J-Swift 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 If Datsyuk is going, which is what is probably going to happen, I see no way Detroit will give up Zetterberg. Steen is just another Leafs prospect that will take years to crack the lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trainwatcher 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 I asked for more on this rumor and got this as one reply..not from Eklund tho.. "From what I've heard its heating up a little bit more. Apperantly Detroit wants Steen in the deal. I can't see it going through, especially since Zetterberg scored 1 more goal than Stajan, but got about double the ice time. Toronto wants to keep Steen around so Sundin can have another Sweede on his wing, they don't expect him to be ready this year though. So they want to acquire Zetterberg. I've heard Belak, and Antropov for Zetterberg as the Leafs offer, but Detroit wants Steen. " Steen is said to be like Hank, but more physical.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-Swift 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 If this trade happened, I would lose all faith in Ken Holland. Zetterberg is the one I want to hold onto, I think he can turn into a solid, two-way centre in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProfessorLidstrom5 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 If Toronto gives us Antropov, Marchment, and Steen then give them Zetterberg. Who knows, maybe Steen will be the player Zetterberg is and we get a tough defenseman and a good sized forward... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-Swift 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 Why would we trade for Marchment when we can sign him for nothing? That's right. The Leafs do not own the rights to Bryan Marchment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted August 24, 2005 This all leads to one question.. Who the f**k is Steen? I don't want ANYONE from Toronto to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J-Swift 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2005 This all leads to one question.. Who the f**k is Steen? I don't want ANYONE from Toronto to be honest. He's just another highly-touted Leafs prospect that isn't likely to live up to expectations. The Toronto Maple Leafs are not good at drafting or developing players, and I do not want to trade one of Detroit's best young players in Zetterberg for a Leaf prospect who'll likely take an extended period of time in the AHL to develop. Apparently, Alexander Steen is coming out of Sweden, and has both offensive and two-way potential, which is something we already know we have in Zetterberg. If Steen is the centre-piece in this deal for the Wings, I'll pass thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRW Dominance 255 Report post Posted August 24, 2005 A couple of things. I live very close to Toronto and hate the Leafs so this is the last team that I would want to get Zetterberg if he was traded. #2, Antropov is a giant piece of useless s**t but I know that the Wings really liked him around the draft time. It would be a horrible trade to get rid of Zetterberg and get obvious trash in return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never expected much out of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanBarnes! 293 Report post Posted August 24, 2005 Steen hasn't really showed anything lately to warrant a trade for Zetterberg. Not even in a package deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
