redwingfan19 293 Report post Posted October 26, 2007 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.

Guest wingswillwincup Report post Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) 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 Edited October 26, 2007 by wingswillwincup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grittzkey 1 Report post Posted October 26, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) 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!!! Edited October 26, 2007 by Detroit # 1 Fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgodzina 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earthhuman 8 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 lol are u kiddin me Paul Ranger is better than any of our defensemen except Nicklas Lidstrom and maybe Brian Rafalski 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
