Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 Honestly, if current trends are any indication, we should be more interested in the Wings' late-round picks. Not on TV though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaman 713 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 They basically said that we're in goalie trouble. Which is pretty untrue. I wouldnt say we have trouble in the next 3 years but, next 3-8 I would say if Howard doesnt come through, than we can be in trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats true, after the first 5 picks, the trades pretty much stopped. Invovling players that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Systemfel 33 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) We're taking Markström. I don't see how we can pass on him at #30. Tom McCollum. Booooooooo. If they had to take a goalie it should have been Markström. --- "Jakub Kindl is still playing in the AHL!!!!" - Pierre McGuire Really? STILL? He's spent one year down there.

Wingsfan4life19 26 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) We have two young goalies. I would've preferred a scorer. In Kenny I trust, but I'm skeptical now. We'll see. Edited June 21, 2008 by Wingsfan4life19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrazyGangsta 79 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 It's a smart future move ... considering howard or other prospects don't turn out to be good then we could have a backup plan ... considering none of our young goalies still haven't been tested... and if they do turn out to be good ... we could use him in a trade or anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZigZagYourTorso 8 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 Hmm this doesn't make much sense to me.......Maybe this means Howard could potentially be trade bait to set up for Miller in 09.....but I mean...that's me dreaming haha. Anyone have any idea why we selected him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sverige 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 I had a coworker take a picture of it from the Comerica Park press box but I haven't received it yet. It said congratulations from compuware and the carolina hurricanes. Well, they're probably regretting all the drama from the past and want to be able to do business with Detroit. Surprised about the goalie selection, but the announcers are right. Regardless of who they picked it's not like we'll see them for another 4-5 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hankzet40 233 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 I think it's a solid pick. I've read some good things about him and though he might not make it for a while it's good to have a backup plan in case any of the other goalie prospects flame out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
