ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 Theres a good chance we might be picking him up by the trade deadline, now that Doan has re-signed with the Coyotes. (Coyote scouts have attended the last few games).I personally think he would add some toughness to the team, and is a reliable forward. Though I still would rather get Foresberg.......then maybe Guerin......and if we couldn't pick those two up, then I think Nolan would be a good choice.

FinWing 26 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 I'd love to see Foppa here as well but the most glaring need of our team is a solid winger. Guerin rather than Nolan but both would be improvements. At least both of them have been healthy all season. Nolan would probably be a bit cheaper option though(?) But if we can get Foppa AND a winger even better!

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 Id be pissed if the Wings picked up Nolan without exhasuting all possibilities with Guerin and Tkachuk. Id prefer both those guys to Nolan simply because they are more fragile, but if Guerin and Tkachuk are unreachable, Nolan would be a great alternative. I know hindsight is 20/20, but the Wings wouldnt be scrambling around right now if theyd offered to Nolan what they offered to Willy...or a lousy 400k more for Guerin. Its kind of funny given the way this board was calling for the Wings to let go of Willy and go after Guerin and Nolan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henkka 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 Of course they are asking the price of Tkachuk and Guerin. But I think their prices are too much. Holland doesn't want to lose much youth. So cheaper, but potential guy like Nolan would be very reasonable try. Williams + 4th <> Nolan + Laraque. I'm all for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was the first game this season that Nolan has missed and his status at this time is unknown. - Arizona Republic" Hopefully this is nothing big. He would be a very good, inexpensive alternative...or even addition to whoever we may pick up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElCapitan 14 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 Maybe he's not really hurt, maybe they don't want him to be before the trade goes thorugh? The thought came across my mind. I was one who wanted to take a chance on him at the beginning of the season. I can't remember what he signed for but I think it was a bit high for the risk.

Nolan was washed up 3 years ago when he played with the leafs.Trading for him is just for the sake of trading.Too slow and no longer tough,he's definitely in his golden years. Anything more than a 6th or 7th pick for him would be a waste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if he's "the move," then I've pretty much had it with Holland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand he's no Foresberg, but he's still a pretty reliable winger and I think he would do a LOT better in Williams' place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure either the St. Louis duo would be better but last time i checked the wings r third in point standings. We need toughness first for the playoffs. While Foppa's offense would help us I think that to be a competetive playoff team such big trades arent really nessasary. Basically what im saying is Jamal Mayers or Nolan arent as good as Guerien but would sure help a lot.

Cory Cross didn't play in the playoffs because the coaches would be afraid he'd have a hard time playing in front of an Edmonton crowd that ripped him a new one every time he stepped on the ice when he still played for them. So the saying goes anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henkka 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 Guerin+Mayers or Nolan+Laraque would be nice packages. Let Hudler and Williams go. Then trade Lang away in a three-way-deal and get Forsberg. Just imagine: Forsberg - Zetterberg - Samuelsson Holmström - Datsyuk - Guerin/Nolan Maltby - Draper - Laraque/Mayers Franzen - Filppula - Cleary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 Nolan isn't the guy you want......Neck Injury, he sucked with the leafs in the playoffs, Leave it alone Kenny. He barely played for the Leafs in the playoffs. He was hurt for both playoff years he was with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has there been any sources between the two media outlets or any major sports/NHL outlets supporting this? While I'd be all for having Nolan in 2nd/3rd line role, this is the first time I've read that there is a good chance of him coming here, and no disrespect to you or anything, I'd like to see some more credible sports sources.
