    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    at the price of a draft pick, it wouldn't hurt. IMO. Hell we could probably get him for the ever popular future considerations!

    Ok, Ok, that was a emotional blurp there...wait to see if Jimmy can win that series orbetter yet, take us deep (ewww) this spring...then come draft day, BAM! Howard for Bogo/Stewart/1st. Yes, I am in dream land, but if Jimmy pukes again in the playoffs...off with his head! (contract)

    So, with Enroth being traded for scraps, let's "convince" Jimmy to waive his NTC to go home to Buffalo for Bogo, Stewart and a 1st.

    What would you guys think of Kenny if he got Franson for a pick and prospect, then acquired Jagr for a pick? Do you think that would help us up front? Guess the playoff experience and leadership from Jagr couldn't hurt for a run at it, would it?

    2/5 GDT - Red Wings 3 at Avalanche 0

    http://blogs.denverpost.com/avs/2015/02/05/patrick-roy-mackinnon-fighting-red-wings-crowd/20770 Terry Frei (@TFREI) takes yet another stale shot at living in the city of Detroit. How long until this joke gets old? We get it, Denver is a nicer place than Detroit. We get it, most places are nicer than the city of Detroit, but WTF does it have to do with winning or losing a Hockey game or the lack of fan support in Denver? so, winning or losing and fan support has nothing to do with the product on the ice, but everything to do with more Detroiters move to Denver than they move to Detroit because of the state of the city. We get it, Detroit still has problems, but if your kid is failing school, is it positive to keep calling him/her a failure or a retard? No, is has the quite opposite affect. Plus it gets old and stale and they grow tired and irritated of hearing it and one day you wake up and your kid blows up a school...

    ...so wait, the Avs organization retired Ray Bourque's number, but Claude Lemieux's is still in circulation?

    of course I can see the NHL telling the teams to take liberties on each other in order to spice up an otherwise uneventful outdoor game next year...

    Ya, their game plan is all Patrick Roy. Soon he'll call his son out of the crowd on Mrazek. I think its time for a Kronwalling...

    Oh! $4.6M! Ok, yeah, that is way too low to stay in TO given its current affairs. Maybe $5.25-$5.5M could get it done then. We will see!

    I also like that quote. Which is why initially when we heard that TO wanted a 2nd and a NHL ready prospect, I was thinking our 2nd and Marchenko. But that may be a bit overpayment for a rental. Not that I don't think Cody would not re-sign here, but there are a lot of teams out there willing to throw a ton of money at players! Then we would be out Marchenko. Now, if we were talking a 2nd and an offensive player, I would rest a little easier losing a Ferraro, Aubry type player for a rental. But, I think there are teams out there that could offer a bit more than that.

    Franson turned down $5.5M(I believe) from TO, although I think that maybe that was just a kind way of saying he wants out! I can see him getting $6Mish somewhere. Could it be here? Stay tuned!

    I will leave that for others to answer, but I will just add that I have worked at DTW since 1991 and have met FAR too many of those to even begin to list. I miss the days where teams didn't have the own jets and traveled via commercial airline!

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    Nevermind, the rumor originated from the @HockeyInsiderr twitter account... I still think we could move our 1st rounder for one year for something we need now and not endanger our future with all the talent we have developing. I think it would be worth the risk. Even if Franson left. Although, he would see that once you come here, and the money is available, there is no real reason to leave...

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    Without looking over the last few pages, it is rumored that TO wants a 1st rounder for Franson. Does anyone think Holland would do it? I believe that we have enough up and coming talent that we could afford to miss one 1st round at the chance to make our team immediately better, thoughts?

    The person below me game...

    I get around 7 hours Tuesday-Friday. I work two 17 our shifts on Sat/Sun and an 8 on Mon. I get about 4 hours Sat/Sun night... They were introduced in the VD, but their show "The Originals" in a million times better! Less "love story" more action! They are the Original Vampires. Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah are bad assess, Klaus is actually a hybrid Vamp/Wolf. Kol and Finn are no longer Vamps, they are witches. It's complicated.... It's my guilty pleasure, sue me! Speaking of, TPBM is not afraid to admit their guilty pleasure and will divulge it when they post!

    Honestly if Franson did get traded here and then signed long term, I could pretend that it was the same Franson the entire time and pretend the horrible Choice never happened. He would for sure make me forget about the other guy...

    Cast a Hockey Player for a Movie

    This one is too obvious: Sidney Crosby in the remake Crybaby followed by his Oscar w(h)inning performance in The Greg Louganis Story...

    I absolutely cannot stand Tom Cruise, but if I had to name a favorite one starring him it would be: The Outsiders The Person Below Me knows who Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, Kol and Finn are and what they are known as.

    KRSmith, again, would you give up Smith for Franson? You seem to know a ton about him (and I am not disputing that at all) and you think he is better than all 6 of our starters, then why not offer up Smith to guarantee we land him?

    Would you trade Smith for Franson?
