How many of you said "Babcocks voice is stale. Time to move on. This Blashill guy looks shiny new and exciting? I welcome a change" Seemed like it was 90% of wings fans at the time. Glad you all finally realized that Babs was and is the most dominant coach in the league. Just remember ownership allowed a rival hockey club to steal our coach... cause trashill

Well sir youve been brainwashed by the NHL media. I agree Toews is a fantastic player. Really works hard and is elite defensively. But he's no where close to Yzerman. He's no where close to the top 100. Let me ask you. How do you feel about Patrice Bergeron? Do you think he would be a top 100 player?

Habs get: Nikita Nesterov (23 yo D-man with 12 pts in 35 gp) Tampa gets: Johnathan Racine (23 yo D-man who looks like career AHLer) and 6th round pick This trade is bizarre to me. Decent young D-man traded to a divisional rival for next to nothing. I get that Tampa would have had to expose Nesterov at the expansion draft, but why give him away to a divisional rival for peanuts? Tampa fans are claiming Nesterov sucks, but I think they're just having a down season as a whole like us.

Arizona is a state

Less. Nesterov still has room to grow and is already the better Dman IMO. Hes also on a small cap hit. RFAs are naturally more valuable too i think.

Maybe that's it. Tampa is going to have to expose much better players than him at the expansion. So I doubt Yzerman was concerned about losing him there. Still though, I feel like Steve got fleeced in the return

They currently have 6 Dmen on their roster and 14 forwards. They have about 400K in cap space, and Nesterov was a 700K+ cap hit, but they could have sent down one of their waiver exempt forwards in order to keep him and be cap compliant. IDK, I don't think this deal had to be made.

That would make more sense, but they have a 21 man roster right now. 2 open spots. They did not have to waive him.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2017/01/red_wings_have_several_potenti.html Good read from Ansar about our trade options going into February About Nyquist: Did not know this. TRADE HIM NOW. About Tatar: Had no idea he was dealing with an injury He goes on to say that Jurco and Mrazek basically have no trade value at the moment. Even says Red Wings may protect Coreau over Mrazek at the expansion draft. Hopefully if we sell some pieces Jurco can at least get some time in the lineup.

Tomas "I can dangle, but won't" Jurco

Fight? Just send Ott in to butt end Bergeron's groin. See how they like it.

1) Joe Vitale 2) Petr Mrazek 3) Johan Franzen 4) Jared Coreau 5) Brendan Smith

And you can say that, but it's not true.

This is a cardinal sin. May the b-ball gods have NO mercy on their Celtic souls.

It's unbelievable. I could understand if this was the guys first incident, but this dude does this all the time and has learned nothing. League would rather see the Bruins in the playoffs than the Wings.

I'm assuming Florida will protect Reimer so Luongo will be exposed. Could be the other way around, makes no difference to me really. Vegas has 48 hour window to negotiate with UFAs before the expansion draft officially starts. They can sign Bishop prior to the draft, but that counts as their one TBL pick. So yes Bishop is very much in play. Hypothetically say Fleury is traded to Calgary. Then CGY will be forced to expose Elliot. Another guy who will get more attention from Vegas than Coreau. I'm talking about Craig Anderson I'm not saying they will take 3 starters. I'm saying they will take 2. And they need to reach the cap floor, so expensive goalies should be of little concern to them. Term matters more. If they select Raanta and Kinkaid, they will not look at Coreau. Again, they will want some who can spend time developing in their AHL system who can pass those goalies down the line. Coreau is past the AHL already, but not starter caliber. There's almost no scenario where Coreau becomes an attractive pick for them. Howard is a different story.

What are the chances Blash is fired? 1%? Maybe 2?

Ok lets work through this. Lot's of good goalies will be available for Vegas. Bernier, Bishop, Fleury, Darling, Varlamov, Howard, Luongo, Kinkaid, Raanta, Anderson, Miller. Some of these guys may get traded, changing who gets exposed, but the point is Vegas has lots of good options in net. They are going to select 2 very good goalies. Their last choice they will use on a young goalie for their AHL team. Are you honestly suggesting Vegas will use their 3rd goalie pick to select a 25 year old NHL back up goalie? Coreau only has value as an NHL back up. Now lets say somehow all these NHL starters somehow become unavailable, or their teams expose better skaters that Vegas wants, and they need an NHL quality goalie bad. Are you suggesting Vegas will select Coreau over Howard?

It's cause hes American.

Well of course we cant buy. What do we have 50 cents in cap room?

I would stand pat at the Trade Deadline, then hope to find some good Vets in FA this year.
