rwfan007 18 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 I really hope not Nashville!!!! We would definitely be looking at the 4th seed in the playoffs then, which would mean that we would be looking at playing San Jose, or possibly Dallas if they pick it up in the home stretch. why not dallas? wings have owned turco and we are 3-0 against them this season... take that as you will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crymson Report post Posted February 16, 2007 Hey, you all know I was completely against dealing someone like Kindl for anybody. So if what you're saying was the type of package we would have had to give up to get Foppa, I say "Enjoy him while you have him Nashville!" This is not Forsberg in his prime. Of course he still is a great player, but not worth that type of a package in my opinion, especially if you could potentially lose him as an UFA after the season. Forsberg is not the 1+ PPG in the playoffs Forsberg he was 5 years ago. In fact, he hasn't really done jack in the playoffs since then--as such, how does he carry the classification of "monstrous" in the playoffs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 Our mission is clear: Billy Guerin - that would be pretty OK. For the no doubt endless amount of people that ought to be pouring in screeching "KENNAY DEW SOMETHING PLZ" it's important to note that there are still twelve days to the trade deadline; we may have to wait to find out who the Wings acquire. exactly There are still other options - good options - available and Forsberg wasnt exactly what we needed. And for those of you who are so concerned about Holland making a trade, understand that Illitch and the entire Red Wings organization will do everything they can to at the very least LOOK like they are doing everything they can to win the Stanley Cup. The only year we really didnt make a big name trade in recent years was last year, and only because 1) cap space was minimal and 2) There were next to options available in terms of a physical defenseman that didnt cost at least 3 times his worth. Not to mention, Detroit was far and above the best team in the league in the standings. This year that is not the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has been at or above PPG in every playoff run in his career, except twice, when he missed the mark by a single point. The guys a beast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uhm. he sorta dominated (singlehandedly) vs the Sabres last season. But that don't matter. Forsberg is another team's headache now. Our team must get another player and prepare for their journey.

Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Heres the thing, and I think this will hurt Nashville and Its pressure!! They have never been down this road of being #1 and accuring a beat up Forsberg does not give them the cup, now the trade is huge for them but now all of the pressure to win the whole thing is on them there is no excuse because I know that Forsberg will resign with Philly in the offseason and I think that is why Holland didn't make a deal. Keep in mind Nashville is trying to sell tickets so they will throw all of the chips in on Forsberg, its a huge trade and a huge risk!!! Spot on. Probably the fact that Foppa wouldn't say he would sign for longer may have put Kenny off. If the 2 picks and players tauted to be involved in the trade are correct, then I say that the price was too high for a guy who may only be playing for you another 4 months. I for one would say that Kenny got this one right, if he did indeed bail out. As a side note, Forsberg goes to a team that hasn't got a single Swedish player on the roster!

In fact, he hasn't really done jack in the playoffs since then--as such, how does he carry the classification of "monstrous" in the playoffs? 27 points in 2002 is pretty monstrous. 8 points in 6 games in '06 11 points in 11 games in '04 8 points in 7 games in' 03 27 points in 20 games in '02 14 points in 11 games in '01 15 points in 16 games in '00 24 points in 19 games in '99 11 points in 7 games in '98 17 points in 14 games in '97 21 points in 22 games in '96. he's scored at least a point per game every single year he's been in the playoffs (except 00, and in 96 when he only had 21 points in 22 games). what would you consider monstrous?

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 We need to subtract Lang,add Guerin and Roberts. Subtracting Lang is only a good move if we can replace him with a center who comes to play in the playoffs like Lang does. Keeping Lang is fine.

Keeping Lang is fine. Hes picked up of late and he always does even more so in the playoffs given the right line mates. Couldn't agree more. Langer has been great in the last two playoffs for us and I'd like to see him stick around so he can do it again. I think we just need to find him the right winger and he could go on a hot streak. Guerin would be ideal and he'd compliment lang well. We all know we need more than just the hank/pavel/homer line to win in the playoffs! As for nashville, them getting forsberg just ups the intensity, which i like. A gutsy move should show Holland what we're dealing with. At the same time, I'd love to just say to kenny make a trade for the hell of it. But right now, there's a long way to go, and he's gotta get the right deal. I have faith.
