Hossa would command more than Jokinen...and Florida said theyre only gonna trade Jokinen if they get an offer they cant refuse. Then again...maybe Montreal has offers on the table for BOTH Jokinen and Hossa?? and is just waiting to see which one pans out?? Wishful thinking..

Thats just the thing...nobody has overpaid. San Jose just got Campbell for a 1st and Bernier... Thatd be like Detroit getting Hossa for Hudler and a 1st...Salei went on the cheap, Prospal on the cheap, Huet too, etc etc. There are deals to be had this deadline.

I concur..

Lang to the Habs??? Maybe Gainey wants a Lang-Kovalev reunion!!! Really though, I think the Devils were really interested in Lang...

Good, then lets hatch a 3 way here. Foote to Colorado, Salei to Detroit, X to Columbus. Jesus ******* christ this is a s***ty ass deadline so far. Holland better pull Hossa out of his ass in the next 2 hours..

thefourthperiod is a only a step above Eklund...

Modry for a 3rd rounder..

We need to start some voodoo chanting or something. Say it with me people!!!! Brad Stuart. Marian Hossa. Brad Stuart. Marian Hossa. Brad Stuart. Marian Hossa.

The Avs got ******* Ruslan Salei. Ok, now Im ******* pissed. That guy was THE answer to our problems on the back end. Kenny has now really f***ed it up by not adding Salei or Prospal.

Not it means that Olaf is a UFA, Huet is a UFA, and and its obvious that one of the two is a much better bet to throw 3-4M at...

Yup...as are Hank and Datsyuk..

Well, the Bertuzzi trade came at the last call... What I dont understand is this: 1. Over 5 million bucks in cap space 2. a 2-7-1 record over the last 10 games 3. SIX key injuries HOW MUCH MOTIVATION TO MAKE A TRADE DO YOU NEED KENNY?!?

If they get Belak for a 5th, but make up for it by trading Salei for a higher pick and a good prospect, then yeah, it would be in their best interest..

Carolina doesnt trade with Detroit...

Really? I like that deal for the Hawks. Ladd is progressing, albeit slowly, but he isnt nearly as injury prone as Ruutu whos stock has dropped like a sack full of horses***..

Hey, has anything been made of the Wade Belak to Florida trade? Could it be that they added him cause theres a trade for Salei in place???

How bout we make this the official "Pierre McGuire is RIGHT" Thread I dont know how he could make that comment about Howard...although I sure as hell wouldnt mind Miller here...but lets take a look at the facts. Dallas needed scoring - BRAD RICHARDS Anaheim needed scoring - TEEMU SELANNE San Jose needed a #1 PP QB - BRIAN CAMPBELL Not only did ALL of your biggest competitors bulk up, but they did it in a BIG WAY. The only way the Wings could keep pace with these folks is MARIAN HOSSA And seeing as how thats pretty much not going to happen, then yes. McGuire is right. The Wings are in trouble.

Modry for a third...Id say a prospect and a 2nd.

I dont know. The Habs have a lot of scoring if they add Hossa, and theyve really got it all in other respects too. Great goaltending thats as deep as it gets and their top 2 Dmen in Markov and Hamrlik...followed by Komisarek...is a great start to any defense. Plus...the East is a cakewalk. I dont think theyll end up in the finals, but theyll make some noise without a doubt..

Yeah but Modano and Morrow were both coming off of significant injuries. And Ribeiro has come into his own, as has Turco (believe it or not). Not to mention theyve got some good rough and tumble guys who can score upwards of 15 goals a season that are exactly the type of guys that perform well in the playoffs - Lundqvist, Eriksson, and Hagman in particular. Add Richards to the mix and the fact that theyve got a deep defense thats great at moving the puck, youve got yourself a team that I would say is much more playoff ready than our Wings.

Im right with you...I wouldnt expect to see something that nobody has really thought of. So far, Campbell hasnt gone anywhere. Rumors say San Jose, but the Campbell to Detriot rumors are starting to pick up...Im not too excited about Campbell, but jesus Id be ecstatic if we landed Stafford in that deal..

Well, the Ducks added Niedermayer and Selanne. The Wings added....McCarty. Dallas adds Richards Anaheim adds Selanne and Niedermayer Montreal adds Hossa Ottawa adds Stillman and Commodore Right...Id say Detroit is THIRD in line in terms of the Stanley Cup favorites. And thats just in the West..If Dallas adds Richards, Detroit takes a backseat to either of those two..

Yeah...you should follow the Eastern Conference a little more. Theyre easily a top 3 team in the East this year. Theyre a contender..

Alright...Im starting to think I might just have to be content with a Satan or Fedorov addtion...but I really hope not. And this Kronwall for Campbell and Stafford deal is really starting to grow on me. And if its true that Holland said he was willing to trade his first rounder, then I dont see why we couldnt go with a Kronwall and a 1st for Campbell, Stafford and a 2nd, which basically equates to Kronwall and a 1st to Stafford, a 2nd, and 2 months of Campbell. I dont think wed be able to retain Campbell..

s***. I was hoping we could land this guy if all else failed. Oh well... Guess its on to Satan...
