    I'm glad we didn't sign Parise and Suter, and I was saying it at the time too. With the cap, we would have had to build our team around those guys for 10 years. Suter on his own, would have been fine, but not both.

    true and i think it would have been hard to keep tats AA getting larkin and others who are coming

    Defenseman or not we still want high pick because that's still currency for us. 

    Crazy scenario but we could draft Viliardi and trade him for a #1 Defenseman for instance without risking losing a Mantha, AA etc. Or you can draft Viliardi and trade Larkin for Trouba. Now not only do you have a possible 1D but also a possible future 1C. 

    But if we keep winning games and have the #10 or worse pick. We're back to square one for next year and another painful 82 games and no progress.

    Whoever the 10th pick is, is probably going to be an AHL player for a while.

    yea its almost like they are too embrassed to tank but in some cases you do whats best for the future especially during a weak draft

    The question is, SHOULD the goal be playoffs, or should they go with a full blown youth movement and let Larkin, AA and Mantha lead the team forward, win or lose?

    id love it but i think financially they dont want the new arena to be empty from years of a bottom feeding team its smarter letting the youth grow but this is all up to the owners outlook

    19 games left and we are 3rd from last (although we have some games in hand on some teams). Sadly I hope we tank and get either Patrick, Vilardi, Hirschier, or Liljegren. 

    i think the team is to proud to tank plus i dont think with the lottery draw plus col tanking we would get 1st overall

    I'm assuming that for the first time in years that the wings will be sellers at this coming trade deadline. I was looking at the FA list and one name that stood out was Ekblad, is he a RFA or UFA this year? Depending on who we let go or trade there are some interesting names that could be available. I didn't see any really stand out guys except Aaron, so to get that top guy will be trading for. Going over seas I'd throw a contract offer to Jan Kovar in the K, solid 2 way centre with size. The other C the Wings were looking at a few years back, Fyodor Malykhin seems to be back on track in the K this year after a couple of years struggling with injuries wether we still have an interest I'm not sure.

    Back home how about sounding out the Isle for Tavares ? The Isle need goaltending, maybe offer them a choice of Howard or Mrazek , Nyqvist or Tatar, Helm and a pick , I don't know what it need to get him thou but we need that top end C. 

    Going with Tavares Neilsen Zetterberg and Noesek as our 4 centres next year I'd be more comfortable with, than what we have at present. 

    On the backend Shattenkirk looks like an option via FA with Fowler as a trade option as our needed #1 D but are they that level? Well one thing is for sure we don't currently have one and none in the pipeline, plenty 2/3 guys but not that top guy. Depending on which D we let go or trade away will no doubt dictate who we look at brining in, but we need some snarl with size back there, and either Zadorov , Oleksiak or Trymakin would fit the bill. 

    But saying all that we'll probably win  6 in a row and Kenny will think we can get in again and have a shot at it and sign some more old vets for a push at Stanley ! 

    there is no way we can get isles to part with Tavares unless we are talking a return of Larkin or Mantha in a deal
