    Again, no TO AA or Mantha unless you're getting a legit #1.

    Jack Eichel played college hockey and never played more than 40 games.

    http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2016/8/15/12470206/brotherly-love-should-the-wings-trade-for-ryan-miller 😀 Pure talk, but I will say that about 2 years ago I said the Wings will get Miller to play with his brother and end his career at home backing up Mrazek. It'd be too funny if it happens! I like to go back to the Bobby Ryan trade. If Holland had the balls to deal Jarnkrok back then and a Nyquist with high end potential we'd of had and still have a top line scorer on this team. He may be declining a bit, but he is still better than most of our wingers now. I think Larkin slower down because he was forced to play in our enept system. At the beginning of the year he was a wild hare and just played hard to make the team. But as he slowly learned the system, his stats suffered.

    If I recall, when he was in the lineup, Smith did very well for himself last season. If we aren't getting a dman, I say put Smith on the top pair with DD. Jurco needs to be used correctly. He is an offensive threat. But not on the 4th line with Miller and Glendening. When he was with Sheahan and Tatar he did very well. I'd love to see a line of JURCO-AA-MANTHA. Shhhhhhhhhh!

    You're right, most people won't like it. I don't. I happen to think that AA is your future 3rd, then 2nd line center. Nielsen will be #1/#2 for a couple seasons then move down the charts after that. The only way AA or Mantha should be dealt is if it's for a legit #1 throughout the nhl, not just #1 on our team. Next season we'll be without Miller and Ott. Helm and Sheahan can makeup the 4th line with Glendening, making AA your #3 to start his nhl career.

    Ryspayev Should Be Banned.. Disgusting.

    I don't see why he was suspended. So he made a bunch of Russian ******* turtle and run....😭

    Well he'd have a 3rd line spot if not for your boy.

    Everyday I come here and don't see a trade pinned to the top I get more and more sick to my stomach.

    Short answer, no. Long answer, no. I still holding out hope for a fowler and or trouba deal before camp. Helm should not have been signed and Nyquist should've been dealt. There's AA and Mantha top 9 spots. Maybe if miller or ott weren't signed we could have helm on the 4th. Still, deal nyquist and the spots are open.
  11. That was a good one too! Thank you Roy for all the great moments in Red Wings Hockey history!

    What others failing to remember also, before the streak started, we only missed the playoffs twice after 83. We rebuilt on the fly then and we can do it again.

    I'm a huge Holland critic. But remember before we won in 97? We had a core of young players growing together, learning together. Remember when Yzerman was traded in 94 until Mrs. I put the cabash on it? Remember when we signed aging vets like Bob rouse, Mike Ramsey, acquired a past his prime Mike Vernon, remember trading for a 35 year old igor larionov and a 36 year old fetisov? Remember claiming a 30 year Doug brown off the waiver wire? 35 year old Larry Murphy who seemed to be done after failing miserably in Toronto. How about 32 year old Joe kocur out of the beer league? You have to grow a core, you have to influx that with vets. Not a big fan of Helm, but he's obviously part of our core... I wish Holland would make a deal for a D man, but I think he is doing it very similar to the early 90's.
  14. I'll remember Roy for 3 reasons...11 goals, getting his ass kicked, 7 goals.

    Having a motivated Nielsen and Vanek has got to be better than an unmotivated Datsyuk. I wish we were giving AA 3rd line minutes though...

    I Throw Up At The Thought that Pittsburgh has more Cups than us post lockout...😳 I'll take that line, as long as the other scoring line is Tatar-Nielsen-Vanek

    Yes, he played for a couple seasons just complaining about a head ache once in awhile, and saying he just wasn't interested sometimes. So, no, it's not ignorant. It took a few seasons for everyone to get on the same page of it being concussion symptoms. When nobody knew, we all thought he was just floating around and complaining about a headache. Enough about our best power forward of all time and the main reason we won in 08. He's the bestest! Now, how about a trade or two Kenny?

    It'll jump up to 10 when AA, Mantha get sent down, and if Jensen and Sproul clear waivers.

    Oh, I forgot how great he was. He once scored 5 goals in a game. If it wasn't for a head ache, he'd a been the next Shanahan!
