ahhhhhh Eva. So good.

Well, can Anaheim or San Jose afford him? Anaheim have the big three on defence eating up the cash, and San Jose will make a pitch to sign Campbell I imagine. And if Stuart wants to play in California, this leaves LA. Does he really want to go back there? If Stuart can't find a fit in California, which seems likely, then why not Detroit?

This AHL business is tricky. Yes, in one way it makes sense to let Ericsson play in Grand Rapids, getting a ton of ice time, to help his development. But the guy can't stay there forever. I feel that too much time in the minors will impede his progress. Getting to play in Detroit with Lidstrom, Chelios, Rafalski, etc might be better for him than logging big minutes in the minors. Just my 2 cents.

ahhhhhhhhh. I see.

Why don't you just tell us the rumors?

Also noted from this article Not sure I like this one. I was hoping there would be more room for the young guys (Ericsson, Meech, etc.)

Who the hell started this thread anyway?

Good work kronwall. Now drink more Milk.

I say screw next year's deadline. Re-sign Filpulla, Cleary, Chelios, Hudler, and Downey. Let Lilja go. Hasek to retire. Sign Brian Rolston and a UFA Defenceman, Ron Hainsey: Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom Cleary - Filpulla - Rolston Sammuelson - Franzen - Hudler Maltby - Draper - Kopecky Downey Lidstrom - Rafalski Kronwall - Hainsey Chelios - Ericsson Lebda Osgood Howard ?

I love Richards. He's from my home. If the Wings puke out this spring, I'd have no problems with Dallas going all the way.

Get healthy. Stay healthy.

I agree 100% with this post. I would also like to add that I think Brian Rolston will be signed by Detroit in July. He'll be the 4M dollar player.

Well: 1.) Miller would have to come cheap. Otherwise, he won't fit under the cap. 2.) My vote would be for a Miller-Howard tandem. Deal Osgood. As much as I love Chris, Jimmy would be a cheaper back-up, with more future in front of him.

Adversity.

This thread is officially obsolete.

Or how about this? Lidstrom - Rafalski Kronwall - Stuart Chelios - Lilja Noooooooooooooooooooooo Lebdaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting Stuart on that 2nd PP unit was as good as trading Sammy.

STAURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hossa to Pens. Official.

3 mothaf***ing minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Salei went for nothing? Skrastins and a 3rd round pick? Detroit would have had to trade Lilja and a 2nd round pick (which they don't have) to even come close to matching that offer.

What are you talking about? I was reffering to Harold's post regarding the fact that Detroit has holes to fill, regarless of what any other team does at the deadline. That's what Harold said, and I'm agreeing with him, not Burke.

Listening to TSN's trade deadline coverage. Just thought I'd like to outline some of McGuire's anti-Wings comments: - "If there was any team that NEEDED Mats Sundin, it was Detroit. They're in BIG TROUBLE right now" - " Mark my words, in 2009, Detroit will sign Ryan Miller. They need a goalie in a big way. And Jimmy Howard's NOT the answer" - plus, everyone submitted a list of their top 5 Stanley Cup favourites. Detroit was on every list except McGuire's. I'll update this thread as we go. edit: can someone please change the spelling on this thread.
