the point of "doing this" is because we aren't going to have room in two years for 4 defensemen. Ouelett is staying, but he along with the three RH'rs are all out of exemptions 2016. With re-signing Smith and Dekeyser by then that leaves 2 spots for for 3 defensemen that year. Rather than to be forced to trade one of them when nobody is going offer you value for them because if you waive him someone can get him for free. Getting high volume for him now for someone who has more exemptions lessons the log jam in 16. I chose to mention Santini because he is a high prospect that is also RH'd, a leader and expected to be a very good NHL defenseman. NJ is struggling right now and Marchenko is pretty much ready to step in to the NHL, he is an AHL all star and according to experts, he is our top D prospect. He could step in and help NJ and since he is a top prospect, it would lesson their loss of Santini. Us getting Santini allows us to spread out the D graduation to Detroit instead of having to deal with 4 players who cannot be sent down all at once.

correct! still thinking on yours...

with the log jam at D upcoming, I really do nit want to lose any of our Griffs for nothing. Marchenko is just about NHL ready, I would contact NJ and ask about swapping him for Santini. Marchenko would step right in the lineup for NJ as early as next season, possibly this season. Santini would give us a couple extra years of flexibility before he runs out of exemptions. They are both RH'd so we wouldn't be losing that and like I said, it would give us more flexibilty with the transition of our kids.

I am still racking my brain on the imposter one! While we try to figure that one out, chew on this one: Disney nanny's remedy delivery system engaging in The act of agape.

The kid is 18, I am not sure he would even remember watching Yzerman play, maybe the last couple of years Steve played. If anything he may change his favorite player to Pav or Z. But you can't blame him for rooting for the underdog's in Toronto. He probably liked them because noone else did, and everyone else liked the Wings. Same goes with Crosby, he probably started liking him just to piss off his friends.

I agree with that too! It's the same idea, there is no reason anyone should interfere with anyone else's rights to free choice. If I want to have stem cells injected in my body to save my life from certain death, its my choice. I am not playing God, I just want to live a long healthy life. Freedom of Choice, I support it, I just wish that we really had it here! Thank Goodness Gordie was able to go somewhere and get this done....on a funny note, it makes you wonder if indeed Andy Kaufman is alive and well.

This is pretty sad..... ....pretty sad that Gordie had to go to a 3rd world country to have a life saving procedure done that this country, supposedly the greatest country on earth REFUSES to ok throught the FDA! Really America?f****** Tijuana, Mexico? Of course I could imagine the price you'd have to pay in America to have this procedure done if it ever got the ok to go forward with it. Obama and his cronies would have their hands all over it. Of course, they don't make as much money CURING these things as they do "TREATING" them... ...a story like this makes me happy for the patient, but pissess me the f*** off knowing that the cures are out there, yet the NWO just allows people to become debt slaves to medical bills and just die off in obvious population control attemtps. "They" don't want us living until we are 100, "they" want us dead before or soon after you retire and stop giving them you income taxes... Libertarian, Minimum Government, Maximum Freedom!

you forgot "...of America" The Presidents of the United States of America is the entire name... dang, I guess Prentenders was wrong, I still cannot get 55fan's and now my head is racking on yours! Ugh!

