Franzen-Datsyuk-Parise Filppula-Zetterberg-Cleary(Nyquist) Bertuzzi-Helm-Nyquist(Cleary) Miller-Abdelkader-Eaves is a much better line-up Nyquist should not be on the 4th line he has way to much skill and talent and could easily jump up and play on that 2nd line

Abbott is my buddies little brother who plays at the Uni of Maine along side with another Wings prospect Gustav Nyquist, He's not the biggest guy at 5'9 180 Lbs but can do it all. Just saying maybe consider him in the later rounds !

Just talked to Abbott's older brother he told me the Wings have contacted Spencers agent along with 19 other teams so far, but nothing until after the season is over, teams just want there interest to be known

Nick Foligno Luca Sbisa andrew cogliano mark giordano non playing mike modano mark recci mike peca bates battaglia tony esposito phil esposito marty turco tony granato rick tocchet pretty sure all these guys have italian heritage to defintly could do better now with some of these names

To TB- McCullum,Brunnstrom(or a prospect),and a pick To Det- Purcell purcell is a big body right hand shot can put up some points and has good speed maybe Holland can swing a deal with TB and Stevey saying it doesnt look like they are making the playoffs and need a possible shake up

To Det- Nash To Columbus- Cleary,Kindl,2012 2nd round,maybe a young goalie saying Mason has completely fallen apart last couple seasons, McCollum,Mrazek not sure if we still have rights to Larsson even you have to look at the Kovalchuk deal i would think as somewhat the same type of package To Atl- Cormier,Bergfors,Oduya,1st round pick,2nd round pick To Nj- Kovalchuk,Salmela,2nd round pick

During the Leaf game Ferraro i guess didnt realize they were still on the air and was talking to someone making fun of his voice....here's a link http://www.thescore.com/buzz/articles/223439-ray-ferraro-mocks-dion-phaneuf

Thefourthperiod.com has a list of the "top 25" players rumored to be available, they have these players listed as linked to Red Wing rumors Ales Hemsky Ryan Suter Tuomo Ruutu Travis Moen Samuel Pahlsson Evgeni Nabakov On Parise i wouldnt mind at all giving up some picks to get him, we are usually drafting late 1st round anyway and the odds that some of our later picks turn into a player anywhere close to the talent Parise is, is slim.....I am usually against trading picks but in this case with a player that has never really missed any games up until the broken leg/ankle or whatever it was and is still a young player im all for it

thats why im saying get a package done for Bobby Ryan and Brookbank,...Stuart,Hudler picks/prospects....or something

just go BIG,With the Ducks almost 100% out of the playoffs get a deal done for Ryan, Stuart will be out in California which seems like he wants to be back out there and the Ducks get much needed help on D TO ANA- Stuart,Hudler,1st or 2nd round pick, and a prospect To DET- Ryan and Brookbank or something like that....

Dont get me wrong i think Hemsky is a good player with a ton of talent its just the fact that he is soft and injured every year 02-03(59GP) 03-04(71GP) 05-06(81GP) 06-07(64GP) 07-08(74GP) 08-09(72GP) 09-10(22GP) 10-11(47GP) which i believe is something like 166 missed games

TFP and other people have reported Wings being interested in Suter and Parise (in the off-season) or both in the off-season but not at deadline other reports say Hemsky, I would much rather trade for Parise then Hemsky any day of the week!

or the Flames

Back to LA my guess is Vancouver

I like the big power forward style guys to but the game is changing and size really doesnt matter in the league anymore a few guys throughout the line up does it, speed and skill is the new NHL , thats all im saying

So what do we need a 6'5 220 that hits/fights and doesnt put up PTS.....?

Weiss?.....no thanks Zetterberg for Ryan,Parise,Nash or something like that maybe Weiss not so much

Abbott in for Hobey Baker this year ! i say we reunite Nyquist and Abbott !!! 19GP 33PTS so far this season

I don't know about that Franzen,Stuart and Hudler for Ryan IMO is defintly an overpayment

I think holland obviously wants to win a Cup every year but im sure even more so if it is Lidstroms last season, Prospects like Mrzek and Pulkinen had pretty awesome WJ Tournys just the amount prospects/young guys we have are huge right now and could package some to make some real nice deals!.....Cormier,Oduya,Bergfors for Kovalchuk?....sooooo Stuart,Hudler,Emmerton and a pick for Parise and Volchenkov ? lol Tatar Pulkinen Mrzek Ferraro Emmerton Nyquist Kindl Smith Andersson McCullom and thats just off the top of my head, i think Holland made a mistake from day one in signing both Miller and Eaves i dont think he expected Emmerton,Nyquist to be as good/ready

I dont think they would move Perry after the season he had last year thats why i think they move Getzlaf or Ryan

I thought i heard Selanne,Fowler were the only untouchables could be wrong though, even if Hudler slips a little could be a good deal for the Ducks you save 2mill from Ryan to Hudler even if they choose to resign him around the same next season it will give them that extra cap space 1-2mill to spend elsewhere and still leaves key pieces like Perry,Getzlaf,Stuart,Fowler even Hudler on a 2nd,3rd line/PP unit, also like i said Hudler as of right now i believe has the same amount of PTS as Ryan and Brookbank together then you throw in Stuart and a pick or prospect thats pretty good, but ya i agree with you about Hudler needing to to keep putting up PTS until the deadline

The only way i think Stuart gets traded is if another D comes back in the deal or the Wings drop out of the playoffs and i would bet anything that doesnt happen how about this deal To ANA-Stuart,Hudler and a pick or prospect To Det-Ryan,Brookbank Sure Ryan has more potential but as of right now hudler has 2more PTS, it also gives ANA the option of resigning Hudler or spending money elsewhere in the off-season, they get help on the back end which they need badly and for the Wings they get Ryan a big guy right hand shot and potential through the roof to put up big numbers and Brookbank adds some toughness and not to bad on the back end , he wont put up to many PTS but can shutdown pretty good and is a at the end of the season
