I'd ask for a high 2nd for Mrazek, and retain $3.5M. Cap hit for the rest of this season is a non issue.

another game missed.

...another game that I didn' even know was on. Seriously, been a fan since '79 and I don't even care to look.at the schedule anymore. I am just one person, but really, am I? How many more lifelong fans are not even caring anymore? It's time for a sweep from head to toe. Trusting the process is unacceptable when you have the highest payroll in the nhl. I'd be trusting the process of learning if everyone not named Zetterberg, Larkin, Mantha, Anthanasiou, Frk, Bertuzzi and maybe Dekeyser was replaced with more deserving kids. Fire ALL management and coaching, Gut this team for draft picks, bring up inexpensive kids and then watch a proces. Training camp for the rest of the year...

Trade me right ******* now!

I say no to trying to acquire Karlsson via trade. Continue the slide, trade players at the deadline, have the best chance at #1 pick, MAKE A HUGE OFFER TO TAVARES, then dump some more salary over the summer if needed. Trade at deadline: Green, Nyquist(Tatar) and Helm (Abby) and XO for some draft picks. I'd love to have TWO 1st round picks this June to go along with the two 2nds and 3rds. Next season, we MUST be the top player in the JT sweeps and then if we can draft Dahlin, that would be the best scenario to get this team on track. Next years D looks like this kind of: Green is gone, XO is gone, Kronwall retires: Daley - Dahlin DD - Cholowski Hicketts - Jensen Ericsson Not the best look at the moment, but once Dahlin nets ROY award and Tavares leads the team in scoring, we COULD be an attractive team for Karlsson via UFA and other UFA's may follow. Which may encourage Z to finish his contract (we avoid the penalty) BTW, I do not qualify Mrazek this summer and let him pursue a job somewhere else. He needs it.

Nah, can' give away both our core youngsters... Harbough can't even beat his in state rival nor his biggest rival, let alone make a move like that. Overrated.

Trade Green for a 1st, trade Nyquist for a 1st. Trade Mantha, Tatar and those two firsts for Karlsson. Keep our 1st, draft Dahlin.

Did someone say dumb posts? I thought I felt my name being mumbled! If I had a dollar for every post I put here thinking it was funny, sheesh! No worries Andy! Your posts are valuable to our forum! Good on you for trying to make light of our situation! Now, if you guys wanna talk when all this started, let' talk Hossa v. Franzen! "The Choice" I joke, I joke!

Well then dump him. If we're gonna having s***ty goalies, I'd prefer not to be paying them $9M to do so. We can bring up two inexperienced for less than $3M combined.

Put everyone making $3.5M+, not named Zetterberg on the block!

Didn' watch the game, but re: Goalies, the rotation is what is hurting both. How can you get consistent when no matter how you play, you never kno w if you'e playing the next game. It can get in your head. Just ******* pick one and roll with him. Or better yet, trade them both, bring up Coreau for a year long training camp! Tank for Dahlin complete.

Does this mean the floor raises too? We could sure help some teams out with some salary!

None taken.

answer: Coaching staff and it also falls a bit on leadership.

That's because the username I chose, which is just a position on the ice, has nothing to do with politics. If it had any bearing, I'd be called Center.

Uh oh....more Russia news for CNN to report on.... Seriously though, it' crazy that these type things are still going on.

Cough, cough....you don' know me very well. I am the furthest thing from one of these traitorous snowflakes.....cough, cough. You'd be really surprised.

So in a couple of months, Scott went from the best team in the East, to an abysmal team in the East to the worst team in the east. I'm sorry Scott.....

or maybe we'll just send them Wilson.

Not quite the cap dump I was expecting...plus, Scott Wilson was hardly the problem player(s) on this team. Gotta love those 5th round picks! /S

Sorry, I was assuming the question was which one do you go with now. That is why I said if I had to choose, I'd go with Mrazek. Trade Jimmys cap, hold on tight with Petr and let him walk July. That would be my plan. We aren' gaining $4M in cap space next year, we already have that space available next year. I'm all for letting Petr go. But I want to gain Jimmys cap next year as well as not re-signing Petr.

Trade them both. Seriously. It' time to tank it. If we don' the #1 or #2 trade it for a position of need plus an extra 2nd. But if I had to choose, I'd go Mrazek. For no other reason but to ditch Jimmys cap.

Holland won' be GM anyhow.

Most enjoyable game I've ever watch the Wings lose. But if Blash and crew still have a job Monday then something is seriously wrong.
