1270 Sports: Babcock says "players will be dealt"

[The Enforcer 13]

Babcock said after practice today that the players discussed in trade talks will be dealt - inside info? Maybe a new wing for the weekend?

[Majsheppard 203]

You have to give us more context then that.

Are you saying that he wants to move someone on our team, or are you saying he will definately make a move for someone.

I don't get what your trying to convey.

[rick zombo 3,739]

You mean Lang, Willimas, Hudler, Draper, Maltby, Datsyuk, Lilja, and Schneider are all going to be traded?

Because these have been the players we've discussed.

Don't forget Kindl or Ericsson.

I get the feeling that TE doesn't really know any more than what he heard from Babs.

[HenrikRules40 14]

Precisely my reaction.

Things bout to go dowwwwwn! I'm excited! I sense movement among the herds.

[hillbillywingsfan 792]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..i need more then this!!!!

[rwfan007 18]

damn... i gotta work all night and all night tomorrow... this really sucks. I am going to be absolutely flipping out all night not knowing what is going on

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

OH MY LAWD.

OKAY NOW I AM MAJORLY EXCITED.

I'll be happy as long as my LILLY WILLY IS NOT TRADED!

Eklund's reporting that he has heard stong rumblings that Tkachuk is Detroit bound. But he also adds it may be Guerin.

TSN is saying the Blues asking price remains high. A 1st rounder and a top prospect.

Man, that's alot to give up for a rental.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

With MacDonald put on waivers, I can see something going down very shortly.

[BigTex 1]

With some of the moves that are starting to happen it might be best to wait a bit. It's looking like Dallas WAY overpaid for Nagy. As teams fill their needs that will leave a few guys out there with very few teams left calling. That's how we got Ozzie at such an incredible price as a FA.

Not that I'm in disagreement, but can you explain the logic behind this?

How does MacDanald, a 3rd string goalie, going on waivers indicate that something else is going down? Unless they're trading for Biron.

As was stated in the other thread, Mac was sent down cuz now, with a total of 4 healthy goalies ( Dom, Ozzie, Howard, Mac), one has to go down.

It isn't even related.

Hell, now im doubting myself; Was Mac our third stringer all year or was he called up when Ozzie went down? Or was that Howard? If it was Howard called up, then just ignore me.

I totally agree, it's not related at all.

My grandmother does not know the difference between a hockey puck or a basketball. Yet i would trust her opinion on a trade more than I would trust anything that comes out of that Eklund site. At this point in the game Tkachuk and Guerin are the only two big names left, what the hell does he have to lose to make that prediction at this time. Chances are he will be right. But my grandmother could do that too.

As RA said.....cap space. Granted its only a small amount, but every little bit helps.

so even though mac was counting towards the cap you dont' think it has anything to do with a trade???? i dont' know man.

yay! now we can buy a bag of pucks so the 2nd line can start practicing their shooting again!

Howard was called up to back up Joey Mac, when Ozzie and Dom went down.

Mac doesn't make much, but I believe it has to be somewhere around .5 million, so having said that, the move makes sense on both levels, and it COULD be related. For one, why send Mac down now, Dom and Ozzie are healthy yes, but in order to get Mac back, he'd have to clear waivers again, right? So could we be clearing his half million salary off of the cap in order to make room for a move or two? It's very likely I would think. Cause if Holland wants to add two players, you gotta think he'd be looking at Guerin, Tkachuk, and as a secondary player now - Laraque - who I hope we can get cause he would be an excellent addition to our fourth line and be the goon type of guy we are looking for. We could get him for a mid round pick I would think as well.

Oh and it creates an open roster spot to add the new player... PLEASE TKACHUK or GUERIN!!!!!

Yes it is. If the Wings were to do this I would hope that either Tkachuk or Guerin would like it enough in Detroit to resign. But it sounds like a lot of people love living in St.Louis.

[Majsheppard 203]

MacDonald might be related guys.

I think that if Liv is the guy that is on the trading block, they would want MacDonald to clear waviers so he can go back down to Grand Rapids.

If he doesn't clear waviers. Then who cares. A little more cap room for us and another roster spot we can fill with some griffin.

That is funny, because St Louis is like the only place with a Higher crime rate then Detroit.

Guerin is acceptable to me, but Tkachuck is not. Really neither will be worth the price they are asking.

If we can get away with one of our stable Dmen for Burtuzzi or just a conditional draft pick I would prefer that over giving up a first and hudler for any rental player.
