How about a totally different direction. Weiss, Anderson and Kindl for Hall. Get rid of extra parts to give prospects a chance and get a proven scorer. Heck if you want Petry just add lashoff and if necessary a late round pick

Las Vegas debt collectors
-
They should call them The Los Vegas Debt Collectors so if they have trouble with revenues, or when, they could just have the players collect debts to help pay their salaries
-
I think the red wings will probably struggle a lot next season until Holland makes a sensible move (a move that obviously would help is send Cleary to the minors and call up jurco) An unrelated prediction. Edmonton will make the playoffs in place of Minnesota next year.
-
Still a better deal that the one signed by Quincey and on a different note didn't kronwall sign an extension before Lindstrom and Stuart left where he wasn't their go to defenseman? It would make a lot more sense for why he's paid so little as the first defensemen.
-
I'm wondering if the wings should sign Sami Salo. He's a right handed shot and didn't have a half bad season for his age. It might be a good idea to sign him for a year if possible and because then we can have just one more year for Sproul and Ouellet to develop.
-
I think Cleary would have a better bounceback season if he gets number 11 back. But maybe if Alfredsson plays and he doesn't have his number he'll have an off year.
-
I'm sure that's true but as a gm you need to pitch to UFAs in a way where they're excited enough about the team and it's potential that they're willing to sacrifice and live in an area that in their mind is subpar
-
I really disagree. I think Cleary is definitely worth 150k per game
-
Holland made an offer for more money and same term for Niskanen and same with other UFAs so it's not like he isn't making idiotic moves just no one is accepting them
-
It really wouldn't surprise me if those two meet in the Stanley cup finals next season given their strong groups of forwards with solid goaltender's and decent defenses, Tampa bay with an edge in defense and possibly goaltending
-
I agree with that and you know what makes it worse? Our last two assistant GMs are doing amazing for their new teams: Yzerman and Nill
-
Gus could do a Ty Conklin and come back and I'm only saying McCollum if he improves enough to be an affordable backup that is used sparingly.

Have a tandem of Mrazek and Howard two seasons from now and if he looks like a starter trade Howard at the trade deadline or the end of the season and either move up McCollum to be his backup or sign someone else.
-
It could be a future possibility that he becomes a backup to Mrazek and the red wings trade Howard if Mrazek becomes a clear nhl starter.
-
Holland just said trades he explored haven't really worked out so he thinks there won't be too many more moves this summer

Signed Wings re-sign Cleary $1.5 mill + $1mill in game bonuses
mvanpop replied to anthonyn66's topic in General
I'm gonna riot and I will not spend a dime on attending games if Cleary makes the team over Jurco in September. If people don't think Holland is out of touch by this point, I have nothing left to offer. Just look at the track record since 2009. Tootoo, Samuelson, Quincey, Cleary. And even letting Emmerton and probably Almquist go to the KHL -

I bet he gets the whole 1 million in bonuses... If they're for penalties and injuries -
And we avoid giving them anyone that would be a key contributor to the wings
-
I like keeping Tatar Nyquist and Mantha but I would really like red wings to hold on to their first rounders. Just so they can get some talent with a shorter development time so we can have a stacked roster in the next few years
-
I'd say if mike green comes to Detroit he will never put up over 55 pts. Detroit is a two way team and won't want it's defensemen taking to much risk to get points. Look at Smith they moved him to forward to use his offensive skills and kronwall has had to be conservative since Stuart left
-
I've seen a lot of Tatar or jurco as a trade item. Why not Anderson? Washington needs centers and you could add franzen and or a pick to get the deal done. Anderson is already an extra piece in our lineup
-
I agree that Salo would be a good addition IF we can still promote someone like Sproul as the 7th defenseman
