Pre-Olympic Trade Deadline Talk

Clearly they were scouting Brad May's abilities as he was sitting in the press box .

[scotzman 29]

scouts don't travel for waivers.

Exactly... J-Willy is a gonner.

Well we did find someone who liked those same abilities of Leino.

[superstarsingh 23]

Williams looked alright out there last night so that is a positive for his trade value...I suppose.

If Kronner is the one being placed on LTI it doesnt make sense to place May on waivers. Unless they are also trying to pick someone up and need the cap space for that. Based on salaries there are only 3 that combined with May make up what we need to clear for Lilija.

Lebda + May

Big E + May

or Maltby + May

Everyone else that could be combined with May is either still not enough or more than enough on their own.

Out of all the teams in attendance last night, who would J-Willy help out the most?

...by the way, it would be nice if your jersey avatar came true someday (as much as I hate playing against him)>

[Hank Dats 'N Homer 81]

Why would all those scouts be at the game if Holland's plan all along was to waive May and place Kronner on LTIR? Something's up folks!

esteef

Maybe they were there looking at san jose?

Bite your tongue sir. I pray that he will never ever come here. Hes nothing but a goon.

Agreed, seems silly to waive May if putting Kronner on LTIR frees up the needed cap space... anyone know the rules on that?

[e_prime 1,936]

I'm surprised that TSN or TSN2 isn't covering this mini-trade-deadline the way they cover the actual trade-deadline.

You know... all day coverage and wild speculation.

How about Williams for Ott, straight up? They are both UFAs that make 1.5 mil.

But seriously, I wouldn't mind if the Wings held onto Williams as he has looked alright since he came back but salary cap reasons might force him out.

something else is in the works - this move, combined with all the scouts there last night... something is up...

[scotzman 29]

Really? He seems like a guy that gets under the other teams skin... he does it to us and many others all the time.

Either way, it ain't happening this year.

Are these moves official or just being reported by McKenzie?

[GSBrooks13 204]

Plus he's a shootout specialist.

Trade Filppula and a 2nd Rd pick for Horton? Release May & Lebda. Get it done Kenny!

Most likely the ratings weren't expected.

He is one of those guys that you are supposed to hate...until he wears the jersey of your favourite team. Ott would work here but not for his salary. He was a major pain in the ass in the 2008 WCF, a positive pain in the ass (for the Stars).

Ive seen him take way to many cheap shots over the years. Not a fan. I would be pretty disgusted if Kenny thought this guy was what the Wings needed.

McKenzie isn't typically one to speculate wildly. He usually has information before he tweets.

Yea, because Fla wouldn't want more than that in return and we'd still be in cap hell...

I hate trade proposals on this board... they're never even close to logical...

I dunno i would have a hard time rooting for that guy. Although i love Avery, so maybe im just weird.

[Octopus's Garden 147]

I love wild speculation.

Filpulla and Lebda to Florida for Vokoun. Waive Osgood, put Maltby on LTIR.

Does any of that make sense? I don't care.

Anyone who loves Avery is most certainly weird.

Okay, howsabout TSN8?

I usually take the day off to watch the trade deadline... even though it's typically not worth it.

Today, I don't have to work until this evening... so, I wouldn't mind having it on while doing stuff around the house.
