jvxp 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Holland did a crap job at the deadline. If this team flops in the playoffs I put it on him. He had cap space and did nothing but save Mr. I some money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yemack 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) wow looking at who they gave up for rental it is pretty steep. I don't know if we should have made the move I could see it is a smart move for us that we didnt do anything Edited February 26, 2008 by Yemack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First off. Learn2GM. Detroit never had a chance with what Pittsburgh offered. Secondly, please go watch the Tigers. The less half assed wings fans the better.

HAHAHAHA! Are you kidding? He went for junk? Colby Armstrong is not junk. He's exactly the type of player the Red Wings would kill for. Angelo Esposito is an unbelievable prospect. Currently the Wings don't have a single prospect as good as him offensively. He was taken 20th overall this year. Plus they got a 1st round pick, are you kidding me? Essentially they got 2 first rounders by getting Esposito as well. Christensen is the filler. Who cares, the rest of the stuff is gravy. It would've taken the Wings giving up Filpulla, Kindl, our 1st rounder this year and maybe our 1st rounder next year. Hossa was traded for junk? Where are the mods to get rid of the most idiotic 1% of posts around here? Yours qualifies in spades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordie Howe hat trick 110 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Well let's face it guys, we were tearing up the league at the beginning, and when we get healthy again we will have a great shot in my opinion. Sure Feds and Foote went in some people's eyes, "Cheeply" but personally I think both are on their way out. I wouldnt have wanted to put em' in the line.

Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Couldnt compete with that package. s*** looks like we got nothing........ Still hoping for brad stuart? Maybe Miro Satan?

Guest Agalloch Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Wow, are you people ******* stupid? Armstrong is a crappy grinder. Christensen is a piece of s*** and most Penguins fans know it. He's great at shootouts. Big ******* deal. Esposito is crappy and lazy. There's a reason he was passed on in the draft so much. The first rounder is likely nothing.

LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Well we got McCarty! How smart is Holland now? I guess our team IS better with Hudler and Sammy! ...look out here come all the defenders of Holland!!! We'll be lucky to score a goal in the first round let alone NOT get swept! You heard the one about slim and none and slim just left the building? Well that is all about the Wings now!!!!! ....Fedorov/Foote/Hossa... would have been nice, but Holland would rather blow Hudler... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Oh wow, Pittsburgh gave up a ton! I still don't understand why fans would have wanted Hossa anyway. We already have Zetterberg and Datsyuk (same type of player), plus Hossa is a no show in the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We already have Zetterberg and Datsyuk (same type of player), plus Hossa is a no show in the playoffs. I can see why some may be upset, but like I said earlier I think Pitt lost that trade. Also, keep in mind Dats used to be a no show in the playoffs for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airborn 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 An equivalent trade for us might have been: 1. 2008 1st round pick 2. Brendan Smith 3. Hudler 4. Kopecky It's a lot to give up for someone you either are just renting or have to turn around a give $7 mill per for about 7 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozen-Man 144 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 ....Fedorov/Foote/Hossa... would have been nice, but Holland would rather blow Hudler... We NEVER could have gotten all three of these and would have had to give up way to much even if we only got Hossa. Look at what Pitt gave up to him. Furthermore, Foote had a NTC and didn't want to come to DET and the Blue Jackets might not have wanted to deal to a division team. But whatever, just go ahead and rant anyway.

Barrie 900 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 ....Fedorov/Foote/Hossa... would have been nice, but Holland would rather blow Hudler... Dude listen, Columbus wouldn't have traded with us, plus Foote was only going to waive his no-trade if he went to Colorado. And why should we have matched the offer for Hossa? Also, maybe other teams don't have much interest in Hudler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
