This is exactly how I feel. We have like 16 million dollars in cap space use it! So what if you overpay a little. We need this guy more than ever now. Then trade Mule+ for Enstrom and sign Doan or Mueller and our team isn't looking half bad. Were still bringing in some youth but were also being very competitive. C'mon Holland do something already!

This is why we need to add forwards via free agency and d-men through trades. I think we have to get semin or this season is gonna be a complete wash! (sick of Pav carrying garbage for 82+ games every season)

Who cares about 4 years. The guys one of the most talented players in the NHL! Give him 4 years 6-6.5 mill per and call it a day. It's free agency your gonna have to overpay to get. There's no way we should be thinking trade for Nash or Ryan we need d-man like enstrom, and yandle. Just get it done Kenny and stop wasting cap space by not using it.

My thoughts exactly! What do you think it would take?

Like I said in another thread tr best plan B would be to sign semin, and doan/ mueller. ( Doans better player, but older. Mueller not as good but cheaper and only 24 and he has star potential) then trade mule, Tatar/pulk and a 1st/2nd to Winnipeg for enstrom. Enstrom is very underrated, I would be ecstatic with this plan and I really do feel like it can be done. What do you think?

Not both Tatar and pulk just one of the two. Me personally I would do this in a heartbeat. Enstrom is the perfect wing! We lose the franzen contract as well.

He needs to sign semin, and mueller or doan. Trade the mule, Tatar or pulk plus a 1st for enstrom from Winnipeg. Go with: Nyquist- pav- semin Fil- zetterberg- mueller/doan Brunner- helm- Sammy Clearly/Bert- Abby-totoo Enstrom- big e Kronwall- smith Quincey- white Kindl I believe that team may not win the cup but it will compete and have at least an outside chance

After hearing the comments about young guys stepping up and rookies getting a chance to play its sounds as though Holland isn't going to make a real big move or signing. Holland is really getting on my last nerve. Never pulls the trigger or takes any risks. Kenny you better do something or this team is gonna have a real tough competing and in serious trouble to make the playoffs. Worst part is that pav and Z aren't getting any younger. Holland please sign semin, and deal for enstrom! Please!!

Change Filppula for franzen and I'm all for that roster!!

The most I would go is franzen, 1st, and pulk or Tatar. If they don't take that then i walk away

If the wings strike out on Suter (which it looks like they are) what would it take to get this guy in a wings uni for next year??

Hell ya!! Guy could be the biggest steal of free-agency!! So much talent!

Ya like seriously who would honestly wanna play for the most boring team in the NHL. If they both go there they will never win a cup in there career.

Ya that's a deal breaker then. Love enstrom but that's too much to give up for him

Well ya you are correct on dumping franzen wouldn't be smart without having the production in place before. My dream scenario (without suter obviously) would be signing semin and mueller. Trading franzen, mcDonald, tatar/pulk and a first for enstrom. I would possibly go both Tatar and pulk if need be. What would you think of that??

I was hoping maybe like Franzen, 1st, and Tatar or Pulk

That's a great lineup but there is no way in hell that package gets us Yandle. Edit: Haha sorry didn't read the bottom my bad.

So what do you think it would take to acquire Enstrom??

http://www.thefastertimes.com/hockey/2012/07/04/ryan-suter-signs-with-minnesota-wild-nhl-free-agency-2012/ Not saying its true, just saying things don't look good on the Suter front as of now.

If no suter. Anyone think we can make a play for enstrom??

This would be my ideal lineup if the cap is at 70 mill for the season. CAPGEEK.COM USER GENERATED ROSTER My Custom Lineup FORWARDS Gustav Nyquist ($0.875m) / Pavel Datsyuk ($6.700m) / Alexander Semin ($5.500m) Valtteri Filppula ($3.000m) / Henrik Zetterberg ($6.083m) / Zach Parise ($7.000m) Danny Cleary ($2.800m) / Johan Franzen ($3.955m) / Todd Bertuzzi ($2.075m) Justin Abdelkader ($1.200m) / Darren Helm ($1.750m) / Patrick Eaves ($1.200m) Drew Miller ($0.838m) / Jan Mursak ($0.550m) / DEFENSEMEN Ryan Suter ($7.000m) / Jonathan Ericsson ($3.250m) Niklas Kronwall ($4.750m) / Ian White ($2.875m) Brendan Smith ($0.875m) / Justin Schultz ($1.500m) Scott Hannan ($1.350m) / GOALTENDERS Jimmy Howard ($2.250m) Josh Harding ($1.300m) ------ CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter) (these totals are compiled without the bonus cushion) SALARY CAP: $70,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $68,675,379; BONUSES: $37,500 CAP SPACE (23-man roster): $1,624,621 Sign Suter and Parise to long 8+ year contracts at a cap hit of 7 mill each. Sign Alex Semin to a 3 year 16.5 million dollar contract. Cap hit of 5.5. Sign Justin Schultz to a contract worth 1.5 mill a year. Add Scott Hannan to help with the depth on the back end. Trade Quinceys, and Staurts rights for whatever possible. As well as Kindl for picks or prospects. Up front: Line 1: Nyquist-Datsyuk-Semin. Pav gets his Russian that he's always wanted and Nyquist brings speed and skill to present nightmares for opposition teams. Line 2: Filppula-Zetterberg-Parise. We all know Hank and Fils chemistry, add Parise and you got potentially the best top 6 forward group in the league. Line 3: Cleary-Franzen-Bertuzzi. Im unsure of this line, but for a 3rd line it should add some scoring. Hopefully Cleary is healthy and Franzen plays like he gives a damn. It's a big line that should be able to grind it out and add some offense. Line 4: Abdelkader-Helm-Eaves. This would be one of if not the best 4th line in hockey. Speed, skill, and lots of jam and energy. (Played very well 2 years ago against Sharks in 2nd round) Back-end: Suter- Big E: Should be a good pairing to help Big E progress. Suter well is Suter he speaks for himself. Kronwall- White: Sorta in the same mold as the Lidstrom-White pairing of this season, obviously Kronwall not as good, but should be a solid pairing Smith-Schultz: Interesting pairing, may be flamed for this one but put the two kids together, and let them have fun. There gonna make great plays, as well as not so great ones but a full season should give them experience for the future. (Smith has played NHL games and was very impressive, and I have no doubt he will have a very solid campaign) Netminders: Howard Harding Solid goaltending, Howard the number one, but Harding is there to play a solid amount of games and push him. That would be my ideal lineup what do you guys think??

We need to sign this got and get some yound d-men talent in the system. Him and Dekeyser would be awesome!

Sad, sad day in hockeytown tomorrow. Nick you will be missed greatly. One of my favourites of all time. So much talent, so much intelligence, but most of all so much class. He's a better person than he is a hockey player and that says a lot. Thank you Nick for everything

flips slap shot vs pheonix. franzen goal vs st.louis datsyuk's backhand goals vs st.louis and pit Datsyuk's ridiculous angle shot vs sharks

I think it's a suspension, but my god 25? I've seen worse this playoffs. Yes players didn't get hurt but that doesn't mean the guy shouldn't be suspended cause the guy didn't get injured. Sick joke NHL! Sick joke shanahan your a bum!!
