Heaton

The ball got fumbled out of bounds with 5 seconds left, so, it was infact the right call. (I'm not a fan of either team btw) or what timothy1997 said. greedy play as in USC going for the win?

Man, that flew right over your head didn't it? At least Barnes got it, nice try Seth. Notice the " " in response to what I said? I was giving Barnes a compliment, in a round about way. Seriously dude, you need to stop looking for things to "get" me with.

You're really gonna have to start not making as much sense as you are Barnes, I sortof liked being in my shell.

His best moments were in SJ, especially while representing them in the All Star Game and calling his shot

Haha no kidding

Yup, he'll go to a Tampa Bay type team and be fine, Detroit just isnt the right system for him, Detroit needs a Drew Bledsoe type guy.

I just figured he was your favorite player because, well, you have his name and number as your username. haha, i didnt expect you to get so upset, i honestly thought that you think that Ryan Barnes is the perfect hockey player that every team needs. I mean, my username is Heaton because I used to think Heaton goalie pads were the coolest things ever and have used the name for like 10 years now. and btw, since you obviously need facts and have no idea about the words you're choosing to use, I'm not a "troll" I'm not posting just to get a rise out of you or trying to derail the thread.

haha, what? do you think that im against getting guys "supposedly" like your idol Ryan Barnes on either the Griffins or the Red Wings? I'm all for it, and they don't have to score even 10 goals, or even 5. I just don't think the issue is as pressing as everyone makes it out to be.

You know it is possible, that it's not because of this so called notion that they don't like tough guys, but possibly that Barnes isn't a good player, has little ability and can't even make a minor league team?

thats bulls**t, I've never seen a reciver of ours consistently getting seperation, even when Harrington takes his time.

Our offense coordinator plus Joey Harrington's lack of confidence plus our wide recieves INABILITY to get open equals what the Detroit Lions are. I think I'd be more pissed if Joey was leaving Roy, or Mike, or Charles wide open, but the problem is, they hardly EVER have seperation.

Datsyuk for sure, Fedorov would've demanded the max soon enough.

I'd do it in a hearbeat, Smyth would be perfect for this team.

I dunno, Smyth right now sortof looks like what Zetterberg is going to be once he get a little older. Except, Zetterberg will be better offensive and a slight better defender, I doubt Zetterberg will be as good of a leader though. If this ever happened I'd expect a 2nd and a 3rd along with it to just be fair.

As long as we lock up Datsyuk, I'd do that for sure.

rofl

Both Ryno and Lofberg are going to be 6'3'' 205+ by the time they get into the NHL, he addressed our problems just not in the first round. Kindl will be an awesome addition once he gets to the Wings. I've seen people compare Kindl to Gonchar. Scouting reports and projections are almost always USELESS in drafts, every decent player can score 100+ points in juniors. You never know what you have until you see them in an NHL jersey. edit: B+

I wouldn't do it either way, would rather keep Datsyuk. Isn't Redden scheduled to make 3.75m anyway? Just pay Datsyuk that if you're willing to take on that type of contract.

We'd have to add at least a 1st round pick with that to get Spezza I'd think.

People getting their panties in a bunch all because of a rumor? NO! that could never happen! Hey Barnes, I heard we traded Chelios for a feather pillow and Babcock is going to institute a no hitting rule for the team. We're gonna have a play nice policy.

We're believing Eklund now? He also says in his blog that Detroit is interested in Cujo. Are we going to have a 3 goalie cycle now?!?!?!

Perhaps not. They'd have to dump some player, but it's possible.

Haha, so much for Hamrlik going "cheap"
