winsgnut_19 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 Has anything been mentioned about contract talks? Could his back issues be a turn off for a long extention? Holland has been saying he has some tough decisions to make... hopefully they have nothing to do with Z. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rice 42 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 The only thing mentioned about his contract talks is that they can't begin until July 1st. Zetterberg won't be traded. Thornton overcame his back issues, so can Zetterberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 Has anything been mentioned about contract talks? Could his back issues be a turn off for a long extention? Holland has been saying he has some tough decisions to make... hopefully they have nothing to do with Z. You mean because there are not enough of his country men on the team? Because he has no set up guy to give him good passes? Because the team has no goalie? Would like to play with some older, more experienced guys? The front office is always on his case? No defense on the team? Not enough scoring on the team? Wants to play for a team that has more tradition? Yeah, I guess a case could be made that he would demand a trade.

interminded 1 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 And that's why Edmonton won't ever trade Gretzky or Boston won't ever trade Thornton. Oh wait.... Well, you got me there. There is always exceptions I guess. The only reason Edmonton traded away 99 though was cash.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're absolutely right that normally franchise players aren't traded. It only takes just one really stupid GM though.
