LeftWinger

Ya, let's trade for another first, draft Liljegren and Brannstrom.... ...wow. that's making our team more suited to win a Cup.

The wings were always too old. All of them, not just the hof'ers.

It's funny how nowadays players are declining when they reach 30. Wasn't long ago you weren't even a UFA until you were 31. Plenty, PLENTY of quality players were signed for multiple years then. Hell, some players didn't even peak until their 30's. Remember all those "too old" Red Wings that just kept winning and winning? You'll all be surprised and shaking your heads when Bishop in 6 years is still better than what we have and still one of the tops in the league.

Kinda like the almost $10M we have tied up in 2 broken down useless defensemen.

Sticks up and elbows high when Crosby is near you. Watch your fingers, they have a nasty habit of falling off around him.

Not me... Btw, Sens miss playoffs 2 out of the last 3 seasons, now in ECF. Take note Holland...take note.

...with Bishop we'd have a better chance of winning the Cup within his 6 years than we do with our current goalies throughout thecs system within t bffge next 6 years. But, alas, none of that matters now. We'll be a lottery team again.

Well, I'm hoping our guy turns it around. I'd we have another season of below average goaltending, it may be time to start looking...

Hilarious how you guys were like, we don't want him, he wants top dollar, he'll too expensive...now makes less than Howard. Awesome! Nill hit the lottery!

If we were fortunate to be on his trade list, I wouldve given LA a 3rd for him, signed him and left both Howard and Mrazek unprotected. So will howard...he'll get worse, and that's almost impossible.

Howard.....gone!

$4.9M to $5.2M Bishop is better than Howard and will still be better 6 years from now. Nill will ditch the cap problem. He may even dump both his backups. Eaves? 1st round pick...nuff said.

Great deal by Nill. And for a 4th rounder...We're starting to see who had the brains in Detroit. A superior goalie than Howard, younger than Howard, smaller cap hit than Howard. Ya, we didn't want any part of that....meanwhile we have Howard. Modern day version of Sammy St. Laurent. ...plus a 1st round pick for Eaves. We got a yippie ki ya 3rd for Vanek. I know it was a conditional pick for Eaves, but so was ours...a 3rd or a 3rd. Yay Holland!

That'd be cool. Throw them a 3rd and E for future considerations to get them to take Howard in the draft. I'm in!

He will have the starting job in GR. Because Coreau will be in Detroit backing up whichever one isn't traded.

We can only lose one player...but I wonder if there's any rules against a team making a deal with them allowing them to have 2....hmmmm....

Ben bishop and now two 1st round draft picks. Holland's gonna draft Pettersson and Nill will get Tippett and Hague. That'll be my rotten luck...

Not quite. I'd prefer the led light show. The options are endless. Red Wings logo, Pistons logo, different bands, events. Fireworks, news years celebrations. Stanley Cup. Just not excited about the Caesar guy up there.

I hate the pens. The caps are to the pens what the blues were to the Wings.

His quote meant he didn't look at Detroit winning and regret that he could've been there, because he followed it up with that would drive himself nuts and he made a decision and stuck with it. I'm right more than wrong. The only thing irritating is every time I say something you troll it and say how wrong I am, without finding out before you open your mouth. Nothing I say embarrasses me, right or wrong. Also I'm not a bigot. But guess what keep your opinion, because I know better. With Fedorov and Lidstrom as two if my favorite players, I don't see what you see. I like Z, Hedman, Ovechkin. I dislike McDavid, Crosby and Helm along with Franzen, Nyquist, Ericsson and Howard. What exactly am I a bigot towards? You can not answer that if you don't want to, because I'd hate for you to be wrong again. Not once have you corrected me, so get over yourself.

Yes, but my post said what if there was a player they really wanted bad. Plus I wasn't just trading the 9th, I said plus an asset. If Calgary really wanted Liljegren and knew Detroit was interested but knew 100 % #10 wanted him if Detroit passed on him. It's not out of the question to propose such a deal. Just like when Phoenix wanted Chychrun. They gave up their 1st to only moved up 2, plus gave Detroit an extra 2nd rounder AND took Dats salary off of us. Things can happen. It won't ever happen the way a fan proposes it, but it's not like it couldn't.

Question is, will either of them be traded in a package for d-man or would they just be salary relief? Things are starting to get exciting.

https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2017/05/snapshots-mironov-sobotka.html Sakic says changes coming. If an option would you trade our 1st for someone on Colorado?

Bishop also has a M-NTC plus a NMC. These things don't matter. If a team wants to trade a player bad enough, he'll get traded. I hope that Howard gets traded and gets us a 4th. We reallt need some cap relief. Id like to see about $4M lost in expansion and also trade about $8M.

What I will be interested in seeing is if he signs with NSH, will he get nhl time right away or go to the A.
