once again holland lacks the balls to make a huge trade ( save the quincey deal comments) this was our last great chance to win the cup ....wasted opportunity ... ah well , lets hope we can win the cup

once again holland lacks the balls to take a chance oh well ... wanna see if nashville caved up and gave the 1st round pick

i think ken hollands strategy was to hold up all the trades and delay all the deals so teams get screwed at 3pm and no one makes a deal lol worst deadline of all time

come on kenny!! shock the hockey world and get dustin brown!!

guys ... there is no way in hell stuart is getting traded ... if it were to happen it would of happened long ago not now when the seasons coming to an end , stuart will tough it out and go for the cup and then if he wants to go to the west coast he will in the off season . And kenny doesnt trade ufa's when we have a chance to win the cup

1:01pm - Rumor out there that Detroit is trading Brad Stuart. Working on confirmation, one way or another. fourthperiod.com guess eklund got to him

Brad Stuart heading to Rangers? Strange move for Detroit if happening... Source: Eklund Discuss this Rum BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHA hows this guy still online

ken holland just said brendan smith is playing in columbus and will play a few games down the stretch ..... so what does that mean for kindl??? back to the 7th spot ... i cant see him being here next year

doesnt make sense to call up smith now and put him on the bench , unless they call him up and kindl is the odd man out again which basically would mean kindl's days are numbered

whos another depth defensemen the wings could get??? i cant imagine holland would give up without getting someone else only because he's stated numerous times you could never have too much depth on defense for the playoffs ... chris campoli??(hope not)

hahaha wow ... what a scrap , well hopefully we move that 7th pick now

LOL why would yzerman want that bum .... hopefully holland gets a better veteran defensemen now

problem is if were talking about rick nash type player itll be a 1st pulkkinen , filppula and another top prospect if they want a roster player i guess we could try another 3 way deal

gotta take a chance though with lidstrom still here .... and we still got jarnkrok,smith,jurco,nyquist,sheahan waiting to come up

worst deadline of all time

he's not a rental , ott is locked up for another 2 years

the good thing with those 2 guys are they are locked up for 2 more years at a respectable 3 mill cap hit ... so not just a rental

2nd round pick and pulkkinen for steve ott .... would anyone do it??

been there done that , dont want him back ....i love that holland doesnt just trade away assets , the problem is he never takes any chances though ... if there was time to take a chance it would be now , we got cap room we have alot of good prospects and with lidstrom possibly going we have to go for it all this year .... not saying any prospect is available but id trade one for like a dustin brown type impact guy .... steve ott??? we need a nasty guy in our lineup

i swear if we end up with samuelsson again im gonna lose it , this could be our last great chance to win the cup with lidstrom kenny's gotta get some balls for once and take a chance ! Put in a tatar or pulkkinen if need be ( depending on the guy of course)

wish there was a way to land dustin brown

hollands gotta make some moves , might be our last best chance to win with lidstrom being here , i think maybe we should take a chance on andrei kostitsyn , he's had 3 20+ goal seasons in the last 5 years and the thing about him is they say he's lazy here but he hasnt really gotten a fair shot and i think detroit could push him , hes got all the tools to be a 30+ goal guy I know this wont happen but if we got kostitsyn to play next to datsyuk i think it could be magic and i was thinking what if we did something drastic and keep bertuzzi with andrei and pav and moved franzen down with filppula and hudler (hudler's been on a role this year , dont wanna mess that up) And we move down zetterberg to the 3rd ... my thinking behind this would be because it would give us a serious 4 line scoring threat in the playoffs and the teams wouldnt be able to put there best defensive specialists against zetterberg and he'd be getting scoring chances against other teams 3rd pairing d again i know this wont happen just an idea ... sorry for the long post guys

l.a is apparently shopping him , i know its probably a 0% chance we'd get him but i think hed be a perfect fit here , hes gritty and physical , locked up for another 2 years at 3.1 cap hit ... 27 years old ... he'd be great here and would definetly give us a big boost for the playoffs would you want him ?? what would you trade for him? Unfortunetly i think they want scoring and i cant see anyone we'd be willing to part with in our top 6 and cleary has a no trade really doubt it be enough but maybe id do a emmerton/kindl and a 2nd rounder for brown

didnt think they still were after getting quincey but i just read this ..... The Maple Leafs abundance of defencemen makes the team popular with clubs looking for blueline help. According to Dreger, Jake Gardiner is unavailable, and the only way that Luke Schenn would be moved is if the Leafs were made an offer they couldn't refuse. Carl Gunnarsson, Cody Franson and Keith Aulie are also generating interest. Chicago, Detroit, New Jersey, Edmonton and Winnipeg are among the teams still searching for defencemen. dont know if it'll happen but i trust darren dreger .... wont happen but it would be so big if we got luke schenn here , hes so young and physical ( dont even know why his name keeps getting put out there by the toronto media )

hes back tracking cause word got out thats what i read ... and lombardi is just desperate because if l.a doesnt get in hes basically gonna get fired
