On the Topic of Trades...

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

Here is an exerpt from TSN's Dirt Sheet:

The Skinny: The Blue Jackets could be sellers if they fall out of contention for a playoff spot in the West, and Fedorov - along with Michael Peca and Adam Foote - could be given For Sale signs. The Detroit papers have already speculated the possibility of No. 91 returning to the Motor City for one last run, and the veteran centre - in the final season of a five year, $40 million contract - has already said he would be all right with that. - Detroit News/Free Press

Is there a possibility that Kenny would go after all 3 of these guys? He has some assets that play normally (Hudler, Lilja, Sammy, Kopecky) and has prospects and picks.

Would these 3 players be a risk worth taking to add to the Wings or would 1 or 2 be the most he would go after?

I dont think we would go after all 3 of them.. but Feds would be a great addition IMO.

I don't know if KH is willing to make that type of blockbuster deal. I am sure if this losing streak and these supposedly secondary scorers don't step up, he may have too. I know it wouldn't bother me. I have never been a fan of Lilja, I believe he is a total liability, as well as Hudler and Kopecky. I hate to jump the gun just because were losing right now, but we may need to jump in with both feet.

I think they should look into a trade for Fedorov and Foote.

[ShanahanMan 473]

Foote is washed up. I'd rather see Stuart.

Foote will be overpriced if they start dumping salary, Rangers and Pittsburgh have made it no secret they are interested in his services.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Those guys wont get Foote. Anyone of them could get Feds however.

[rage 24]

I am pretty sure they are going to re-sign Foote. Maybe they do a trade then sign him in the off season, but I doubt it.

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

I'm not against Fedorov coming back.....but he's not the same Fedorov that wore the Winged Wheel 5 years ago.

[Grittzkey 1]

My Personal Order

Foote

Peca

Federov

We need a good defensive -dman who has a mean streak. or a physical forward like Peca..

[Superman54 91]

Foote is washed up. I'd rather see Stuart.

agreed

But man Id love to have Feds here!!!

[12Newf 0]

mccarty...fedorov...this sounds familiar. although i want it so badly. add a physical d man and we would be unstoppable

[sinbin 3]

I'm tellin' ya..........Feds will be here!....just a gut feeling.......

[VM1138 1,921]

All three of them would be great assets. But since we're apparently looking at Brad Stuart, Foote isn't necessary. So let's keep with Federov and Peca (both, if we could, but that's hugely unlikely) Both are talented veterans who can provide secondary scoring and sound defensive plays.

[Echolalia 2,961]

Please no Fedorov. Seriously, what can he possibly do that Sammy (oh god) can't?

[Superman54 91]

id take feds over sammy anyday

[Louisville 112]

It's ironic how you used the word seriously to finish that sentence.

well duh

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

well duh

That's it? Alright....you sure? Ok.

The way some people are going on and on for Fedorov, I wonder if they realize it.

PLEASE tell me that you did not just compare Sammy to Feds.

[Salviaman 104]

PLEASE tell me that you did not just compare Sammy to Feds.

HE DID!

[Echolalia 2,961]

PLEASE tell me that you did not just compare Sammy to Feds.

Last time I checked Sammy had better stats across the board then Feds, and also didn't have injury problems (a common problem for most washed up players).

Now, I'm not saying Samuelsson is good; I want him off this team as much as anyone here, but I think bringing Fedorov back to Detroit would be a huge waste of prospects and/or draft picks. He has nothing left in the tank, he's had nothing left for a while, and he's getting progressively worse with each year. If we want to bolster our team up, lets get someone who can actually produce what we need, not sell tickets for the 90's diehards to reminisce.

yeah that's all i needed to say. seems dumb to point out that he's not the same player now that he used to be. news flash, we know that. any other revalations in hockey you wanna share that you know of like the nets are 6x4? and i wasn't even making fun of you buddy. i don't like to get in arguments with other wing fans. doesn't mean we still don't want him back for what he does at this point.

Sammy has 9-22-31, +13 in 57 games.

Fedorov has 8-19-27, -4 in 47 games.

Major differences? Fedorov has been used in a more defensive role with players generally lacking offensive talent. Samuelsson has been used in an almost exclusively offensive role with linemates whose offensive talent exceeds his own. And Fedorov still has a better GPG, APG, and PPG. So Fedorov is posting better numbers with no help, while playing better defensive hockey than Sammy.
