teebo

People like him do not belong in the game.
10 games.

How come every trade deadline when someone suggests a player for the Wings all the Holland poodles come out and yap about how "successful" the team's been? Like adding a veteran Dman or goalie would totally disrupt everything and keep them from going deeper in the playoffs or possibly even winning the Cup.
The team is not perfect and neither is Holland, we don't have to hear his resume everytime a trade idea pops up.

Helm has 24 points with much less PIM (which doesn't mean s*** to me really other than you are just hurting your team more) and a +7. Who do you want? His mouth by far and well see all of Doc's response.

His attitude.
His dives.
His lack of respect for his teammates (See: Yzerman comment).
Take your pick.

+/- isn't a stupid stat. It does mean something. However like every other stat, you can't measure people based on one stat alone, but rather the combination of them all.

In my opinion, I don't think he possesses the NHL-caliber talent. I've seen him more than enough in Grand Rapids and he never stood out, except for the repeated mistakes and turnovers. Sure, I'll give some benefit-of-the-doubt on the "Rookie" option, but after watching him play, he's not making "rookie" mistakes and learning, he's repeating the same mistakes continously. Maybe he may just not be "fully cooked", I don't know. But I just don't see the NHL-caliber defenseman in his play.

There was some rampant craziness during this game but Martin's cheapshot was almost a mirror image of Bert's big mistake. Imagine being Bert and seeing this, just because the Pen didn't fall and essentially break his neck, Martin will live life like nothing happened while Bert is forever scarred by his situation.
Gillies is a tool. That showing was disgraceful at best.

The suspensions:
Godard PIT - 10 games
Gillies NYI - 9 games (not enough in my mind)
Martin NYI - 4 games
NYI as a whole - $100,000 fine

That experience and you don't realize that fights don't win games? I don't know about you, but I'd rather win games than win fights.
Who would you rather be?
Detroit- 2nd fewest penalty minutes, 4th in overall points.
St. Louis- 4th most penalty minutes, 23rd in overall points.

That was pathetic... He threw a flying elbow and then tried to beat up a kid in his 5th NHL game. I'm all for fights, but the crap the he did and Martin almost assulting Talbot is stupid. Thats not hockey...

that was garbage, i agree. and then he sits there flapping his mustache at him while he's down.

Yeah, I agree Pens commentators are complete homers.
But both teams are completely deserving of the blame, it was quite a pathetic showing for both teams. It was a gong show in every sense of the word. There will be several suspensions for both teams. Really embarrassing for the league imho.

Did you even watch the game? Hillen, Gilles all just jumped Penguin's players.
Both teams were complete embarrassments. That was not a hockey game.

If this is your attempt at post fapping with terrible stand-up type shtick, you win the internet.

Kenny Holland says...Mike Modano, Brad Stuart and Chris Osgood are our trade deadline acquisitions.

Carrie Underwood's husband traded to the team of the country music capital? I smell a bigger story.

So wait, not only did the wings not get him (which sucks cause he was high on my wish list) but he is going to a division rivsl as well? Well atleast ill get to see him play more often...

So two years of this idiot and two years of sloppy, sloppy, play. I also heard they thought he was a idiot when he coached the defence in Atlanta. So will we see a coaching change with the defence or will Babcock keep him on staff? If he goes what are some potential replacements as I am tired Of Detroit looking so sloppy in their own end.

Nope, each randomly drafted Islanders player gets to sign an additional player. This player becomes their "bus-buddy" so that nobody gets lost or traded before an away game.

I 2nd everything you said.

That was just a touch unnecessary don't ya think?
Anyways,...If Ozzie is done for the year we need a better back up,..stupid islanders.

Capwise you have to move someone, if Osgood doesn't get traded his contract counts, even if he retires or goes to the AHL.
Thats why I gave up on figuring out the backup this year, its Osgood.

I'm not mad, and like i said 2 1sts is more than generous, thats what i'd be willing to do.
I was more hoping people would post what they would do, not how bad my GM skills are
In my assumptions, Lidstrom plays 2 more years
Conklin would have been the goalie i'd have picked, and got Matthias or Frolik from FL, but, Ozzy isn't going to retire, so we wouldn't really have room, and I don't think Kenny forces Ozzy to quit before the season is over.

Meech, 2nd round pick to Ott for Campoli.
Hudler, Salei, 2 1st round picks to Fla for Weiss.
I did the numbers on the trade machine at CG and it all should fit, im not great with ltir.
Z-D-H---------------------------Lids-Big E
Mule-Flip-Cleary-------------Kron-Raffi
Eaves-Weiss-Bert ----------Camper-Stuart
Abs-Helm-Miller-------------Kindl
Draper
Modano(March)
Howard
Ozzy(March)
Campoli is doing better than Salei, I think with his age he will adapt better, get a chance to play on the 2nd pairing, make it a clear fight between Big-E and Kindl,and he's a RFA after this season.
Weiss is great, I see him alot here in FL, he would do great in our system and he is under contract for 2 more years. That would end the Modano experiment.
No backup needed till next year, MacDonald will just have to step up till the Oz man cometh.
Best I could do.
What do you guys got?

In comparison to your suggestions, mine look amazing.
Florida is on the edge, if they sink Tallon is going to rebuild, and Weiss has been a name thrown around alot, its not something I made up.
Hence the two 1st round picks, which I think is more than generous considering.
Hudler, Salei are salary dump in my plan and are needed one way or another to make the transactions, also FL would need some players to round out the lineup if they are selling off more players.
(McCabe, Reasoner, Frolik, Matthias, Vokoun, etc)
But, seriously, you come on to the post and do the opposite of what I was asking all around. Classy.
Should have labeled "Duck Hunt Trade Ideas"
