Now, I'm pretty sure that Hossa is going to go to Montreal, at least all the signs are pointing that way. However, nobody has really brought up this point:

Hossa has made it clear that he wants to go to a team that is a consistent Stanley Cup contender. Well, Montreal missed the playoffs, and in recent history, I can't really ever thinking of them being a legitimate contender. They weren't really supposed to do anything this year either, and I really don't consider them to be much of a threat, with or without Hossa this year.

However, I assume that Hossa doesn't really have control over the team he is traded to, only the team that he signs an extension with. On TSN, they seem to think that he will be a rental for Montreal or Ottawa (who I don't think are interested at all). Whatever.

Also, for the post I read earlier, I would like to have Staios on our team as well. And I rememver reading that Holland was at a Edmonton game last week, so who knows. But who will the forward be?? I have no idea. But if Holland doesn't trade for a top 6 forward, I will be PISSED.

His equipment is going to stay there too, in that building. I think they want him worse then anyone else.

So if tries to get one but no one wants anything that the wings have or they want more than what Holland is willing to give up, it's his fault?

Well they are the favorite.

I wouldn't mind Hal Gill in all honesty. For being on a crud team he has 20 points which is 8 above the NHL average and he brings toughness that we lack. 6'7" and fights and still produces. I'd take him over Lillypad and Lebs.

Why would you pt your description the way you did.. so deceiving..

I didn't mean to be deceiving. I was right on Bertuzzi last year. The Wings seem to get someone that we don't expect. The top players mentioned by the Media would take to much to get. We would have to give up alot. So what does Detroit do? They get someone that the media has not mentioned.

[rick zombo 3,739]

As a last resort and as a replacement for Lebda on the #3 pair with Chelios and just to add depth in general, I'd take him, if the price is right. He sure can clear a crease.

[russianswede919293 95]

I love how that guy was like all Detroit has is Downey...and the other guy went DARREN McCARTY *****!!!

Totally agree with everything you said exept being pissed.

As of right now I don't think there is a top six to be had that will fit our system for what we are willing to give up.

After hearing that Franzen, Val, and our top prospects are untouchable I resolved to be at ease. I think we have a great shot reguardless, but would love to get better.

If we add a not top six forward I would like to get another gritty guy that allows Franzen and Cleary to stay on the second line.

Great points! I agree!

Yeah...you should follow the Eastern Conference a little more. Theyre easily a top 3 team in the East this year. Theyre a contender..

[russianswede919293 95]

Salvador to NJ done pending physicals Hockey BUzz...

[Majsheppard 203]

I just love the backbone of all "experts"

Patriots, Spurs, Ducks, and Sox seem to be the only teams that exist.....

[jim3033 1]

Oh hockey pundits. They love Anaheim. We need a traid!

[CAredwingsfan91 28]

HAHAHAHA STUPID PRONGER!

[Feldmarschall 9]

I read that the Jackets are shopping Klesla. I'd rather have him, but his contract has some term left on it. Gill would be nice if Babs can bring out a bit of a mean streak in him.

[awingsincebirth 0]

Hey my man, I didn't say I was going to be reasonable about it.

However, cummon, Philly got Prospal for Picard and a conditional 2nd or 3rd. Prospal is a top 6 guy. If that is what it takes to get a top 6 guy, then we have enough to get one. I honestly think that Holland is thinking more out of the box then any of us are expecting, but I could be entirely wrong.

[russianswede919293 95]

Not only that but Gainey said "We traded for a rental named Kovalev 4 years ago and he didnt go anywhere"

SO don't count an estension out either...

BTW Barnaby and Panger take Lids over Pronger...

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

You'd think that after Uwe Krupp and Cory Cross Holland would learn that size doesn't necessarily mean physicality. I guess Gill is more physical than any of our defenseman, so it wouldn't be a bad move, but it doesn't make us the top Cup contender by any stretch.

Well, the Ducks added Niedermayer and Selanne. The Wings added....McCarty.

Dallas adds Richards

Anaheim adds Selanne and Niedermayer

Montreal adds Hossa

Ottawa adds Stillman and Commodore

Right...Id say Detroit is THIRD in line in terms of the Stanley Cup favorites. And thats just in the West..If Dallas adds Richards, Detroit takes a backseat to either of those two..

[Grim 5]

he can log gobs of minutes. thats always a bonus.

I wouldn't put Dallas ahead of us just yet. They have to get out of the 1st round of the playoffs before they get any fear from me. Their stars (no pun intended) have a way of disappearing in big games.

Im right with you...I wouldnt expect to see something that nobody has really thought of.

So far, Campbell hasnt gone anywhere. Rumors say San Jose, but the Campbell to Detriot rumors are starting to pick up...Im not too excited about Campbell, but jesus Id be ecstatic if we landed Stafford in that deal..
