StevieY9802 6 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 The only deal I see the Wings making is for a backup goalies. That's it. And even that probably won't be until after the 1st of the year so the cap hit is smaller. Other than that I don't see them really doing anything at all this year.

topsideplaya 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 Anyone who wouldn't want Frolov a proven 30 goal scorer on this team is an idiot. We wouldn't even have to deal Leino or Abby to get him. Frolov would looks very nice on Datsyuk's wing and when Franzen comes back he can play on Zetterberg's. I would offer the Kings only prospects or picks and if they would take Meech or Lebda I'd love them. Franzen-Zetterberg-Cleary Filppula-Datsyuk-Frolov Bertuzzi-Helm-Williams Maltby-Draper-May/Eaves send abby back down to gain more experience and get more ice time. That will also leave us with an extra 800k in salary cap space. I would like to find a nice stay at home defenseman too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topsideplaya 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 Forgot Leino in that mix. Didn't mean to do that. I would expect him to be on the third line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted October 23, 2009 Frolov is good but yeah, a third liner/bench warmer of the Kings for a possible future 2nd liner and a young kid with talent that's still getting better? Leino alone for Frolov could maaaaaybe pass (depending on how the two do this year) or Abdelkader and a draft pick, I wouldn't trade away Leino and Abs for him though. You're just being a homer. He scored 30 goals last year and has had a very good career. I'm not saying I'm in love with Frolov all of a sudden but he's sure as hell better than Leino will likely ever be, and will probably get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted October 23, 2009 I say we trade Lidstrom, Datsyuk, and Zetty for Malkin and get rid of Osgood, Howard, and Franzen (since he is hurt and all) for Luongo. Then bring up Larsson as backup. Yeah that's it. We are sure to win then. These threads always create some really goofy ideas. Separates the fair weather fans from the real ones, I guess. Yeah, because trading Lidstrom Datsyuk and Z for Malkin is definitely proportional to trading Leino and Abds for Frolov. Leino isnt the future of the red wings, deal with it you finn's!!! you're right, filppula is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motown4013 350 Report post Posted October 23, 2009 that just seems to be too much for Frolov! I don't think they would do it! Lets talk Kopitar, who is finally having the season everyone expected he could...Then I would part with Ville and Abby. Frolov is talented but not at this price.

Carman 387 Report post Posted October 23, 2009 Lets talk Kopitar, who is finally having the season everyone expected he could...Then I would part with Ville and Abby. Frolov is talented but not at this price. We couldn't get Kopitar if we sold our entire team. He is almost as untouchable as Ovechkin for that franchise.

sureWhyNot 19 Report post Posted October 23, 2009 I don't know how much I like this specific deal but I do know one thing is for sure - We need more offense. There is no ifs, ands or buts about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
