Saw this mentioned by Elliott Friedman 5. Hearing Detroit is looking for a defenceman who can take some of the physical responsibility from Niklas Kronwall. While the Red Wings like their prospects, they see too many similarities to what is already there. Wanted: someone with a bit of mean. Could be helped by drafting meloche and others this draft ... 1. Teams looking for defence are also eyeing the Kings AHL franchise, Manchester. The Monarchs won the Calder Cup on Saturday with a 2-1 Game 5 victory over Utica. Colin Miller is ready to play in the NHL now, said one NHL exec. Miller, 21, a fifth-rounder in 2012, was third in regular-season scoring for Manchester with 19 goals and 52 points in 70 games. He had 10 points in 19 playoff games. The other is 22-year-old Derek Forbort, taken 15th overall in 2010. There have been mixed reviews in the past, but he impressed in this run. Is it Los Angeles for Miller and Forbort, or somewhere else? Don't know much about these 2 but maybe one can be had who could help us out and wouldn't cost us a fortune? Forbort is 6'4 but the other guys is more productive offensively Maybe something worth looking at ?

Put in my post In the wrong topic my bad

I believe been through this already with someone .... Obviously not but I'm sure if Kenny tried harder we wouldn't of had to give janmark ... Just looks like he gave in easily Cole is what ? 36? Ufa and a history of injuries and we give up a 2nd and backman(which say what you will but was regarded as a top prospect when the deal went down) and we throw in a young kid who was playing well in the shl? If that's what cole cost imagine what a 32 year old ufa with injury problems will cost us ... Ouellet athanasiou and a pick? Anyways didn't wanna get back into this it's over and done with ... My point is bringing up cole was he along with others holland have signed last few years or traded for have brought absolutely nothing to the wings (injury excuses or not) I Think the last move that worked out for us was bringing Rafalski and giving cleary a shot and him turning out to be a good addition I know it's funny cause of my name but I'd rather trade a nyquist/Tatar in a deal to get a dman And just because we have larkin etc... Coming it doesn't guarantee anything ...what if mantha becomes a 30+ guy every year ? If we trade him then he could fetch us a lot more than now so I'm in no hurry to deal him If we get Phaneuf does that make us a cup contender? Still need a few moves ... I think trusting ouellet and marchenko more makes us better , and if we could add a mike green to quarterback the ppl we'll be way better than now and we still have mantha in our system and the 19th pick or 2 more depending if we trade back or not

Well if your keeping him it's cause you can't find a taker ... I think at his point across the league everyone knows it was a bad signing Everyone knew cole had a history of injuries, still think a 2nd and backman would of been enough to get him , holland had no reason to throw in janmark Regardless Coles trade result ended up being a waste cause like you said he was injured so in my eyes we gave up those assets for nothing Zidlicky started off good but ended bad .... Point is there hasn't been a move Hollands done in along time that brought a lot to help the team

K but if it takes mantha to get rid of weiss to get Phaneuf then I'd pass Rather just admit the blunder and suck it up And now that I think of it Kenny's last trades were brutal ... Lost 2 2nd rounders jarnkrok janmark backman , signed cleary and weiss and we got 0 productivity from those traded for or signed Kenny needs to maybe sip on some whiskey before trading ... Might actually help him

Ya so let's get rid of a potential big man sniper to make up for Kenny's stupidities I'm sorry but at this point I'd be willing to suck it up and just throw weiss In Grand Rapids if need be or just pay 1.5 off his cap hit to a team like arizona for 4 years rather than being stuck with a cap issue for 6 years or giving away a stud prospect Kenny's gonna have to suck it up

It would cost more to get the 3rd overall and ekman larsson .... Kindl Ericsson and smith are all 3rd pairing guys

Did a mock draft for the first time for fun which ended up short (5rounds) These are my picks and just curious if the wings drafts went like this if some of you would be pissed or pleased ... Traded back a few times to get 3 2nd rounders and 2 3rds ... Nicolas meloche -D Travis dermott -D Jens looke - F Nikita korostelev - F Brendan guhle - D Veeti vainio - D Lucas carlsson - D Went hard on the d's since it's our biggest need ... Last pick was hard , debated with christian jaros,adam parsells and alexander younan but went with carlsson since he was ranked 19 before dropping and is 17 and already played in the swedish elite league

On a sidenote If were trading our 1st round pick away for something I hope holland is smart enough and calls say buffalo and offers 19 for 21 and 51 before trading it away so we have a pick in the 2nd round I doubt a team would nix a deal for moving back 2 spaces Maybe something like 21 and weiss and a 4th for Phaneuf and a 3rd

