theman19 47 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 Historically we've always been very active at the deadline (some good some very very bad) i personally think we won't be as busy but i do think kenny is going to trade somebody (my money is on lilja who's been nothing short of awful) Who do you think kenny will trade (if he does) and for who? -discuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henkka 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2005 That Salei-scenario sounded nice. Him and Kronwall would be nice additions at the spring. But we will miss Jiri... I hope the guys will play this season for him. Everyone remebers 1998, even Andres Eriksson was brilliant then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seth 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Witt would be a soild addition, if we end up dealing with the Ducks I'd like to see something like this go down. Wings Get: Shane Hynes RW Joel Stepp LW Dustin Penner LW Ruslan Salei D Ducks Get: 3rd 2006 Rounder Tomas Kopecky C Michael Hackert LW Miroslav Blatak D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings Get: Shane Hynes RW Joel Stepp LW Dustin Penner LW Ruslan Salei D Ducks Get: 3rd 2006 Rounder Tomas Kopecky C Michael Hackert LW Miroslav Blatak D If we didn't take anyone out of the lineup, I believe that trade would put us over the cap, although it is interesting. I'm sure Kopecky might have some trade value after being impressive so far this season in the AHL, and I, unlike Kenny, have given up on him, so I have no problem with moving Tomas at all. Hackert, however, is struggling and Brian Burke certainly knows this. Blatak doesn't provide the physical presence this team may need in the future, and I think Kindl should be able to take over the role as offensive d-man in a couple of years, so I feel Miroslav is expendable. But it should be taken into consideration how weak this team is when it comes to defensive prospects before Blatak were to be shipped out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-Swift 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2005 what on gods green earth are you talking about? Topocky power forward? You are off your rocker. Well, there's no doubt Kopecky is a bit of a garbage prospect, who, IMO, should've been dumped a while ago. But if you look up and down our prospect pool, you will see that there are very few players that are any closer to even ressembling a power forward. Yeah, it's sad, I know. Of course, there was that one guy we could've had in the second round this year. A guy who was ranked top ten in many draft previews, that absolutely lit it up in training camp, and has vastly improved the skating skills that caused his stock to drop in the draft. But I'm sure guys like Hudler will be able to fill the void left by Shanny in a couple of years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seth 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2005 Well said, Seth. I though so. The fact that people here think Tomas Kopecky is a power forward is just crazy. Only and I repeat only in the Red Wings organization are players like Kopecky labeled as such. Any other organization would simply tag him again as a garabage underachiveing (sp) prospect. THe only players close to actually being a Power Forward for this organization in the NHL are Grigs and possibly and I mean possibly Filppula. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
