[The Enforcer]

Any new news here or is Eklund drumming up interest in his site again?

[redwingfan19]

well I don't think they are going to trade drapes considering he just signed a new deal. Maybe they will get grigs into the game and showcase him. If a deal were to go down it could be maybe a hudler/prospect for prospal or something like that. Prospal would fill our need for a second line center/top six everyone has been talking about.

[HockeyCrazy3033]

Hopefully they ship out Drapes and Malts? Umm no.

[FinWing]

I think it's more like: Lilja and a pick for player X!!!1!!!!1

[redwingfan19]

i would do lilja and a pick for one of: o'brien, smaby or ranger. All young, big and physical and are projected to be top 4 d men.

[wingswillwincup]

eklund is full of crap ...... who the hell could tampa bay have to offer us that we'd want ???
realistically st louis , richards and lecavalier are going nowhere , prospal has 8 goals he's going no where as well , were fine with our defensemen , chris gratton at 6'3 220 pds might be the only guy we might want with an outside chance of getting him but i doubt theyd trade him

The only thing i can think of is since tampa has such bad goaltending they'd maybe take ozzie but i doubt the wings would trade him unless they decided one year playing 30 games in the nhl learning from the dominator before he becomes our starter next year might not be such a bad thing ( which i wouldnt mind) But again i dont see that happening. As i said eklund is full of crap lol

i would do lilja and a pick for one of: o'brien, smaby or ranger. All young, big and physical and are projected to be top 4 d men.

we got ericsson, quincey , meech ,kindl , and our last yrs #1 pick ..... we got tons of defensive prospects waiting , what this team needs is physical players who can also score , a nice power forward and sniper, defence is not a concern and with howard and larsson who i personally think will be our true number 1 in 2-3 yrs were good in goaltending as well

[GMRwings1983]

Drapes and Maltby in exchange for Lecavalier and St. Louis.

[Canadian Wings]

Hudler and a 3rd for Prospal

2nd at the most!

[Grittzkey]

Gratton would be an awesome pick up imo. but i dont see anything going down with either team. just another Eklund Rumor, that has 0% chance of happening

[Detroit # 1 Fan]

Hudler, Filpula, Grigs and Sammy for St Louis and a pick.

Definately wont happen, but I'd do it. Give's us a potential 40-50 goal scorer and a 90-100 point getter, and for a small guy, St Louis is pretty physical. Tampa Bay would love to grab some scoring depth, and Filpula, Hudler Grigs and Sammy could make there roster.

Also, the idea of Lilja/3rd for O'brien/Smaby/Ranger would be fantastic is Holland could pull it off, but it's a rumor so I wont put much into it.

It is Eklund, so take it with a grain of salt. Oh, and why do you hate Maltby and Draper so much, you have this stuff about canada in your avatar, without Draper and Maltby we'd have about 4 canadians, so I dont that, I dont understand why you dislike the guys either, been 2 of the most realiable defensive guys for Detroit in the last 10 years. Oh yeah, and 3 more!!!

[Kp-Wings]

Eklund hasn't even released any names mentioned in this "trade".

He's full of crap. Big surprise, isn't it?

[Draperfan]

Any new news here or is Eklund drumming up interest in his site again?

Uhhhh Drapes and Malts are as much to this hockey team as Zetts and Datz

[Grittzkey]

Uhhhh Drapes and Malts are as much to this hockey team as Zetts and Datz

Agree'd.

Id like this trade to happen.
Red Wings Receive: Ranger,Gratton, 6th and 7th Round Selection

Lightning Receive: Lilja, Kronwall, 3rd Round Selection


Think they would do it?

[Heaton]

Yes, but we wouldn't.

[Hiei]

Drapes and Maltby in exchange for Lecavalier and St. Louis.

DO IT KENNY!!!

[dgodzina]

I'd rather have Lecavalier than St. Louis. Although definitely not an enforcer, he's more physical than St. Louis and as good, if not better, of scorer.

[Erack82]

FYI kids: Any proposal with the name Paul Ranger in it can start off with a big fat no.

[vinnyfan4life]

who the hell could tampa bay have to offer us that we'd want ??? what are u kinding me...



realistically st louis , richards and lecavalier are going nowhere , prospal has 8 goals he's going no where as well ,
i agree with that





were fine with our defensemen !!!!!! uh no were not... like like Andreas Lilja but hes not that good, Brett Lebda is my fav D but same as Andreas not that good...Niklas Kronwall i think is just worthless....Chris Chelios i also like but i think the age is finally getting to him

Tampa has Filip Kuba, Shane O'Brien and the guy i want us to get .... if we even trade with tampa is Paul Ranger

FYI kids: Any proposal with the name Paul Ranger in it can start off with a big fat no.

lol are u kiddin me Paul Ranger is better than any of our defensemen except Nicklas Lidstrom and maybe Brian Rafalski

[Earthhuman]

That's why you can start it off with a big fat no.

Hudler, Filpula, Grigs and Sammy for St Louis and a pick.

Our second line for another superstar? Hudler, Sammy, and Flippula are worth about 60-70 goals. Who knows if a pick will pan out, especially a pick on a lower team- it will be lower down.

We have the best offense in the league. We don't need a second line scorer. We had one game were we only scored 2 goals... Rangers fans got to enjoy that every game.
