Andy Pred 48

I'm looking at the USA roster for the world's and maybe Blashill could be having a chat with some in a view to come to Detroit. Dan Brickley D big offensive puck moving player from the NCAA. Not attached to any NHL team Andy Copp ufa currently with the Jets, local guy hailing from Ann Arbor could be a useful bottom 6 guy to replace Miller. At the same time he could try and soften up Trouba

Sleeper pick, Denis Smirnov.

Kenny needs to do a deal with Metallurg Magnitogorsk and trade to get Jan Kovar in as a top centre we need desperately.

Vegas could suit Kane

JUUSO VÄLIMÄKI or MIRO HEISKANEN

well i can tick Tryamkin off my list, gone back to the KHL. Canucks offered a 2 year extension but he declines for family issues.

playing a major role for the Russian U18 at the worlds , hes only just turned 17 to. unless the Wings bottom out next year I doubt we get a chance to draft him.

Ok for a bit of fun and also a insight into what us fans would like to see on the ice personally. With the Wings and Griffins current rosters, pick your roster from them to go into next season. 8 D 14 Fwds and 2 NM. Also your head coach and 3 assistant coaches from within our organization as well. to get the ball rolling ill list mine. Head Coach , Todd Nelson, Asst Coaches John Torchetti , Mike Knuble , Doug Houda. NM Mrazek Howard D DeKeyser, Green, Kronwall, Jensen, Russo, Ericsson, Renouf and MciLrath Fwds Tatar Zetterberg Athanasiou Mantha Larkin Svechnikov Nyquist Nielson Helm Abdelkader Nosek Bertuzzi Frk Glendening please keep the players within our org and try not to go off on other fans choices.

I'm looking forward to seeing what 6 start on the D as the Griffins are loaded on the blue line, has Hronek impressed enough to stay in it.

It would strange if they didn't try to re-sign MciLrath as that would make the Vanek trade just a 3rd round pick. I'm looking at this years FAs in general and there is a possibility to have a new Russian 5 for our new era at Little Cesar s . I know that Kenny would have to move some major pieces to do it but how about this as a line. Radulov. Kuznetsov. Grigorenko. Tryamkin. Orlov.

With the Griffins having secured home ice advantage I'm thinking that our top pick gets to ice in the last 2 regular season games. Also the kid McCarron could get a look on the blue line.

I've read it in a report on KK . General manager Ken Holland has told veteran forward Drew Miller he will not be offered a new contract by the Wings. Helene st james reported it

Miller is done, Kenny gave him the news in his end of season interview.

Finished 5-1 Svech with 1+3 finishes his rookie season with 20+31! Hronek and McCarron with a assist and +1 Cholowski with +1. Griffs played with 7 D so not sure about ice time. I'm really pumped with the Hronek kid, got a good set of wheels looks poised on the puck and has a cannon from the point. Looks like we may have a diamond in the rough. Svechnikov should be on the opening roster in my opinion.

Ladies and gentlemen , the idea of this thread was to not have trades and ufa guys signed, it's in essence to make your best roster with what we have now in the organisation. I'm sure well have plenty of threads in due course discussing potential Signings and trades. Could we keep to our original theory as I was going to compile a roster when I had enough suggestions as to what our roster could look like with all our combined lists evened out, after all its just a bit of fun. Cheers Andy.

Could be the # he's wearing ! .

With Kenny having 11 picks this draft, I wonder if he'll use any to try and get another 1st round pick? Wings will draft Liljegren with their pick and I'm hoping we can get another 1st and take Popugayev. Could Kenny even get more cunning and trade some picks for the help we badly need?

Holland should have kept his word when Nick retired!

is this the start of the 17-18 trade thread ideas?

Vegas will need some vet leadership on their roster and a solid vet netminder, would they contemplate taking Jimmy? not sure on that as i feel there will be a better netminder available Abbey is a Redwing lifer, he aint going anywhere soon. So when is Vegas picking their roster?

In defence of our goaltending, they have been left out to dry more times this year than they have in the previous 3 years combined. The amount of odd man rushes they've faced has been obscene this season, no they haven't been as good as they can be but the situations they've been put in is down to our below average D this year.

What happened to Blashill ?

Blash will be back next season, but hopefully he'll have a deeper roster to work with thereby if we are struggling again by Xmas a change will be made. Wholesale changes could hurt the organisation more than help it but some will need to be made but which who knows?

Anyone else notice that Hronek has got one shell of a one timer from the blue line, signs look good
