Frolov

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

With Frolov an impending FA after this season the Kings seem willing to trade him this year. I think the Red Wings should seriously consider putting a package together to acquire him and depending on how the season goes, offer an extension. With alot of contracts coming off the books after the season we will have some cap space to sign our own kew players and give Frolov a fair contract. Here is what I've come up with to make this work.......

Waive Maltby and Howard then trade

Holmstrom

Emmerton

Meech

Mursak

3rd round pick

for

Frolov

LA recieves two solid prospects with 2nd line potential, a puck moving defenseman that they need and Holmstrom can be a nice mentor to some of their younger players along with the pick.

Backup goalie I would either offer Cloutier a 500,000 contract or offer 600,000 to Gerber, Fernandez or Nittyamki. Depending on which way we go we will save some money and we upgrade this position albeit just a little.

This is the roster we end up with

Cleary-Zetterberg-Franzen

Frolov-Datsyuk-Bertuzzi

Leino-Filppula-Williams

Draper-Helm-Eaves

13th forward Jeremy Williams

Lidstrom- Rafalski

Kronwall-Stuart

Lebda-Ericsson

7th D-man Andy Delmore/cheap FA pickup

Osgood

Cloutier/Fernandez/Gerber/Nittymaki

P.S. NONE OF THIS WILL EVER HAPPEN BUT IT IS FUN TO DO

They would not waive Maltby.And I highly doubt the Kings would want Homer(even though I doubt the Wings would trade him either)since they just aquired Smyth who plays that role. And Gerber is in the KHL making far more than he would over here. Giving up way too much for Frolov. I like him,but he is way too hot and cold of a player. He is usally between 55 -65/70points. If they do it for draft picks and maybe a lower end prospect I would do that. But

Get smaller and less experienced for the playoffs! Sounds good to me.

Not.

Frolov would be a nice player to have, but if the Wings want him, they should wait till next offseason. Holmstrom's contract is up then, and so is Lidstrom who will most likely see his salary drop by at least a million. Not to mention Bertuzzi and Williams will be UFA's as well.

I can't remember the last time the Wings traded a regular roster player - not to mention the calibre of Holmstrom DURING the regular season. Holland doesn't seem to like to mix it up too too much before the playoffs.

What's ur problem bud? I didn't do anything to offend anyone with that thread. I just think we could use a top 6 forward to play on Datsyuk's wing.

I have no problem, and I am not offended. I would love to be able to upgrade this roster, if possible. I am Red Wings first; players second. However, we live in the world of the salary cap, now. And, with the Red Wings near that cap, they have to work with their younger players that they have been developing in their system more than ever. They have to get these guys ready for when the likes of Lidstrom, Draper, Maltby, Holmstrom, etc. leave. Making a comment of trading six players, plus a pick for one player, doesn't fly. The Red Wings have to work with what they have.

Holmstrom has said that this will likely be his last year (I seem to recall this somewhere...), so we wouldn't be able to trade him.

I'd like Frolov here, and it's a possibility, but we'll see how this year turns out.

I recall that there was an Mlive article where Holmström said that he takes one year at a time. His future depends on how healthy he stays.

I think trading Holmström wouldn't be too good an idea as his Red Wings tattoo would look stupid at any other team's locker room. To hide it he wouldn't be able to shower. Although not showering for months would make his net-front-presence even stronger. How could any goalie concentrate on the puck when Holmström smelling like death is standing in front of the crease?

Why did you mention that he has a Red Wings tattoo. Damn it. Now I have to like him a little bit. I do too.

Is that an exact stat?

The guys at capcalculator.eu.us.com need to know.