It is of my opinion that ALL 4 guys should be on this team come 2016. But unfortunately it will be too crowded. I really believe Petry is either going to be traded for or he will come here as a UFA in the summer. You are now forced to deal with a bit of overcrowding. Smith will have to re-signed, if he isn't dealt. I really think all of the D are playing pretty great right now, even Q. He has seemed to have settled in a role that fits him. I am not saying I like him, nor do I want anything to do with him re-signing, but he ha settled in and is making far less mistakes. I would be ok with trading Smith and replacing him with Petry, but I'd much rather trade Ericsson. Although I know it isn't happening, but my order of importance puts Smith ahead of Ericsson. But that is just me. If somehow we got a hold of Petry for Kindl, who else would lose icetime? Right now, XO is in for Kindl, so just moving K, would not open a spot for Petry. Do we bow out of the trade day events and roll the dice we can land him on July 1? You could move K for a pick (if that is possible) and then go with Petry in the summer. If you re-sign Smith, your D looks like this: Kronner - Ericsson Dekeyser - Petry Quincey - Oulette Smith/Lashoff ...at which point you see that Smith is the odd man out. I don't think that Holland would pass on the opportunity if Petry came calling and wanted to play at home. He probably could be had for a bit less than market value if he indeed wants to play for the Wings. I think if Smith is re-signed, do you sit him at #7 and dump Lashoff? I think Smith is too good to be a #7. XO most likely will not be sent down to GR ever again, so now what? Do you try to trade Q over the summer? IMO that would be the best idea. But now you are looking at a log jam in 2016. Danny D gets re-signed, thats a no brainer, now you have Marchenko, Jensen, Sproul all out of exemptions. All RD'd and only one place to go....#7. Yikes...to me, Ericsson becomes tradeable in order to make room for those guys. But we know how Holland feels about Ericsson, so what to do? I know one of the 3 RH'rs will probably get traded or claimed on waivers, but damn if we will be forced to trade TWO of them or lose two of them...Especially after all of our lack of RH'rs woes. IMO, and it ain't gonna be very popular, by the time 2016-17 rolls around, the WIngs have to be rid of Lashoff, Kindl, Quincey and one of Smith, Ericsson in order to have Petry here and protect their young assets. Kronner - Dekeyser Petry - Ouellet Sproul - Marchenko Smith/Jensen If they need to trade Marchenko or Jensen to keep Smith in the top 6, I hate it, but you have to do what you have to do. Kronner - Ericsson Petry - Dekeyser Ouellet - Sproul Jensen/Marchenko We are losing someone very important to the future of this team no matter how you slice it....yikes...and yikes again!

This kid is the real deal. He was a gem of a pick, and he represents the state of Michigan well! I have an issue with his choice of college, but thats my problem, not his! LOL! Anyhow, this kid to me should be on that short "Do Not Call About" list. I am in love with the future lines of: Tatar - Sheahan - Nyquist Mantha - Larkin - Pulkkinen I can easliy see the combo of Larkin and Mantha being the next dynamic set of forwards after Dats/Z hang em up. Sure, it may be 4 years or so before we see Larkin in Detroit, but he will be worth the wait! I only hope Holland isn't desperate on a future deadline day and have to trade him ala Jarnkrok...

The Wings need to come hard and come fast against every team they play, esecially bottom dwellers. For years and YEARS the Wings were accused of and play like they were old and slow. They couldn't keep up with the young fast teams. Now they are young and fast, so why play the game like the old and slow Wings? I never understood why you would try to surpress the attributes of certain players. These kids are super fast and super skilled. Play that game and 9 times out of 10, you are going to beat the teams you are supposed to beat and surprise some of the better ones. I hope beyond hope that we see the fast and skilled Wings tonight skating circles around Buffalo, and not a slow lathargic one playing down to another bottom dweller. That will only spell trouble.

Mrazek is going to shine again and cement his position as a permanent fixture in Detroit! Watch out Jimmy!

The Pretenders? Probably not....along with that let's add this one to chew on: George Washington - Barack Obama

I am drawing a blank....we'll see if someone else can help

Yes, two 16 hour shifts and one 8 on Sat/Sun/Mon...but I get 4 days off a week! Person Below Me Knows What A "Basic" Cartridge Is and What It Went To!

Give It Away - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Blessid Union of Souls?

The Everly Brothers (?) The only other thing I could come up with is Good Charlotte because there are two brothers in the band and they are from Waldorf, MD. But I am going to go with the Everly Bros. I know Hilton has something to do with the Waldorf, but the only thing I can think of is Tyler Hilton... Vincent Furnier shackled

throw in Ferraro and Callahan with Franzen and Kindl and give us Doan and Yandle!

Free Fallin - Tom Petty

Yes, thrown Rice! Also got rice stuck in my ear at my wedding! Lol! proud Libertarian here! person below has 3 or more kids!

Sex Pistols was too easy! hmmmm....this may be as well 19 first 20 last ensemble

well, then I was joking about being happy Franzen extending his contract back in 2009. Didn't you pick that up from the way I typed it?

So, Kip, when you say something that not's very popular, you are just kidding around...when others have opinions that aren't very popular, they are obnoxious assholes that flip flop their opinions like houses get flipped on DIY... I get it now! I understand your agenda!

Kindl has to go...period. He isn't playing and we could sure use his cap hit. I too think Holland will go after Green, but I think he will not get him due to salary. I think Lashoff should be dealt as well and next season promote Jensen to Lashoff's #7 spot. Nothing against Lashoff what-so-ever, but Jensen is right-handed and could help out in that aspect. Could easily get a spot in the top 6 if the Wings are not able to land a top 4 RH'er...
