Liljegren probably won't be there at 7-10. If he gets 1-3 he damn well better not draft Liljegren.

Never heard of the kid. It'd be a typical Holland experimental pick trying to look like he knows what he's doing. Meanwhile all other teams draft the kids that are supposed to be drafted and Holland looks even more like a buffoon. There are no more hidden gems over there! Save the experiments for the later flipping rounds!

For what it's worth, if Holland drafts that kid, I will go so apes*** that I'll probably get banned from here, which would suck, but then again, I'd never watch another Red Wings game again, so I'd have nothing to discuss anyhow. Every last piece of Red Wings parphanelia would hit the bonfire. That would be the last nail in the coffin of my life as a Wings fan.

Still I don't trade AA for Trouba, and I'm probably one of the biggest fan of getting him here. Let's see where our draft lottery ends up. Then we'll see what type of player we can expect to get or trade return. If players like Trouba are going cost too much in trade, I say keep what you have, draft the best kid you can and try to score Shattenkirk as plan A. If you can't land him, then plan B starts with exploring trade routes. Does anyone know if the expansion draft is before or after the amateur draft? That could play a big role in needs moving forward.

I say Hitch goes back to Dallas, Gallant to Vegas, Sutter to Vancouver. ..although, it'd be sweet to at least get Sutter here as an A. I don't think he'd take the job, unless all HC jobs were already filled. He'd be a perfect replacement if Blas hill doesn't make it past next season.

I would definitely trade our 1st to Anaheim for Fowler and their 1st. If who I wanted at #7 wasn't there. I'd then draft Hague if he were still available.

I like Trouba, would love to have him here, is he a #1 D throughout the NHL? No. Would he be #1 here? Yes. With that being said, I think that with Winnipeg knowing he'd be our #1 that they'd inflate the asking price for us. So I agree with you guys it would cost more than just our 1st, and more than I'd be comfortable parting with. Unless we get shafted and wind up 10th, I think we sure just keep our pick unless a nice deal comes along that improves us and doesn't take away from our building core.

Now everybody wants to trade AA. This kid is the best thing you have for the future.

AA is going nowhere.

OK, so now, where did we end up and what are our chances for a top 3?

At the very least, blashill will be back next season. If Holland gets a promotion after next season, odds are the incoming GM will choose his own coach. So it would be useless to fire blashill, hire a new staff only to fire them after one season and search for a new staff all over again. Blashill will be with us at least one more season.

There's my boy Sergei! Don't worry Sergei, you'll be back when they raise your number up in LCA!

Franzen was our playoff acquisition! Playoff Franzen is back!

Going through the intro's now...with the exception of Vladdy,.no Russians...another cold war?

Just a request, I'm watching on DVD. No spoilers please! Lol! Just kidding, I'll stay away until I catch up!

I still miss Tiger Stadium...hopefully I don't dislike LCA, like I HATE Commerica, 17 years from now!

Lol, no Journey.

Mick's crying!

....as I burst into tears!

Oh I thought Abby had a helper...

Wolverine to a SPARTAN to a Fighting Irish!

Two local kids with the helpers! CCHA represent!

Of course how fitting will this be? Sheahan last goal?

All due respect your Z, but we need a local kid to score the last ever goal here... As long as it's not a game tying or winning one, I'd even take Andy Greene.

We can't have the last goal scored by the visiting team...
