Then trade him now. No need to wait.

Ya, his attitude about the 1 year deal is what we're discussing, but it's nice to see multiple news agencies reporting on it. Gives it much more substance. Like I said, it's not like I don't think he's worth money, but we only have so much cap, and we cannot undercut AA. Sign him first, deal with Tatar after. Or trade his rights today. A package of Tatar and Mrazek may bring us a nice return.

Well, right now I turn my attention to AA and Tatar can have what's left. Because we have roughly $6.2M left after Franzen and AA is more important to the future of this club. I got a feeling it's going to coat us more than $1.2M for him, so that leaves less than $5M for Tatar. If Tatar gets the $5.5M or $6M he wants, then what? If I'm making a choice, I choose AA.

It's not the production, I'm good with that, it's this attitude problem saying that if they award him 1 yr. It'll be his last season in Detroit. I don't want that here. I'm a big Tatar and Mrazek fan, but if they are cancers in the room, they need to go.

Nah, 66....Vanek will have 26. I'm out on Tatar...trade his rights and give Vanek a contract.

I don't like the attitude. Trade his rights for a pick now. And yes, AA Will be a future star. I give him $2M per yr. today for 3 yrs. It's situations like this that rub fans the wrong way. After reading this, I'm out on Tatar.

We only have so much cap. I know he is getting a raise, but not at the expense of AA. I trade BOTH Tatar and Nyquist before I don't have AA on this team. Best case scenario, get AA signed before Tatar.

No bait needed. Nothing in that article surprised me. What'll surprise me is, when he has his rookie season, if he scores less than 35 goals and doesn't get ROY.

Not Holland, but speaks volumes!

Once in awhile I let out a rant. Like this classic!

I sure miss the Holland gifs.

I just think he should've made a deal to lose a larger salary. I didn't like how he said he won't be making any deals.

Less can be more exciting...dont know about you, but last season wasn't so exciting, and thus far, off season has been underwhelming. Guarantee Holland is off golfing somewhere. He screwed the pooch on expansion draft and day 1 of draft and will not trade away any assets to clear cap in order to reload correctly. We should be down at least $15M in cap right now. But no, we're at $2M and no room to even try to better this team, because he won't trade picks or "loyal" players. Ericsson, Helm, Nyquist, Howard, Glendening, Abby...theyre all replaceable within the system now...

Hyman re-signs with Toronto. $2.25M per season. It's so nice to see 30 other teams having better rosters than ours. We have to hold on to garbage like Ericsson, Helm, Nyquist, Howard. If we can rid ourselves of that overpaid bunch of crap, we could actually look to make a splash and get better. But instead, we're going to have the highest payroll again and have the worst team...sorry, I'm just suck of this. The ******* streak is over, fire sale this *****!

Too bad we won't sign any of them. Then again, we could be looking at a new GM. It would be awesome to snag Panarin just to rub it in The Hawks face. Too bad without trades, there will be no room.I'd love to land land Panarin, Duchene and Eberle out of that group. Now we're talking reloading! Simmonds is always a great option too! I could see OEL taking his show to Ottawa to play with Karlsson.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of should've could've would've with Tippett. That one we will regret! Hague was gone in the 2nd so I can't be upset about that. Of course even if Tippett is scoring 30+ and Rasmussen is too, then it'll soften the pain a bit... I'll always like Hague and will always mention him in trade scenarios and free agent signing for years to come! They were two of my favorite players in the draft and I will always be a fan!

There are two players I've always wanted in our organization, but they've signed with Montreal and Pittsburgh this season....Joe Morrow and Jarred Tinordi. I know they haven't really made it full time NHL yet, but I just always wished we could've gotten them off the wire somehow...its nice to see that they are still signing NHL contracts. They've both been around the block a few times since they were drafted, but ironically Morrow was drafted by Pit and is now in MTL and Tinordi was drafted by MTL and is now in PIT. We could've had Tinordi, but we chose Sheahan and Tinordi went next. Morrow went right before we were to pick in 2011 then we traded our 1st to get a 2nd snd drafted Jurco.

I'm sure the roids didn't help...

NM

Boyle to Devils...dang wouldve liked him. Mason to Jets Lol, Trevors kid wearing a Michigan shirt.

when I think of the Sharks losing when they were favorites I think of that sharks kid on youtube.... freaking awesome. "WHERE ARE YOU GOD DAMN BRAINS BOY?!" "You're making an ass of yourself for all eternity!"

...and then the refs will just give him a penalty everytime he hits someone at all because Uncle Gary. Then he'll never get playing time because he costs us to many power play goals against. Meanwhile Crosby can still chop players fingers off and throw water bottles at opposing players as the play goes up the ice, because....Uncle Gary...

Wait, #whodidhollandtrade? ...oh.
