could mean more in return for him next summer. Either way, as Mrazek continues his progression the way he has been, Jimmy's days are dwindling, that is the truth. Lets just hope we can get great value for him when it comes times to trade him....and he cooperates by listing 10 or so teams he will or won't go to. In Edmonton, I would love to see him Packaged with Smith and Sproul and a pick (or maybe a young forward) to acquire one of their scorers (Taylor Hall maybe.) -

Stadium series Wings vs Avs 2016!
PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to barabbas16 for a post in a topic
Haha - I did not foresee that interpretation. No, I hope that Datsyuk remains a productive part of the team as long as his former 'professor' did.I was just making the comparison that Datsyuk was about as much a part of the rivalry as Rob Blake was. -

Dan Cleary re-signing still possible?
PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to jimmyemeryhunter for a post in a topic
That's why I stay away from every "the hockey writers" article, usually mlive has somewhat decent content.Slow off season though, ken Holland brought in good ufas, and bought out Weiss, so there's nothing else to complain about, just speculating and hoping for his next slip up. -

I wouldn't mind. He needs to play his way up, though. His stock can't be too high the way last season ended. -

No team in sports will ever win 19 consecutive playoff series again. Too much parity now. Those Islander teams are probably my favorite dynasty in NHL history. -

Wings hire Bryan Campbell as Director of Statistical Analysis
ami reacted to Euro_Twins for a post in a topic
I wish this site had a sarcasm button. I like the analytical part of the game too, I may not always fully understand it but I do think it is a very useful tool I'm pretty sure that's inaccurate, at least a bit. Babs was very happy last summer when we got an analytics guy, so much so he let him do quite a bit and eventually took him go to Toronto with him. Guy even got to pick our shootout guys too -

Adidas Gets NHL Jersey Deal
wings4thecup06 reacted to frankgrimes for a post in a topic
I too like some of their products, specially the sneakers and beach wear. But the truth is they aren't a hockey company and it's just another evidence that the guys running this league would risk their own life if they saw a few cents on the street. Graf makes the best and most comfortable skates out there, they do have a hockey background and have been in the business of hockey since forever. Adidas' only hockey background is buying CCM ... The best thing would have been if each team decides on their own, this stupid league has to much power over the teams. Marek versus Wishinsky just talked about that new deal also and some ideas are just hilarious like sponsored icing, PIMs I can see it now this fight was proudly brought to you by Hayabusa...Soon NHL players will look like walking billboards .
