I couldn't agree more. More turnovers than Chris Simon can shake a stick at.

Exactly, and you really don't have to go any further than this thread to find stupidity.

No.

While I have never been a vocal supporter of Holland, I've never been a vocal detractor. A fence rider I guess. Going as far to speculate Bert isn't completely healthy this year, but builds a relationship, re-signs, and is productive next year, without a doubt, Holland will have gotten the most for the least at the deadline.

Matt, Previous to the Bertuzzi deal going down, did you read somewhere about the possibility of conditional draft picks for him? When I heard the details of the deal, I thought of your response to my statement in another thread that Detroit should just stand pat.

Seriously.....get a grip.

Thanks Matt!

That is interesting. Roberts really has all the leverage in this situation if this is a real offer.

I would say that Calder and Williams will have different sweaters on tomorrow.

Stormtiger, you're so smart. I'm glad there is someone on this board that finds humor in making statements that just incite the general population. Especially statements that have been rehashed over and over and over and over again. It is just so unique of you to make this kind of post. I don't think anyone in the history of the internet and message boards has ever thought of doing it. Good job brotha! I mean, where do you find your inspiration for such posts? You must be tired now from all the effort. Maybe you should lie down and take it easy for a bit, as it would be shame to wear yourself out. Tomorrow is a big day, and you need to be fresh. Just in case I have not made my point, thanks again. My night can now proceed after reading your posts in this thread.

Here ya go... http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=197808&hubname= Edit: Forget it....not sure why this thread was only 1 page when I loaded it initially when people were questioning if this was legit. Looks like I am waaaay behind.

Stunned.

I had to leave my desk and I missed what they reported on XYT.

Just talked to a co-worker about this, we have the same thoughts. I would be shocked if it wasn't one of those three teams. Does Buffalo have the cap room? Where exactly would he play in Pittsburgh?

WXYT is set to report on "a player the Wings are chasing"....not sure if it is related.

WXYT is going to comment on a report about "a player the Wings are chasing", hmmmmmm

Something like that seems reasonable in our eyes, but is that was the Panthers are asking? In that scenario they would basically be swallowing a conditional draft pick for sending Luongo packing last year. I doubt Bert is on the move, especially for that price. Who else did Florida get in that trade last year? Hmmmmm, I haven't thought about the Wings becoming sellers. I like it. With that said, Holland would never do it.

This trade is absolutely ludicrous. If Tkachuk does resign, four picks in the first three rounds in 07 and 08. Holland is right, if the prices do not come down, stand pat, don't make one single move.

Not to mention, he was utilized incorrectly. I remember Hitler putting him on the point during the PP. He turned over the puck, was defenseless to stop the skater from going around him, and a short handed goal was scored. I don't know if he is still a huge pylon, because I haven't watched enough Flyers games to know, but I do like the idea of him sitting on the bench to stop the cheap shots Dats and Zetter keep taking. Babcock can talk all he wants about this team being big and tough enough, but they won't be come playoff time. I would disagree with you BM on one thing, I would bet he is slower than Chelios.

On a Friday night in Mid-October? Shoot, late October - early November? You better have away games on Friday and Saturday nights until the beginning of December, because you would be lucky to draw 5,000 to a game. Plus, that is just too close to Dallas. If another city in Texas gets a hockey team ( I can't believe I just said that) it would be Houston. I think they have an already decent hockey market with the Aeros and a big population to support another pro sports team. I could be wrong about that, but Austin is definitely not a fit.

I really do not know how I feel about Carter being a Wing.

Wasting time responding in this thread.

I always remember Markov being physical with Philly and Nashville. While he is injury prone, all of those injuries are because he plays a hard nosed type of game. Those injuries have also been during the last two years, so maybe the guy has just had a string of bad luck.

Hoping it is Markov..I think he would be excellent paired with Schneids or Lids Actually, I like our top six with Markov... Lids - Markov Kronwall - Schneid Chelios - Lebda
