Leadzedder 4 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 I agree. Might as well just have a fantasy draft if we're going to f*** the team up that much. Anyone that suggests the Wings trade for Fedorov automatically has no clue what they're talking about IMO. The guy sucks now. Get the ******* nostalgia out of your system. You might be right, that may be too many new players to take on, if that's what you meant. May, be next time when making a point you could pretend you're not a cynical ass.,., and your point will come across a bit better. And I'd say that anyone that suggests what you did doesn't know what they are talking about, IMO. It makes me question their intelligence and age, but mostly age. I mean that as serious question. I'm 32, I've seen Fedorov as a wing and due to center ice (admittedly, not this year though) watched him over the years. Some of the reason I want him is for nostalgia, but also for what he could bring at his current age. Some of the folks that say Fedorov sux, is that cause you are too young to have watched Fedorov. I've always been curioius of that. As for who knows what they are talking about. I'd bet Holland either gets, tries, or looks into getting Fedorov. If any of those things happen, I know what i'm talking about and you don't. But anyways agallach, add something worthwhile to the thread, who would you get at the deadline?

Leadzedder 4 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 No? Blake for a 1st 2008, Emmerton, Samuelson Fedorov for a 2nd 2008, Kindl, Meech I'm not saying I'd like it but picks and prospects is like saying "whatever it takes". Throw Howard, Ericsson and a few more 1sts in there. I'm' sure some combination of depth players, picks and prospects could get it done. Just exagerating to make a point. Obviously, at some point, the cost becomes too high. If it looks like we have to give up too much, maybe we look at Hossa. What did we give up for Bert last year? a 2nd and a prospect (not highly rated at the time)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fedorov will not cost all that much because his suitors will be few and far between, which makes me nervous because i dont want him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,153 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 Hey sponge, thanks for the reply. We'll call it dumb reply #1. Dismantle? Dude, I traded away Samuelson and Meech. But your reply reminded me of something. I actually meant to talk about that and forgot. The one possible downside of my proposal is bringing in 4 new players into a team that already works great, meaning is 4 new faces too many? Maybe but for 2 of them it's just returning home. Bringing in 2 new big names in Forsberg and Blake might be an adjustment but I think with Detroit's leadership and dressing room, it would be a positive and nto a negative. ...you'll have to excuse him, as well as most of the members on here. They all hate Forsberg because he was an ave. They hate Fedorov because he left. Even though the addition of either of those two would pretty much guarantee us a Cup. Both would cause other teams to file grievances with the league. Add Blake and they'll disqualify us for conspiracy to buy the Cup. These guys are just to afraid to admit the would all love to see Feds back with us. One thing I would change about your lineup, Trade Hudler. He totally sucks, is overrated (on this forum) and pretty much lacks what it takes to make it in the NHL... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While i wouldnt go so far to say he sucks, i do agree he's overrated here. Remember the thread about Hudler potentially becoming a 50 goal scorer when he went on his little hot streak? Funny, now he's only one pace for 1 more goal than he had last season, while getting much more ice time this year to boot and playing on the 2nd line.

Grind_Lines_#1_Fan 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 If it aint broke don't fix it....Ken Holland wouldn't bring in 4 new players at the deadline. Fedorov has a concussion right now, and quite frankly I don't want him back...Mac, I love the guy but I don't see him coming back this season if at all...Sundin, I guess its possible, but word is he wants to stay in Toronto...Forsberg, I seriously think he is done in the NHL, maybe altogether. I would like to see the Wings make a move before the deadline, but nothing to drastic. Right around now is when teams on "the bubble" so to speak need to decide if they can contend or plan for next season. Thankfully the Wings are in a situation, where they don't have to make that decision, and its obvious. Holland said he would like to improve what is already on the roster, but I won't be shocked or disappointed if nothing happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leadzedder 4 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 Leftwinger... yeah that lineup would be sick, eh? Too bad it won't happen. But for the record, I typed up one of these last year and I got 2 out of 3, although William's replacement didn't have a name. I think I called him William's upgrade. As for the posters, I don't get them. I think they are mentally challenged, but I'm sure they think the same about me, and I'm ok with it, we'll call it a wash. As for Hudler, disagree. He's a good, cheap complimentary player. Provides secondary scoring. I see him teaming up with someone in the future and having great chemistry with them, not sure who. He'll never be a first liner but I see him as an important part of our offence for years to come, whether it be on 2nd or 3rd line duty. In the cap era, you need cheap guys that can pot, and play your system. He'll be a guy that makes others better. That said if you could turn him into a young, power forward type that can pot a few, you have to do it. But he sure as hell aint no throw in for a rental.

Leadzedder 4 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 Why not trade Downey for Downie, and then demote that Downie. Personally, I don't think Philly makes that trade. Even if they did Downie would likely be suspended and I'm not sure he would affect the cap hit while suspended. But I like where your head's at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leadzedder 4 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 Hey Grind Line.... yeah Sundin would be a great addition. I guess I just have a feeling, he is gonna be way too expensive. If they go all out for one guy, I'd prefer Hossa with the hopes of being able to resign and fit him in financially for awhile. As an aside, I'd have no problem getting rid of Hudler for Hossa, as part of the package of course. As for whether we make a move or not. I'd be absolutely shocked if we didn't. Leaving 5 mil on the table. I don't think so. Guaranteed we get a dman. Over and above that, maybe, maybe not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
