    Trade deadline fast approaching - who should we target?

    Correction Holland is drawn to the safe route but he never takes any route. Just stands at his window looking at all the traffic.

    Come on there is no need to be an Ass you guys disagree, just leave it at that.

    Somewhere Holland is sitting on his toilet made of gold, and laughing at all of us.

    To be fair not sure he wants to convert anyone. Just defending his stance/contesting his point.

    Did he? It's probably just me but Subban reminds me of Avery. Lots of talent, Subban obviously more then Avery, but both guys to selfish to realize how good they could be.

    Subban needs a guy that will call him out on his s***. Someone like Torts

    I like Ehrhoff but if we're going to spend on a top defenceman, we also better get a top forward or the assets spent on Ehrhoff would be waisted. Well maybe not totally waisted but wouldn't bring the Wings to where they want to be.

    Does that mean we're moving on to offense now? Joking... Or am I?... No I'm joking, or... It seems like a long day.

    Disagreeing with you makes me drunk? Come on son. Seriously? I actually have nothing to say to that. This thread seems to be spinning out of control.

    I've been wanting Yandle for a couple years now but he makes too much sense for Holland to actually make it happen.

    Love Kesler's toughness but no way he comes here. We have a better chance of landing the Sedins.

    No I don't think that at all. But don't bring up Subban the guy is a complete tool.

    I recognize the difference, but the numbers that Chara and Pronger put up offensively are much more then just chipping in. The offensive defenceman has changed, there won't be a pure offensive defenseman anymore; teams put too much of a premium on defense. Just look at Kronwall, he came up as a pure offensive d man, but has evolved into more of a defensive role. My argument is that teams put an emphasis on defense which has changed the traditional offensive defenceman.

    How many defenceman do you know that take the puck end to end anymore? Are there any left? The offensive defenceman has evolved with the times.

    You can't seriously be trying to tell me that Pronger and Chara don't create offense? Come on. Anyway, as far as Myers goes maybe I don't watch him enough but as a fall back from the big boys I think he would be an upgrade.

    Chara is not as big of an offensive force anymore because they inexplicably put him in front of the net and not blasting shots from the point on the PP. Whose bright idea was that? Hated the guy but damn was Pronger awesome, shame what happened to him he still had a few good years left.

    Not sure what your point is since Chara and Pronger are offensive D-man that play good defense. Myers is also an offensive d-man he's just not as good defensively. Bad contract but still only 24.

    I don't care if we trade Quincey for a bag of Doritos. Mmmmm nacho cheese.... But I digress, you make Myers sound like the second coming of Lebda. He's a good not great player but he's certainly not as horrible as you make him seem. Yeah, he's been bad lately, but so was Cleary before Holland signed him. I think he would do great in the Wings environment. Erhoff and Edler would be preferable but would cost an arm and a leg, and if I'm overpaying I'd rather get a scorer.

    I think where there is a disconnect is classifying Myers as a defensive defenceman. To me he is much more of an offensive guy. Kinda like mike Green but not as good.

    Trade deadline fast approaching - who should we target?

    All valid points, but sometimes a change of scenery will do wonders for a player. Tough to get excited playing for the Sabres night in and night out. Plus with his contract maybe just maybe we wouldn't have to over pay.

    I'm sending out positive thoughts out into the universe and hoping they stick.

    I'm gonna try some reverse physiology, I'm going to keep saying that Holland won't make a move in the hope that he does.

    Sweep the leg.

    Have you seen some of the GM's out there? I think Holland can hold his own.

    Ryan Miller, Steve Ott traded to St. Louis Blues

    I actually don't care, we don't need Miller and I'm not a fan of Ott.
