    Report: Red WIngs interested in Franson

    Almquist is playing in the SEL Wings don't own his rights and I doubt he'll return to the NHL next year.

    So, Evander Kane...

    If they can't t rade him I think Winnipeg is going to put the guy on waivers and deservingly so. A locker room doesn't need to be a 22 men brotherhood but at least respect the organizational rules jesus christ. Noodles talked about on TSN , teams also need at the background of a player before drafting him Kane is a perfect example of how not doing so can really backfire. Wouldn't be surprised if we see him in a what could have been special down the line.

    Save for Dekeyser, Mantha and Larkin no prospect should be off the table if this guy is really available, big, strong and physical power-forward with a great cap-hit. Leafs fans are already talking about that cocky Nylander guy being their next first line center, yup a guy who hasn't played 1 game in the NHL till now...talk about putting unreasonable expectations on those guys. Leafs have a lot of pieces I'd be interested in (JVR, Rielly, McLaren, Broll) Broll as a fourth line power forward and McLaren as insurance when we play Boston, Ottawa or the Blues.

    How can a team with Kessel, Bozak (solid 2c), Phaneuf, JVR, Rielly, Bernier, Reimer and Gardiner be that bad ? I thought it was all the fault of - FUN to watch - former fourth line ? Guess not. I think most players of the core know the time is up and some might be even happy to get traded.

    2/7 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Coyotes 1

    Should be a win tonight and it helps both teams the Coyotes continue to tank and Wings gain 2 points. I think the atmosphere will be like a homegame.

    2015 Draft

    So is this still about the draft? Because I don't think anybody will know for sure how many picks the Wings might have and where they are going to pick there is a lot of hockey left. But I definitely think they should put a huge focus on centers and defense.. Wingers and goaltenders can be picked later. Larkin has all the the potential to maybe! become a top 6 center but that doesn't mean he is a surefire to do so. Even if he does wings will need another top 6 center and given that these guys aren't on the market anymore wings have to try developing them. I also think it's unfair to compare future centers to two very good ones (Pasha and the beard). First line centers that can help out the defense too are the exception not the norm and I wouldn't count on finding them again.. So they blow whenever those 2 are gone can only be softened by a much better defense and having a real sniper - hopefully Mantha - as a finisher.

    King henrik out a month

    Now the Rangers will fall of a bit there is no way to replace King Henrik it's also his first major injury guy has been durable like a machine. Now it's time for Talbot to carry the load

    So, Evander Kane...

    I see it differently most nhl players are classy guys. Kane has more than enough proven that he is a POS.

    So, Evander Kane...

    Guy is a total POS whichever team is trading for him makes a huge mistake.

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    Got ya, I got it mixed up then.

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    Lavoiy Renaud reported it, didn't know who that guy is but seems to be a good source. Ducks would be stupid to give up that much, someone like Etem + 1 + a b level prospect would make more sense.

    Why would someone pay a lot for that kind of distraction ?

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    Just read the latest Myers to Anaheim rumor and it seems like Buffal is asking for Gibson, one of Vatanen/Lindholm + a first. I'm a fan of Myers and still think he could turn into Chara light but if I'm Andy Murray that's way too steep. I think Dickie nailed the tier prospects pretty well another important point are the other GMs. I think we can all agree that most GMs would be asking at at first for one of Mantha, Larkin so they are top tier then they'll ask for Mrazek, maybe! XO, Sproul and then there are guys like Pulkinnen, Athansius, Marchenko... I thought at the time that the Rafalski retirement - comparable to the Holmer one - went a bit under the radar because everyone was concerned with how many years Lidas still has left. That Feschuk article is 3 almost 2,5 years old I personally think Phaneuf is asked to play way over his capabilities in Toronto and gets scrutinized alongside Kessel for everything that's wrong...maybe they can blame both for Hurrican Barbara too..

    TANK IT! 2014-2015 Season

    Well Boston was just too good in every aspect of the game. I think the young guns were surprised with how different the compete level in the playoffs is. I also think some players were just gassed too after fighting tooth and nails to even get into the show.

    2/5 GDT - Red Wings 3 at Avalanche 0

    Well saw a fight and some sloppy play sadly time for bed. I think the wings win this

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    Nonis opted to stay in Nashville and watch their game today so the basics for a trade might be already in place. Pittsburgh at some point needs to develop some prospects because Crosby, Malkin soon will get up their in age.

    Can't believe Winnipeg hasn't already gotten rid of that idiot. Trade him for a bag of pucks .

    TANK IT! 2014-2015 Season

    Maybe I'm a bit sentimental but I still believe their should be a middle ground. Best UFAs will be: Franson, Boychuck, Ehrhoff and of course Staal Spezza, Fleury re-signed during the season. Williams would be a nice gritty depth player

    TANK IT! 2014-2015 Season

    That's why it's by far the hardest trophy to win in all of sports the salary cap, revenue sharing and some **** CBA rules have made it even more difficult but I don't agree that you have to lose in order to learn how to win it all. Young players need confidence and experience but getting slauthered against Boston might not have been the best experience (if Detroit makes it they should use that as motivation if possible). God that 2002 team how do I miss them may be one of the best rosters ever and what a great year that has been

    That's wrong he turned down 4,65 over 5 years he would have been stupid to accept that, knowing he can get much more on the open market and play in a non 24/7 media scrutiny market.
