Let's turn the argument around. We can't trade both. We should trade one, for two reasons (at the least): * Their total salary sum is excessive with no basis in regards to our current situation. * Given our progress curve on how likely we are to make the finals, one should be traded. In short, we need a prospect up. Or a bad backup. Mrazek was the easiest to trade. He is younger, has shown flashes of brilliance and was on the incline. Do I like it? Slightly no. Does it matter, judging from our team, in a snapshot of the present? Not a bit. Opinion: trade both, I'd say. But I do understand if that seems harsh.

Tatar trade an unexpected nice payoff. Green Should have been traded, it is blasphemy and heresy not to. Even a 3rd would have been acceptable given the info we recieved right after the deadline. I am sure something could have been arranged like krsmith mentioned in the post just before mine. C-

Atleast we could have traded frigging Glendenning to Toronto for a 6th or something?? It's bab's boy after all. Just to lessen the sour aftertaste from this ugly Green drink.

Heck maybe Green just said no. Not everyone wants go move just to get a cup. Actually most probably don't. Heck if I know.

Erhm.. I am having my second glass of white wine while listening to Dr. Bart Ehrman, professor of religious studies at Chapel Hill, NC. ^^

Thats like 75 to 1. No dice.

I would be honestly surprised if Green didn't go to Washington or Tampa. Question is for what. Willing to take bets.

Hold your horses, filthy mob. I am convinced Holland is milking it, he probably has a 2nd rounder offered for him and working the clock to get a first. If I'm wrong bring out the tar and feathers, we gonna dip his butt.

I agree with all your points. But they should be called the Soviet five. Or Red army five. Completely incarcerated, indoctrinated for one purpose. Could they play? The best Tarasov hockey the world ever saw. Pure art.

Very much so. Bet aside we should have won that game. With that said the loss dropped me to two Franklin bills in Red Wings earnings this year. I am cashing in, this team will be in flux the coming months, most bets would be erratic. I promise to buy a Dahlin or Svechnikov jersey from the earnings if we get one of them. If not it'll all go on booze and women.

Chaps80, I hear you, and valid points at that. I am unsecure of who will replace Mrazek aswell. However, given this season, and most likely the next, we actually need a bad goalie. I don't know for sure, but this might be Holland pulling the bathtub plug. It would in fact be an effective way to climb in the draft while still asking the younglings to go all out. Not saying it's right, but food for thought.

A blasphemic and heretic loss. Lidström shudders from his couch, if he ever watches these games. I just hope we can get the kids in a winning spirit once we get the right tools to the shed, they have and will be experiencing a lot of losses. Hopefully it won't tarnish them.

A game we will likely win and no scribblings in the thread? I am betting on a victory. We are a clear favorite in this one, which is quite a rarity these days. I am suspending our goal to drop as low as possible for this game, I want us dropping Buffalo.

I have been praising for a tank some time now, albeit in a low key fashion. The talent we pick up needs to be fairly on par with what we will put our efforts on, being the usual suspects, Larks, Mantha, AA, a bubbler or two who shines up when they get the chance. So we need them now, not a few years from now in order to grow to a cohesive unit.
