egroen 384 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 The Fourth Period is reporting the Wings are looking at Chris Neil (OTT) and Blair Betts (NYR). Holland allowed himself to be quoted on the air last night by Ken Daniels that "No, he is not in talks with Murray about Neil. At all." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaman 713 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Holland allowed himself to be quoted on the air last night by Ken Daniels that "No, he is not in talks with Murray about Neil. At all." But Kenny does like his cards close to his chest on trade deadline day, so dunno what to think of that quote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rice 42 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Man, Calgary is scary if this is true. I wonder who they're giving up. I'm guessing Leland Irving is one of the key pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah and just to play devils advocate here just because he wasn't talking to him then doesn't mean he isn't now. We'll never know unless Neil becomes a Red Wing.

We'll never know unless Neil becomes a Red Wing. Kenny likes to confuse people. It's all part of the game of negotiations. That being said, I've never seen Betts play I don't think. I can't imagine a guy I've never heard of would be worth acquiring when we have so much talent in the works. I'd really only like to make room for an experienced playoff vet with a lot of heart and grit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Third Man In 2,091 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Olli Jokinen to Calgary? Wow, they could be scary ... You think so? His production has dropped each of the past three years. He'd give the Flames a bit more scoring depth, but I don't think he's the support Iginla and Cammalleria need to really make them a force. They would still be relying on Kipper to take them far.

Frozen-Man 144 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 REPORT: To CAL: O. Jokinen, To PHX: Unkown HaHaHaHa How sad is this - it took me a good 15 seconds to realize you meant Unknown - I was trying to figure out who the the heck Unkown was, why I have never heard of him, why Phoenix would trade a guy like Jokinen for him. Sad really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedWingAbner 13 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Can someone confirm the salary issue? As I understand it, the Wings have about $4 mill in cap space, based on LTIR savings from Stuart and Holmstrom. TSN reports it's closer to $300k; their analysts say it's around $1.2 M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It certainly does-- players on LTIR don't count against the cap while they are on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