Far from given up on mantha and I want to see him play a full year in Grand Rapids and not trade him in (unless it's for a oliver ekman larsson type which won't happen )but he's sounding a bit delusional Found this article from the 9th http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2015/06/09/ca-nous-donne-un-avantage---anthony-mantha It's in french .... He's basically saying since jeff Blashill is the new coach it gives him and ouellet a chance to make the team next season since he knows them, and he went on about how great a coach he is and told him he needs to be more competitive on a daily basis and that he's got all the tools to make it After last season I think he should be more concerned into turning things around with Grand Rapids rather than talk about his chances of being a redwing are now up cause Blashill is there That being said I read somewhere he's already hard at the gym training for next season which is good news These were his exact words translated ... The fact that Blashill got promoted it's certainly to our advantage ... He's seen us play all year and knows what were capable of , he's tried to develop us all year so we get to the nhl He's an exceptional coach ... He's taught me a lot , explained to me what I need to do to improve my game to play in the nhl According to him I got all the abilities necessary but I need to improve my competitiveness and bring it to another level, which is what we worked on

Twitters hilarious everyone's dreaming of getting mantha and the 19th pick for basically nothing

Only way he gets dealt is if jimmy is a secret pedo and mantha rejected him and he's now blackmailing holland into trading him away

I'd only consider it if winnipeg gave us trouba which won't happen with big buff being a ufa after next year Mantha ouellet and the 19th pick which could be a good pick or turn into 2 good picks if be trade back is a big price Again ... Mantha needs to play a full season in Grand Rapids before making anything we could very well regret

Everyone's just willing to give up on him cause he didn't score 50 goals in 50 games .... We need to see him play a full season next year before trading him off

A first and mantha for Phaneuf and his 7 million cap hit even now we'd get f***ed I don't pay attention to anything damian cox says .... And for everyone who's thinking mantha is a bust bnd is willing to part with him should really thank twice .... Mantha came in missing camp and a bunch of games, it's wayyyyyyyyyyyy to soon to say he's a bust and be ok with trading a big man who can shoot It's just ridiculous

They got the tools to get 25-40 goals ... Not saying they'll get 40 goals per season but I can see either of them having a big year, besides that I can see them being regular 25-30 goal guys every season, and for that I'd personally want someone more certain than vatanen that's all Not saying it'll just be nyquist/Tatar 1 for 1 but the main guy in a deal ... Vatanen hasn't proven enough for me yet to jump on it

He's been relatively healthy last few seasons but he's had some injury concerns in the past which are a concern , and he's not the best defensively ... I mean I wouldn't be pissed off since he's not costing us any assets but I'd be more comfortable with a 3 year term max Ya he's not the biggest guy and he's been playing with a good offensive team in Anaheim and still new to the league , wouldn't be against landing him But nyquist has the potential to get 25-40 goals so I'm probably biased but I'd think we could land someone better especially if we added another piece I wouldn't do it since there in the east but I'm sure Pittsburgh would want nyquist to play with Crosby in a heartbeat

Ya green would be nice at say 2 yrs x5 maybe even a third year if it was the deal breaker but I got a feeling someone will give him a 5x5 type offer Mentioned ehroff cause it's the type of deal holland would make , your right he didn't play that great with the pens but he did deal with injury issues and I don't think he's as bad and he was , I could see him getting 30-40 pts

Pens aren't bringing back ehroff , if he's willing to except a one or 2 year deal that's the type of deal I could see holland doing and wouldn't cost us big assets Kronwall ehroff Dekeyser Ericsson Quincey ouellet/marchenko/smith

Ya your right ... My bad

I find it really hard to think if be trade weiss we won't be eating any of his salary ... Unless we take back a big contract At this point I'd rather pay 1.5 per x4 yrs off his contract rather than have his contract on the hook for 6 yrs ... Something like that might entice a cap team like arizona to take him I can't imagine Blashill will use weiss more than some of the kids he's been teaching and to be honest I'd rather he put his time into getting someone like jurco back on the right track again than weiss

All depends on the price ... I was gonna say Edmonton would probably throw a ridiculous contract but then I remembered chirelli is the gm now lol And Edmonton needs money to resign some kids a few yrs from now so who knows Not willing to give longterm deal to green but maybe he'd consider a 2 yr x5 per deal?

I also thought it was over but After what I saw today I got no doubt when it'll come time to take it over the fans will come through

He should be cheap ... I'd take him ... If anything if he rebounds and can get 40-55 pts and athanasiou etc.. Are ready after next season he'll be a trade asset and we can actually get something for a player for once rather than losing them off waivers So yes True ... Not for keeping him longterm but I'd be ok with one season

Strome schmome Last few days on hockeysfuture axel holmstrom and now dylan larkin are top news ... Athanasiou as you mentioned , bertuzzi, mantha etc... Were stacked upfront Stud goalie in mrazek We need to draft some solid d's this year and were set ... Futures bright man Might even consider dealing a Tatar or nyquist for a good young dman since we'd still have one left +sheahan pulkkinen jurco Forget strome ... Get me some d's
