Are we having a last season moment in the 2nd? Can't give this up. Call a TO Blashill.

I said thus far...

Just want to clear some much needed cap space. We can wait until the deadline though, if he continues, he may get us a 1st rounder!

A couple of observations....can I retract my miss the playoffs prediction? Also, Sproul is staying. I think officially XO has become the young D that would be involved in any trade. Nyquist is making Tatar look like he may be the one traded if we deal a forward. Helm looks good again. I'll eat the Helm and Nyquist crow thus far, but as long as I can gloat about my immediate affection of the Vanek signing.

Me thinks Carolina needs a goalie.

Uh oh, Frk with the hatty, Nestrasil with 2. Lol! I kid....I hope! Wings win!

Lest we forget, Holland traded Vernon after winning the Cup in 97 for what I think was a 3rd round pick. Winning doesn't guarantee you'll still be here. Oops, it was two 2nd round picks.

I don't think it's a good idea to take Nyquist off that line. Sometimes it's not how good you're playing, it's how good your linemates make you play. Those three together have great chemistry. Not gonna say he wont do good with Nielsen, nor AA with Helm. They may keep up the production and that will be nothing but good for us. Also like that Sproul has been good. Nothing but positives the last 4. I give them 5 wins tonight.

Strange...I see its not showing as a link, but I typed it in and it came up. Just type it in and I will continue to try to get the link to work. Sorry. Ok link works.

I agree, there's no way to get all three players. I'm holding out for two, but in reality we may only get one....or none. I think it'll be Fowler.Winnipeg is just too unrealistic in their demands, but that's because they're in the driver's seat. If we can clear space somehow to fit Fowler in, I think he could be had for a pick. At most a young player and lower pick.

#TheWalkingDead....totally devastated.

I don't think he was going to move DD for Trouba. That Dreger report said they asked for Larkin and that we didn't have anyone else they were interested in. Dreger then speculated that "you would think Dekeyser would get the deal done." IMO, the price will come down. It will have to if WPG wants a deal, but they are in the drivers seat and don't mind being pricks about it and making him sit for a year as a form of "punishment." I certainly hope the play of Howard has turned some eyes this way. 2 games is a small sample size, but if he keeps it up, Holland could be hearing some phones ring.

It's a risk either way. If we get one of the targets, XO or Sproul will probably be included in a deal. Fortunately we can only lose 1 player. But until a trade happens, its all guessing. You're right though, Vegas would probably ****** Sproul up before a 32 year old. As of right now: Protect: Abby, Nyquist, Tatar, Mantha, AA, Nielsen. (Now which forward do you use the last one on, Helm or Sheahan?) DD, XO, Sproul Mrazek LOL, the curse word filter, filtered out the word used for a quick grab! Rhymes with catch.

I agree with Green, but, if we do acquire both Trouba and Fowler, you may want to protect them along with DD. But if we get either, it'll most likely just be one. In that case, for example, if Green continued his pace, I protect Fowler, DD and Green. With the way Howard is playing, if not traded at tge deadline, he may be our one player to be selected.

I meant one of Tatar or Nyquist in my proposal.

Gilchrist is lazy and he sucks... Calling GilchristFOREVER, GillyFo are you there?

Howie is upping his value thus far.

Glenn, Michonne, Abraham or Maggie?

I think Z should sit this back to back. Put AA in with Larkin. Larkin - AA - Abby Tatar - Nielsen - Sheahan Nyquist - Helm - Vanek Miller - Glenn (he's not dead!) - Ott

Going to have to move amounts that most likely reflects the likes of Howard, Smith, Tatar/Nyquist, and I think XO would be the young D going back to WPG. Trade Howard for a 3rd to clear cap, trade that 3rd to Anaheim for Fowler, trade XO, Smith, Nyq/Tat and a pick for Trouba.

I was pretty upset about losing him, but I was pretty sure I didn't make that statement. Then again, I have been known!

Lets keep rolling! Should be a pretty good test here! I was way off on my predictions last night, so I am gonna just say! We Win! (if Jimmy has another New York Night)

Just putting it out there that Jarrod Tinoridi has until 12 today to clear waivers.

Won't be able to watch. but I'll be listening on my road trip. I hope for another win, I hope the hot players stay hot and the cold ones heat up! Vanek with 2 goals tonight, 1 on the PP. Green and Larkin. Detroit wins 4-2. Empty net goal by Green. Nielsen with 3 helpers!

Nobody took offense, I certainly didn't. I too think Fowler would be the easier of the two to acquire, but like I said, I'm holding out for BOTH! Uh....Sproul never got sent down, he is playing tonight and XO is a healthy scratch. With Kronner being injured they kept 8 D-Men on the roster. Even with Kronner on the mend, his cap is still there, so even when he comes back, they don't need to send either of XO or Sproul down. My theory is they are rotating them here and there to basically audition for the job when it does come down to crunch time, or a trade.
