It’s picking up ... swear we better get that first for Nyquist f*** , don’t know why rangers did that deal , only hope to land a first if he resigns

Come again?

Why am I tagged?

47 minus zetterberg and mule? Doesn’t technically count?guess I’m surprised some of the above guys mentioned count cause I seen guys like Matthew ford,Campbell,shine in Grand Rapids so I don’t know we would have them count towards our 50 unless it’s for the case we get 3-5 guys hurt up front during the year and need to call up puempel etc... i just rechecked, my bad must of missed seeing mcisaac locked up ya I agree those 3 goalies would be ahead but I suspected none would be close to Grand Rapids and saw pottelberghe was older , I remember him having some upside a year or two ago sucks he has no interest in North America, it’s too bad we can’t know these things prior to draft day but oh well https://swisshockeynews.ch/index.php/shn/13-international/north-america/nhl/12207-van-pottelberghe-turned-down-an-entry-level-contract-offer-from-the-red-wings this article says otherwise ... he still plans to come up and try and be a redwing which is good news , more goalies the better chances we can get a few of them to pan out https://wingsnation.com/2018/12/11/the-journey-of-joren-van-pottelberghe/ seen this , he got demoted this year but has put up good numbers , the article says at the bottom there’s plenty of room in Grand Rapids next season for him and I’d much rather have him next year than rybar and sateri hes still 21 and goalies tend to take longer to develop and has the size and skill and I think we should sign him to 2 years and see what happens

https://www.eliteprospects.com/team/60/detroit-red-wings/depth-chart do the the contracts in Grand rapida like Megan mcilrath count towards the 50 contract limit? Cause according to that it’s at 49 id hate to see us to cut ties with turgeon,holmstrom,hicketts,sulak even though there not in the big league and might just be bottom guys just to keep guys like the those Megan mcilrath if they do actually count guessing good chances Chelios,frk,witkowski,sadowy get axed and hopefully Megan,lashoff,mcilrath figuring veleno,mcisaac will be signed this off season and possbly our 1st rd pick and chase Pearson so that’s 4 we really Need to cut some deadweight like Daley,ericsson Any chance pottelberghe signs and comes to North America next year ?

Ya I’m not surprised with this stupid team , you don’t wanna just hand out minutes but I don’t see the point of bringing up what our easiest top prospect in god knows how Long? To play on a 3rd line with glendening and helm , like Jesus Christ give him athanasiou, put Rasmussen down the middle for a few games instead of parking him on a 4th as well lets have some fun and let the kids play and if we lose even better so we get a top pick and not have to endure this disaster forever Ha like that third line, same mindset ... keep him away from no talent 4th line guys hopefully nyquist is dealt or benched by then , same with vanek

Haha no I meant trading dekeyser and replacing him with trouba ... and I meant signing trouba as a ufa as I see no point in signing him this year when he’s available in a season , keep the assets it would cost and add possibly lafraniere next draft , and free trouba it’s a win win all around i been seeing a lot of stuff about the hawks and how they have a bunch of d prospects and no space especially with Keith and seabrook refusing to waive ntc’s and carlsson wasn’t listed in the top 3-4 guys http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=181814 i wonder if he can be had for a 3rd-4th rounder or 4 and 5 since we have 2 5’s although I doubt we’d do this with bowey now added , hronek and cholowski likely next year and then add another soon to be 22 year old but I’d do it , he seems to be having a pretty solid rookie season and we can never have too many d’s Ya I saw that I can’t imagine anything we’d be looking at from Vegas and jets , sometimes I think they just send these scouts away on trips to like enjoy life lol. There’s no chance of us getting a roslovic or niku from jets so I don’t know I’m sure some of those Scouts were checking Nyquist for sure but I’m probably naive but hopeful someone like tb/preds might wanna add a daley on the 3rd pair or a pens want to add vanek lets get them picks

Kliq was right 4 years after being drafted which means we’d have to wait another year and I know fabbro at least wants to turn pro so it would unfortunately have to be a trade

