I think the fact that you're comparing scoring between Ericsson and Quincey just shows the ridiculousness of this argument. It should be obvious at this point that neither player is relied on for the offensive production so I'm not sure why we're using that as a measuring point for their value to the team.

How many points do people expect a guy like Quincey or even Smith to get when they don't even get a sniff of PP time. I know the popular thing to do is hate on Quincey but let's get real here... Per Game Average Powerplay Time: Quincey: 22 seconds Smith: 8 seconds Kindl: 2 min 17 seconds I think it's obvious who the real underperformer is.

What makes him a "non-hockey guy"? Because he doesn't work on Sportsnet? Would you prefer Nick Kypreos? Stroumbo is obsessed with hockey. Especially Canadian hockey which is why he's perfect for the job. I could care less about his fashion choices.

The game will be postponed. He is currently conscious at the hospital.

He was conscious on his way to the hospital for people wondering. He was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat this season at training camp.

Whats wrong with Stroumbo?? I think he's one of the best tv personalities out there. Breath of fresh air for a change.

Maybe it's just me but I would assume that means up to Detroit's "system" where he will start his contract and professional career. Aka. Grand Rapids. Could very well be wrong though. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see him as a black ace though...

Haven't said much in this thread but I will say this... We are fickle fans. We demand Holland make more trades for impact players but then crucify him if we have to give up anything of value. The trade was never going to be Eaves a 3rd and Ferraro/marginal prospect. Nobody wants that. There's next to no value in that trade. We can all debate future and potential but none of that is certain so it's all conjecture for now. Legwand would be a core piece and top 6 guy on any team in this league. He is that good whether people want to admit that or not. No he's not a flashy/sexy player like Vanek, but he also isn't a known, pure rental and probably(hopefully) has a future here I also have faith they wouldn't have made this deal if they weren't confident he will re-sign here. No that does not equate to him being a shoe-in to come here in the off-season regardless of the trade or not. It means a lot to a player when a team pursues and "wants" you and is willing to give up assets to get you. It sends a message. Anyone can throw money come UFA time. Combine that with our culture, great group of very well-liked and respected leadership group, young future players and the fact that his he's from Michigan and you've got a great appeal and likeliness to re-sign. Starting next season (possibly this post-season if we can get healthy) we are going to have a very talented and deep group of forwards and I personally cannot wait to see what they are capable of.

Continues at length and whether you agree or not it's a good read.

One of the best scripts I've ever seen in a television show. The attention to detail in both acting and directing is just phenomenal.

Sooo Helms out at least another week according to KHAN!!

Oh look the same one you've posted in every single thread. We get it....You don't approve of his decisions... No need to take it upon your self to convert all the non-believers.

I think that just more goes to show you how much some of you guys actually follow (or don't follow) the development of our prospects and just read headlines and stats. He's been listed at that all year on RWC, Griffins homepage and the Wings site.

Haha there can't be a better way to express my feelings then that. Made my day. lol

Great Post. Nice to actually see a well thought out argument hitting on many key points while also addressing each side.

I like your positivity but there's a 42 page thread on this. The soapbox isn't necessary.

I had a hard time getting my attention off that horrible beard he has growing on his face...

It's intent. At the time they circumvented the cap and fully knew they were doing so.
