We might actually have to use spots on Larkin and Athanasiou f*** Apparently cause by the end of next season they both would be 2nd year pro's .... Guessing athanasiou cause he'd have played over 25 games this year .. Mantha would be safe cause he'd played 10-15 assuming he sticks rest of the season Mike green has to be made available at the expansion draft if we do have to have 25% of cap space Available , he'd only have one more year left on his deal so it would be stupid to protect him ... As well as him not living up to expectations Oh boy ...apparently dregger said pone year of pro would count , even if it's in the ahl , so we'd have to protect mantha as well I'm sure teams are gonna fight this like crazy

The nhl wants the new expansion team(s) to be competitive and not suck for 10 years so some decent NHL players will be made available ... They want teams to have 25% of the salary to be made available This really ruins and plans we had to get rid of Howard I think Howard green Ericsson will be left unprotected , that's 16 million right there and I'd say right above 20 percent of the cap? Those 3 could be the high priced guys we could lose With the the rules protecting first year and 2nd year players we have no need to worry about losing Tatar/and nyquist to waivers Assuming pavel holds off Zetterberg abdelkader Tatar nyquist sheahan glendening jurco , could be our 7 depending on whether helm returns or if we get anyone as a ufa or through trade

We will trade Tatar and/or nyquist before we lose them for nothing Expect a bunch of trades on the draft day We could protect jurco and sheahan if datsyuk signs till after the expansion draft and the kids don't count Might as well sign helm for 2-3 years and make him available for the draft .... Might as well be us instead of whoever signs him

There's talk that 25% of salary has to be made available for the expansion Also something about first year players or 2nd year players could be safe ...also players in Grand Rapids who are signed prospects could be available? So much nonsense out there Also players who are to be available for expansion have to be signed for the 2017-2018 season so I think we're safe with pavel ... All he has to do is sign after the draft and were good with a spot Heard teams will sign players to 2 year deals this summer to make them available for the expansion team, and expect a lot of trades at the day of the draft Forwards I'd protect Assuming pavel signs after Mantha Larkin athanasiou zetterberg abdelkader nyquist Tatar Defense Kronwall dekeyser ouellet/marchenko All that could change depending on the rules with first and 2nd year players and who's dealt or not ... Could see a nyquist being dealt at the day of the draft , and I'd rather keep a young dman than 6 million dollar green

Haha ... Don't the old topics dissapear after a while ? Thanks though , I'll check it out ... Sorry for opening up another topic guys

Rather have ouellet who's more responsible than smith who takes stupid penalties and can't cover anybody

Wow ... f***en embarrassing We just threw away 2 points Can we just call up mantha already? All this skill on the team and nobody is scoring , I'm fed up ... Call up mantha , bench Tatar and/or nyquist ... Where the hell they been? Ridiculous f***

Huge huge huge huge hugeeeee win Hopefully this comeback win gets them going again ... We're gonna need it

f*** were pathetic

Great flyers won and are now 2 points away from the wings ... We keep playing 500 hockey we won't be making the playoffs , time to wake the f*** up First thing I think we should do is bring back the Larkin zetterberg abdelkader line , maybe that'll get Larkin going again ... Mantha needs to be called up for some games ASAP , he won't be the reason we get in alone but if he can help us get a few wins with that shot he needs to be here ..and it'll actually give pavel someone with a lethal shot on his wing for once Zetterberg Larkin abdelkader Tatar Datsyuk mantha Jurco athanasiou nyquist Glendening sheahan helm

Think some of these kids have to get playing time opportunities though so we could see what they have before we write them off, look how long Tatar and nyquist had to wait... And they only got opportunities when we had injuries at a rapid rate I'd really wanna see Anthony mantha up here for 2-3 games at least to see where he's at and so he can get a taste of the NHL so he knows what to expect , and maybe motivate him even more to hit gym harder in the off season ... Same with sproul and others Easy to say prospects aren't what we expected them to be ... But we also leave them to rot in the minors for 4 years without a taste and when th finally come up they barely play Nice to see jurco getting more playing time out there now and making nice plays , think he's a good one just needs more consistent ice time and opportunity