Well if they want to walk and decide where they want to go they can no? Preds and Carolina can’t force them to sign and they can’t trade them unless they agree to sign to that club which they also can’t control. that what I was thinking maybe those dmen see their clubs situation and think I’m f’n out of here ... and looking at our d situation which is horrible and old and how exciting the forward group is why wouldn’t they think about coming here ? that d is actually pretty solid f*** ... counter with trouba cholowski hronek fabbro bowey mcisaac hoping in 2 years we trade one Michigan boy for another and as exciting as is getting bowey having a crazy d Corp would already possibly make him the 7th guy if all turns out in 2-3 years which would be a good problem to have anywaysss , it’s nice to dream haha if you look at fabbro and Schultz they both played 3 years in bchl and college hockey when Schultz decided so I don’t know if they have to wait another year just noticed fox played 2 yrs not 3 prior to college and is older than fabbro so I don’t know how all this works out , in the end probably means we’d have to trade

Hey thanks a lot man , much appreciated I don’t if it’s 4 or not but looking at Schultz ,fox and fabbro the stats prior to college hockey and college years after Schultz signed are 3 each and fox and fabbro both have the same http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=113177 http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=170098 http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=177791 im guessing if fabbro and fox decided to turn pro in the summer they’d have 30 days to sign or become a ufa? Or maybe this year after they finish playoffs ... maybe I should go bug fox and fabbro on twitter to join the wings haha, Carolina and preds are both stacked at d , anyways hopefully we get lucky with one of them

Hopefully zadina gets a look playing in the top 6 with worthy linemates on another note ... chase Pearson got 2 assists for 27 pts in 29 games matching his career best in 8 fewer games and +16 compared to +1 last season

Also said he’d go to vanek if someone offered him a deal ... now let’s hope someone wants Daley

Off topic but just wondering when can an ncaa hockey player become a free agent if they refuse to sign with their team?? Once your over 20 at any time you choose?Last i checked Adam fox hasn’t signed yet, and fabbro is going to be 21 in June holding out hope they decide to test free agency and leave

Still shouldn’t haven given up a first for meech or Quincey

He just signed 4 yrs 10 million lol ... well that puts the rumours of bringing him back to rest now we can concentrate on the future, ship Daley off next

Jesus Christ lol forgot about this , nice to know we lost out on vasilevsky cause Babcock loved Meech lmao ... come on babs keep bugging dubas for glendening

Even it’s a 7th I’d rather stockpile as many picks as possible , only way of getting better is having as many shots as possible i know jensen was expected but I’m just hoping with adding bowey and the young d’s coming up in cholowski hronek as well and mcisaac,lindtstrom hopefully not far off we start getting rid of guys like Daley by Monday and hoping babs keepings nagging dubas and he caves and gives gives us a 2nd for Luke lol

I remember him having some good games when he first came and he hasn’t really had a good look after that since we always favour old fossils on the back end I think he can get a pick 5-7 ... might as well ship him to his home town Vancouver

Like getting bowey but does this pretty much mean game over for joe hicketts?sulak? I mean unless we get rid of bodies like ericsson,Daley,green,kronwall(which I’m totally up for ) how can they possibly have a future here with cholowski and hronek coming up next season as well maybe its time to give little joe a look elsewhere ?he had a good junior career so I’m sure we can get a pick for him just cant see him having a future in Detroit

That’s where I had him going as well , well hopefully we can pry the caps first for Gus since I think theyll be outed first round after getting crazy drunk all summer lmao

24 when next season starts though, hasn’t been so great so far but I’m optimistic he’ll bounce back here given a bigger role and more opportunity and let’s face it nobody would have thought we’d get anything close to a 2nd pick alone for Jensen months ago really believe we need to shop green and get max value now, he’d be up against Barrie,Krug and pietrangelo if all were made available next deadline

Guessing this year since we have three lol would have liked the 2nd to be this year since there’s some guys I like but I’m hoping we get some with Nyquist and hopefully get a nice surprise with Daley and some others dealt

It’s All good man I’m hoping we get rid of more spare parts , wish we’d shop green with him locked up next season we’d get a great return ... I’m hoping this all gets done prior to Monday just to see Jeff O’Neil lose his s*** on tsn hahaha

Caps getting a 5th back from us

Ken Holland threw a dart on caps prospects and landed on Bowey and asked for him
