This Sucks.. I have been high on Grigorenko since he played for Russia in the world Juniors years back.. I really wanted to see him suit up in the red and white, but it looks more and more like that will never happen.

I doubt we will ever see Grigs in the red and white.

Looking good.. 8 points in first 2 games.. named OHL player of the week...

It's funny.. back when i mentioned getting Artyukhin at the beginning of the year everyone on this board laughed and wondered who the hell he was.. now it's the biggest name i hear on this board...

Why is it that anytime someone see's a guy who is 6'2 210 or above with a bunch of pim, and some points that we must have him here in Detroit?

I wouldnt be surprised if he was let go. He's nothing special anyway. The only player coming out of the OHL that i see having a real impact is Kindl.

Ya, How Much would Samsonov cost??

I would trade Hudler for Washingtons Stick Boy

lmao at lebda's value > or = to vyborny's

More speculation surrounding Legace for a defenseman trade. I just got word that it is a 3 way deal in the works between Detroit, Anaheim and Tampa. The key names involved are Legace and Salei... I am also hearing some European names being thrown around such as Fedotenko, Hudler, and Artyukhin. If I were to speculate I would say it would look something like this... To Tampa Manny Legace Jiri Hudler To Detroit Ruslan Salei Evgeny Artyukhin To Anaheim Ruslan Fedotenko

Grigs and Kopecky

Drafted this kid in the 5th Round, 132nd Overall at this summer’s draft. He's currently leading the first place Medicine Hat Tigers in scoring with 45 points in 40 games. The WHL site has him listed as 6ft 182lbs. He's an 87 birthday, so he has time to grow. It's a little too early to predict anything, but at least this kid is showing some promise. Could be another late round steal. Keep an eye on him.

Setoguchi is actually like 20 days older than Helm...

Helm named CHL's player of the week...

He is a good player. Why trade him?

I agree. I would love to see Bootland take Mowers spot on the team. Bootland is pretty solid night in and night out... By the way..I just missed that fight.. i walked into the arena, and Bootland was already on top of him. Everyone was silent, and then i'm come running down the stairs cheering my ass off..lol

He didnt look good at all in his first game this evening. Then again, none of the Griffins did.

You can't just pick draft picks out of your ass and expect them to be able to play at the NHL level. Even if you did, they're not free. You still have to pay a rookie.. lol. 2. You wouldnt do that deal because Legace is having a good season. lol. What about th fact that this so called "offer" involved sending out our top scorer, and future goalie. We have Osgood taking over the #1 position, and all you can say is "oh, i wouldnt do this because of Leagace."

Well if you made any sense at all, I might believe you. But since you dont, I think you’re full of s**t. Why? 1. Holland wasn’t enquiring about Loungo. Why would be take on a high priced goalie when we he already has a fully capable goalie that is taking in less than a million. 2. You don’t know who Olesz is but you like the deal?!?! Lmao at you. You would make the worlds worst GM if you didn’t know who the player was but liked the deal. So, A Future franchise goalies, leading point getter, and an excellent back up goalie for a high priced Goalie and some guy you don’t know… AHHHHHHHAHAHA So pretty much you went to hockey’s future and saw Florida’s number one prospect so you decided to stir up some s**t!! LMAO at you again. I think we should trade Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Howard for Malkin. I don’t know anything about this Malkin guy but I think I like this trade. Go back to your room and see who you can trade on your NHL 98 for Super Nintendo

The trade is'nt as lopsided as you think. Chistov isn’t in a Ducks uniform for a reason. It would be a gamble both ways, and I realize it wouldn’t happen, but I would appreciate it if you didn’t use your witty sarcasm to make it seem as though I have no idea what I’m talking about. your going to have problems with your vision one day. All you do is roll your eyes at everyone elses comments.

Lets Get This Done Kenny

Trade Hudler for Chistov

You call a guy who is a) 5'8, defensive liability, c)a poor attitude d)pointless in his 4 NHL games this year, e)a Hobbit look a like, one with upside??? lol... I know you love this guy’s hair, but come on. It’s okay sometimes to go with a non-undersized European player.

And Hudler has a significantly higher PPG and Kopecky is scoring fine and is bigger than the two big boys being brought in. Not to mention it's just piss poor resource manangement to pawn off three 2nd rounders for a 7th and an 8th. Giroux and Wiseman have next to no upside. Hudler and Kopecky do. Then there's that 2nd round pick. peace Hudler has also shown he is worthless in the NHL. I love the guys on here who think Hudler is the second coming of Christ. Yes, it's exciting that a midget out of the Czech Republic has put up some nice numbers in significanly less physical league. Ignorant fans look at statistics. Have you seen him play in Grand Rapids? If we're looking at stats, why dont we call up good old Eric Manlow and put him on the first line. Hudler is not something this team needs, get it through your head. Kopecky is good, but he does'nt make use of his size enough. He has aslo proven to be inconsistent.... What kind of logic is basing players on when they were drafted? nevermind your probably right, the Leafs wouldnt trade Antropov and Aki Berg for Dats and Z because that would entail trading two 1st round picks for a 6th and 7th. How stupid of me.

Maybe we should trade Howard for some draft picks and call you up.