Was hoping for a 5th , but whatever at least we actually got something for an asset Hoping were strongly considering trading Richards and Quincey since I don't see both coming back and possibly helm , but I won't expect it Glad kindl's gone though

I'd trade for nichushkin if the stars were willing to take Quincey for a cup run(think stars would have a good shot at resigning him with Nill there) along with Ericsson A lot of fans don't value him but I'm sure a lot of teams like Dallas would ... That would really help the core d id say for a playoff run K these will never happen but anyways ... Maybe throw in a pulkkinen + to try and land honka? Nichushkin and honka For Quincey Ericsson pulkkinen sheahan + 2nd pick? We could then trade a nyquist or some other forwards for d Or (Although I think there's no chance trouba,Theodore,werenski are getting dealt) 3 way trade Islanders get Nyquist and jets 4th round pick Jets get hamonic and wings 2nd round pick Redwings get trouba

Just saw the goal on tv .... Ridiculous man

Highly doubt they'd call up athanasiou after he's been gone for all this time ... Probably a defensemen like you said but I'm kinda hoping they call up mantha and put him with datsyuk Definetly think it'll be one of the 2 ... They are both out of waivers as well as ouellet next season who will be a redwing .., we need to see what we have In sproul and Jensen I hope it's sproul since he has more size and upside

Were not bad ... That being said we need help , can't keep going and only scoring 2 or less goals per game, not gonna cut it

iThanks , figured since I haven't seen him on the box score for a while

Yes i can't believe they blew that lead , ugh ... I also bet on them and Columbus , would of needed Blackhawks tomorrow to win 150$ .... Oh well lol Is athanasiou still out? Missed tonight's game

Be nice to see little Bert start putting up some points again ..... I think adding mantha by the deadline if he continues next few weeks at this pace could be the best addition we could make without it costing anything And I'm thinking if frk continues as well to keep scoring nonstop it seems maybe pulkkinen becomes expendable at the trade deadline in a package deal? We got way to many good forwards coming, not enough spots

And Anthony mantha scored again Martin frk got another 2 goals as well, kid was on the verge of probably being let go at the end of this season (thank god he didn't wait till next season to play like this) I was also surprised to see frk on the ice to get the open net goal, guess the coach trusts him to be on the ice in the last minute

Won't be going up that much , and the Canadian dollar is worthless which won't help We also have the Weiss buyout as a bad contract to deal with and Howard might soon be someone we might have to eat some money off .... Not interested in taking some bad contracts in a deal Could see the jets dealing byfuglien If they land hamonic/or if contract talks are going nowhere and they are far from a spot, if not they might keep him for a playoff run since i think they got swept last year?

http://www.tsn.ca/report-leafs-habs-flames-interested-in-rychel-1.417707 Think we should be focusing more on defensemen .... don't know much about him but guessing by his size that's something the wings might like? Maybe he's a physical player? What would it cost us to land a 19th overall pick ? I'm thinking a athanasiou + type package and I personally wouldn't do it

Think neither will probably have an impactful career .... If hicketts tries to play physical he won't last long in the league with his size Haven't seen saarijarvi much but he impressed me today and i can see him being a good ppl specialist someday ... Maybe a rafalski/enstrom type ? We'd be lucky if he could fetch us 25-40 pts someday Only time will tell with the both of them , but I think I'd keep saarijarvi considering he's also just recently started playing the position and could get better.... As fun as these tournaments are also reminds me of the daigles,Jason doig, Christian dube and some past guys growing up who had good junior careers and tournaments and vanished If Someone wants Joe hicketts in a package deal for a good dman we throw him in

Isn't clutterbuck one of the better bottom line guys in the league? It be like trading glendening/helm(if he had more term) and I personally wouldn't Maybe considering jurco was so dominate in the ahl when he was there and still really young a jurco for rychel trade could be had? I like jurco's upside though You mentioned dmen, Detroit themselves need help in the back end ... Only one I might consider moving is Brendan smith (since I don't see him here longterm, and can't see them taking kindl) Rather keep Russo ouellet and sproul

Nice to see frk tearing it up of late , had all but considered him a bust in the wings prospect pool but the kids got life in him yet It's a good time to be a wings fan:) Oh and thank god Robbie Russo defected to the wings , kid looks like he's gonna be a good one
