    Pulkkinen sent back to GR

    This is honestly what I thought we'd see when Holland grabbed Cole. I liked the way Abby-Z-Cole looked last night, but man... break them up if it keeps Glendening out of the top-six. I can't believe I even have to type that...

    In all seriousness, if Babs leaves this offseason, what's the over/under on him acquiring Glendening?

    Welp. It's official. Glendening is the new Cleary. Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 2m2 minutes ago Babcock said Glendening will play with Datsyuk and Tatar. He wants someone to do some work for those guys.

    Pulkkinen sent back to GR

    It's not really about moving him. Hindsight is 20-20, but a few people around here thought he would have been better off starting the season in GR. There's almost no point in doing it now.

    Hopefully, Pulkkinen coming back up changes this: Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 2m2 minutes ago Glendening has replaced Jurco on the line with Datsyuk and Tatar. 0 replies6 retweets4 favorites

    Nyquist's RFA Status

    I'm of a similar mindset - my guess was/is a four-year deal worth 4.2-4.5 per. My buddy brought up Z's deal after his ELC (I think it was 2.4 or 2.8 million, right?), and Tatar's bridge deal. I don't think it's the same situation, especially considering he's only got a year of RFA status and not two.

    3/6 GDT : Flames 5 at Red Wings 2

    I lied about a slow start...

    Red Wings acquire Marek Zidlicky from NJ for Cond. 2016 3rd Round Pick

    Mike Babcock thinks Brendan Smith is a defensive stalwart. I don't know what you guys are talking about...

    3/6 GDT : Flames 5 at Red Wings 2

    I think Jurco's issue is that he's going to try to do too much on that line, because he wants to stay up there. Ironically, if he just plays a simple game, there's a much better chance he'll work himself into a top-six (more likely top-nine) role. His skill will take over if he keeps it simple. My guess is the team will look much better tonight. I doubt they'll start strong, but I see them taking over in the 2nd and 3rd periods.

    3/4 GDT : Rangers 1 at Red Wings 2 (OT)

    Am I the only one who thought Quincey had a rough game? I'm not blaming him, but I thought his skating was really choppy. I think he's had a fantastic season, but if his ankle injury is going to cause an issue, he should take care of it. Perhaps he just had an "off" game. Maybe I'm imagining things. I'm 100% behind a healthy Quincey in the line-up. Hopefully he looks better next game.

    Both FLA goaltenders injured in same game

    Babs said they'd go with Bedard or Holland (I assume he's joking about Kenny). http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2015/03/04/babcock-hopes-new-line-lights-fire-jurco/24379497/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter The best part of the article, though:

    3/4 GDT : Rangers 1 at Red Wings 2 (OT)

    Yeah. I just found the quote. You posted it yesterday, actually. Must've been what I was thinking. Holland says of Marchenko, "I want him in the lineup, or I want him playing in Grand Rapids...I'd rather have them [young players] playing than being here and practicing" So... consensus pick for the healthy scratch on defense = Smith? Maybe he can start a wrestling career and re-form the Motor City Machine Guns.

    3/4 GDT : Rangers 1 at Red Wings 2 (OT)

    http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=37665 I feel like this might have been taken out of context, though. Didn't Babs just say that he wanted Marchenko to play here OR go back down and play in the AHL - just not sitting as the 7th defender? I feel like NHL only used part of the quote. Edit: Holland said it, not Babcock.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    Interesting lines from practice: Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 36s36 seconds ago Lines: Jurco-Datsyuk-Tatar Abdelkader-Zetterberg-Cole Weiss-Sheahan-Nyquist Miller-Andersson-Glendening Cleary rotating in.

    Red Wings acquire Marek Zidlicky from NJ for Cond. 2016 3rd Round Pick

    He's been cleared - intends to put off surgery, if he can. http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2015/02/red_wings_kyle_quincey_cleared.html

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    Not sure if it's already been posted here, but the team seemed to suggest he'll wind up with Z. Jennifer Hammond @HammerFox2 · 2h2 hours ago Ken Holland calls the trades to get Zidlicky and Cole more of depth moves. Mentioned Erik Cole playing on a line with Zetterberg. #Wings And are Cleary and Cole REALLY being compared? Cole's scored more goals than Cleary's played this year.

    Red Wings acquire Marek Zidlicky from NJ for Cond. 2016 3rd Round Pick

    I think some people are going to be disappointed. Healthy Quincey = Marchenko out of the line-up IMO, the most realistic outcome here is Kronwall-Ericsson, DD-Quincey & Smith-Zidlicky

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    So... he's not gritty because a team traded him? Huh? He's got 116 hits in 57 games with Dallas this year. Most of his goals are scored right in front of the net. Cole's going to provide a solid net-front presence.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    Nope. Honestly, I was just thinking of the next game.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    I'm thinking something like: Nyquist-Z-Abby Tatar-Datsyuk-Cole Weiss-Sheahan-Pulkkinen Miller-Glendening-Andersson

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    I doubt they make a move on defense, now. I was thinking that 2nd rounder would be involved. Not sure they give up a 1st and risk not having anything until the 4th round.

    Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

    Janmark was 100% going to be stuck behind quite a few players. Athanasiou doing so well this season probably gave KH the confidence to move Janmark.

    Quincey... Surgery coming?

    It's amazing what a good season will do for a guy. Quincey injured in early October: "Meh. Cool. Maybe now we can call someone up." Quincey injured in late February: "****." For the record, I'd be one of those people in October. KFQ has surpassed my expectations (which were pretty low, but still).

    Patrick Kane, out anywhere from a month to rest of the season

    I don't think it was dirty or embellishment - honestly, I think Kane just lost an edge there.
