I agree, it's time to be aggressive. Time to sit back is over...if you can make this deal, then make it. Include Abby for all I care. This is Bobby Ryan... Steve McCarthy and Adam Munro.....so ya...pretty much just Eriksson for Chelios in the end...

Ya, don't think they were even there...they will be there tomorrow for sure, hopefully Holland get dirty tomorrow!

I agree with what you are saying, but the fans don't make the trades...If I had to throw a prospect like Tatar in there I would. I know Mursak didn't prove anything, I am getting rid of him and Emmerton both anyhow, so it doesn't matter where they go, just draft picks in return would be fine for them...it would just be so exciting to see Holland actually make a splash like that though! He has plenty of time before the season starts, but we are all so excited for the changes/upgrades to happen...

Bottom line...90's Wings weren't put over the top until they TRADED for Brendan Shanahan. 00's Wings weren't put over the top until they TRADED for Domink Hasek. Drafting and UFA gets you pretty far, but sometimes you have to make that impact trade...Bobby Ryan would be an acquisition that would be on par with Shanny and Dom... Let's make the 10's Wings over the top with a ball busting TRADE & some nice UFA's pick up's...

Anaheim likes Filppula, he would come in, be #2 center with Selanne on his wing. Filppula, Quincey, Mursak, 2nd for Ryan, Schultz. Columbus, nah, I just used Nash as another example...

Pitt is getting better....these guys they are picking are one or two years away from the NHL...the trade earlier has Sutter ready for the NHL...that is another reason some folks are getting a bit antsy with Holland, perhaps our biggest Eastern Conf. rival is getting younger and better and Holland is...well and so far, same old Holland. Kenny....It's party time! Lets do it! Make a stand....slap Shero in the face! I am sure your phone rang a few times tonight...Make like Luke and Let Go! The past is gone...Lidstrom is gone...time to move on...Feel The Force...Grow a set...

I am not seeing people saying the Wings will be a lottery team...and even if Holland does nothing today, does't mean he won't tomorrow or September 30th... Tonight would just be a great stage to stamp his foot on and show the rest of the teams, they're back! He may not trade for Ryan, but everyone agree's HE MUST MAKE AN IMPACT THIS OFF SEASON or the Wings will have a serious problem this season...But it's early, really only the official start to the off season, July 1st is coming quick, but thus far, it's been the same old Holland. Not complaining (yet) but just saying and echoing a lot of folks here tonight. Holland had said he would be aggressive and spend up to the Cap, so what's wrong with a little bit of hope that he bangs a gong on draft day? So far, nothing...so in defense of the folks that are upset...so far, same old Holland. not that you are saying that Franzen or Filppula are a Lidstrom or Yzerman.... (just thought I'd clarify that for the others) but yes, I would trade Franzen or Filpulla for Ryan or Nash...for sure, in a minute.

I don't think SMith would have to be included....I'd say goodbye to Filppula, Mursak, Quincey, 2nd...for Ryan and Schultz... be sad to see Filppula go, but this is Bobby Ryan...

Holland had said that he is open to trades at the draft if the right deal presents itself... I just hope that he is not hanging on to Franzen refusing to trade him...Sure, I am not panicking, but would love to get orgasmic tonight with a mega-trade!

Although, I won't be hugely upset if Holland does nothing tonight, but this is a Grande Stage to show the NHL, "We mean business, we are not lying down!" Come on Kenny, use the stage as your's. Show Shero that you can one up him! Get Ryan...that way if for some reason you don't get Parise, you can be just as proud to get Semin and have BOTH Ryan and Semin in your top 6! And who knows, you just may get Parise... Let do it Kenny! Jared Stoll re-signs will LA....along with Colin Fraser...

It ain't over yet....Bobby Ryan is still available. Just remember though, 90% of LGW said Quincey was worth the 1st rounder...this is why I say let him walk, get the picks in return and have TWO 1st rounders next year and TWO 3rd rounders....Hell even if the average salary goes up and all he gets is a 2nd, that is TWO 2nd rounders... Please, Kenny....You can still trade for Parise's rights or Bobby Ryan and Justin Schultz.... Franzen isn't worth it to keep him. Make the splash, make the deal....for the love of Pete!

Ya and he also said that Craig Button was very instrumental in building the Championship TeamS in Dallas....I'm sorry, did I miss something? Dallas won more than one? Pierre needs to be in the NBA...

come on Kenny, give us something to party about!

Hell, if noone wants Franzen's contract, trade Flip for Ryan.... You guys are right, Holland needs to step up and show the NHL, the Red Wings will NOT be pushed aside....RELOAD KENNY RELOAD! Make the Ryan trade, get Suter and if you settle for Semin, so be it!

s***, I think Pitt got the better deal in that trade. I like Staal, but wow! I forgot that Pitt drafted Morrow last season.... ...Hey Holland, if Shero can trade Staal, you can trade Franzen...come on....Bobby Ryan is out there and wants out of Anaheim...

Yep! FTR, I think a 2nd was too much for Visnovsky...of course so was a 1st for Quincey....

Toronto fans wanted Forsberg...

Let's go Hol-land! Clap Clap CLAPCLAPCLAP.... Trade for Parise's rights! Trade for Ryan! Rah Rah RAh!

Mike Ribeiro to the Caps

Anaheim trades Vishnovsky? Hmmmm, strange. One of there better defenders...

Ok, no surprise there....Congrats to Nail! Let's go trades!

Please oh Please say "We have a trade to annouce!" Detroit trades...

Yes, I agree, I am definitely trading Franzen first, but if it takes a package a Flip to get Ryan...I am in, sorry. I just cannot pass on Bobby Ryan...The Ducks like Flip too, so that would be an attractive piece to dangle in front of them...

Well, Abby and Quincey are the RFA's left unsigned...Abby I am sure will sign, Quincey I could give two farts for so that doesn't matter...BUT like I said I see a growing list of possible trade bait and with the likes of Ryan, Staal, Nash, Iginila available, I am sure he will be listening and inquiring! I would hope that he will consider all inquiries and do what is best for the TEAM.... If he had to trade one of Franzen or Filppula to acquire Ryan or Staal, I'd be ok with it...I am not sure about those guys for a "rights" trade, but stranger things have happened....Hudler's Rights for Schultz's Rights...Do it! Throw Franzen, Mursak, 2nd in and send us Ryan as well! to ANA : Franzen. Hudler, Mursak, 2nd to DET : Ryan, Schultz

Too bad on them! Of course they could always have an interest in our multiple Stanley Cups....maybe they would feel like they (the Predators) actually help win it for us! At least that is what they would say.... "If it wasn't for our Predators you signed, you wouldn't have won the Cup!"
