    SFE: Wings looking at 'star player' by deadline

    Great. In this case I'd say that the existance of such will actually increase Detroit's chances of acquiring Roberts.

    Does Roberts have a NTC? If he does, perhaps Yzerman can convince him to waive it for Detroit. I know Roberts and Yzerman are old buddies.

    Philly

    Avery is hardly suited to protect anyone.

    SFE: Wings looking at 'star player' by deadline

    The label "star player" would imply someone capable of high offensive production (someone like Nagy perhaps). Lapointe is no such player, but him coming to Detroit still makes sense from a Kenny Holland strategy perspective and I'd even welcome such a move if the price is right. I would also be willing to try O'Neill or perhaps Fedotenko for the right price.

    A physical presence and a willingness to stand in front of the net in order to score ugly goals.

    Philly

    I read a piece on Fedoruk recently and he didn't appear to be worried at all. "Bones heal just as strong if not stronger" he said.

    Doan or Nagy

    For sure. They'll do anything they can to keep him, but in the end it's up to Doan.

    UFA Targets

    Most defensemen in his category make around $3 M.

    UFA Targets

    I think Smyth is right up Kenny's alley.

    DARREN HELM

    Attended the exhibition game Swe-Can today and got to see Helm play. Sweden won 3-2 after trailing 0-2. Helm didn't play a lot (as expected) but logged time on every PK. Downey tried to spear someone after the game.

    http://www.swehockey.se/files/{CA2DAA65-2F...AD56BC36B2}.pdf This is the official roster. No Ritola.

    DARREN HELM

    Apparently Ritola was cut from the Swedish team.

    Mursak plays in the B-tournament in Denmark. I read that Ritola made it.

    Pugilist Corner

    1) I like Hordichuk. He's not big, but a very aggressive enforcer. He's always willing to stand up for his teammates. 2) Perhaps Boulton. He's a bit dirty.

    Nagy a Wing ?

    Fedorov is part of the past. There is absolutely no reason to bring him back.

    Justin Abdelkader

    ^Excellent news! I'll be there to "scout" him.

    Cory Emmerton

    I have no idea, but I'm hoping his checking abilities will earn him a role on a defensive unit at least.
  18. Grigorenko does not seem all that interested to join the Red Wings. May and Stamler are the only ones that I have any real interest in. Ryno might prove to be worth it down the line.

    Cory Emmerton

    ^Ugh! I was hoping to get a look at Emmerton. Anyone wanna take a guess at Helm's chances of making it?
  20. RyanBarnes!

    Pugilist Corner

    ^Precisely. There's a video of it in the AO suspension thread.

    NHL notebook: Devils, Wings have draft science down

    Or Blunden even.

    Detroit interested in Marleau

    How about Carle now? Unfortunately it has become painfully clear how such a deal proposed earlier would benefit only the Red Wings.

    FORSBERG TO BE TRADED (WITHIN THE NEXT 24HRS)

    The Flyers should be asking for a defenseman rather than a goalie.

    Pugilist Corner

    Perhaps the Boogaard-Laraque scrap was a bit of a disappointment, but stil it was a pretty impressive effort by Laraque the way he handled himself and Boogaard. Laraque looked down right small compared to Boogaard, but he managed to keep his balance and lock Boogaard up. Had he fallen down in the beginning Boogaard would have made him pay bigtime. Janssens is one feisty player. He hits and he scraps. I like that.

    Detroit looking to move Lilja?

    Good point.
