no to both. Detroit will attempt to sign Holtby. I'd go with Pickard and Larsson before I even think about extending Bernier or Howard. I'd go with the two NOW if I could trade Howard and Bernier tonight.

that was me. I just want him gone now, never to wear the jersey again. I'll take future considerations for him....or nothing at all. Never liked him, he's always been average or below. Thats just my opinion, but its mostly true. as long as its not Detroit.

Well I REALLY hope we dump about 3-5 players this deadline. Not that we need the cap space this year for anything, I am just tired of seeing certain players wear this jersey. Not that we'd get anything great in return for them, but I just don't want to watch them on this team anymore. I hope the Howard and Green "rumors" come to fruition. IF they could be dealt, I wouldn't mind seeing Helm, Filppula and Nielsen gone as well. Ericsson and Daley can just fade away, I hope they never put the jersey on again. I'd like to see if there is any interest in Ehn also. Of course all of this will not happen, and I don't want to gut GR because we'd have to bring players up, but if we could thin our team out up here sooner than the off season, it would be awesome. I am wondering what Yzerman's plan is with Cholowski, rumors of him having a poor attitude does not help his case in getting back to Detroit. Maybe a trade to Western Canada would help his attitude and he could at least get back to the NHL. He could be packaged or just sent alone for a 2nd maybe?

please trade Howard

#91 needs to be retired Fedorov easily top 5 best Detroit Red Wing of all time. No 90's Cup without him, IMO.

So.....as always, take this with a grain of salt, but I just got finished talking to my friend (the one who told me Yzerman was pretty much already running the team before he was hired) and he told me his source on the team (training staff) that Blashill will be gone VERY SOON, if not within DAYS and Dan Bylsma is going to be the new HC. He did say the his source didn't know if it was going to be on an interim basis, or permanently. HE also said that Yzerman is a supporter of Bylsma, so that could factor in. Again, it's my friend who is very close with a trainer for the team. Take it as you may.

*moved to Rumors thread

Current Russian Asst. Coaches will be ours by June. Igor as HC of course.

he already has one

if we're lucky enough to draft Alexis, Valeno will do fine as his center. if we get the #2 we win, win.

I'm an AA slappy, but if it would make our team better, I'm good with deals. we sure do need a real goaltender.

would that be a good deal for us? Would those two help us along the rebuild, or are they just more prospects?

I was just looking at the fact that he is suspended without pay. Wonder what is going on... anyhow, lets say you're trading AA and are interested in Andersson, what else would we have to add? AA plus what? to NYR for Andersson

https://www.tsn.ca/winnipeg-jets-claim-g-eric-comrie-back-off-waivers-1.1415759 Jets claimed him. I hate Jimmy Howard.

I cannot believe they waived Comrie and Not one of the s***ty guys. Howard should stay right in GR.

I do believe he is coaching The World Junior team this tourney.

I'd be good with just Dumping Helm. I sure would like to see Igor as our coach though. One of the smartest minds in hockey. I also wouldn't mind seeing Nielsen bought out, but we know that won't happen. playoffs, ya pipedream, but one must dream.

Hossa vs. Franzen

you seem to know a lot of facts about him. Professional NHL scouts see him quite differently, maybe you should make a phone call and bring them up to speed.

AA is not being traded. why do you think that he would be on the block if he was playing like last year? the guy is one of our best scorers. if he was playing like last season he'd be leading our team, why in earth would he be on the block?

AA is not being traded. He's a 30 goal scorer having a bad season mostly because of who Blashill plays him with. You don't just trade away one of your best scorers because of 1 season. and I agree, none of our UFA's will garner any interest. If we could dump Nielsen and Helm, that would be a great TDL.

Fabbri or Zadina....seems like this is Mantha or AA.

just wait until we have a real coach. Those two guys will no longer suck. what's AA supposed to.do with Helm as linemate? In June, Get Igor in here as HC, get Datsyuk to come back for a season, he'll center AA & Perlini and turn them around. Dump Helm and Nielsen for a pick at the TDL. Draft in the top 2, 20-21 we make the playoffs.

I'd keep Fabbri, only because if I'm trading one, Zadina will bring back more in return.

Larionov should be our next coach, and Datsyuk should come back to put butts in the seats. Nielsen should be gone. I love AA, but if Wings get a top 2 pick, he is in danger of being dealt, if it involves a D-man especially. The way it's been this year, I don't see anyone wanting Green or Daley at the TDL.
