The Secret 304 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I looked at some trade rumours this morning to see what people are thinking Detroit might do... I saw things like getting Forsberg and/or Sundin and my opinion is to pass on both. In my browsings I saw that Raffi Torres from Edmonton may be moved and I was very intrigued by that. I hate Torres more every single time we play Edmonton and that is what makes me think he would be great in Detroit. I hate him becuase he is doing his job as a gritty in your face type of player, kind of like how I used to hate Cheli when he played in Chicago. I'm thinking that Torres' style might blossom here and could play a big role, as Cleary is. I like this idea and wondered what you all think about it and what it would likely take to get him here?!

Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I don't think we need another top 6 forward. Who would he repace? Cleary? Huds? Filpulla? Why? I think we should get another solid defenseman rather than forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omnipotent_hudler 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Raffi Torres... the most dangerous kind of hockey player. THE MEXICAN KIND edit: oh yeah i'd take him for picks and a weak prospect, just think... we wouldn't have to dress Drake.

The Secret 304 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I'm not a Drake hater nor a fan. He is old and thoroughly washed. Sitting Drake and playing Tito Torres would be sweet.... if he came cheap enough of course. When asked who i would sit from Cleary-Huds-Filp... I'm not entirely sure but what would be wrong with a 4th competing for a 2nd line spot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckbags 863 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Sorry to say, but Raffi Torres is done for the year. He went in for knee surgery today We could get him really cheap now!! A couple rolls of sock tape and some used car parts should do the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
