Keep Salei. Give up Ericsson or Kindl.

Agreed 100%. That line looks better then Helm Hudler Abdelkader.

Keep Salei. Give up Ericsson or Kindl.

I'm not sure if youre being serious, but in all honesty Kindl would be a pretty good guy we could probably trade to them since theyre rebuilding.

Kindl doesn't look like he'll be much more then a number 4 guy at most and with Smith looking much better he really is expendable.

Carkner and a 4th or 3rd for Kindl would probably help our team by giving us a big, tough, defensive presence and Kindl can be a second PP guy after Karlsson for the Sens in the future.

Not to mention Carks is one of the top 5 tough guys in the game right now. Do it Kenny

[Drake_Marcus]

Get Chris Neil or Carkner. How is it the sens can find 2 good tough guys who can play the game well but Detroit can't find any

While I agree that Neil would be a great addition (roster overcrowding aside) I'd like to point out that the Sens suck and the Wings are fighting for top spot in the West. So, you know... Holland must be doing things better than Murray.

Huh? Keep the old guy and give up the two BIG, young puck-movers as the post-Lidstrom era approaches.

Big d-men who can skate well and move the puck are tough to find in this league.

We accidentally broke into the Corel Centre in Ottawa a few years ago. I think it's the ScotiaBank place now or whatever. Some rich dude in a suit used his card to get in and he kept the door open for us. We practically got a free view of the entire facility. I went to the locker room and took a piss in the same place as Heatley, Alfie and Spezza. I hate each of them, but it's the thought that counts.

He obviously is but I just find it odd that Holland is always saying he is looking to add a gritty guy but cant seem to find the right guy. I think Carkner would be perfect to trade for and lock into Salies spot for years to come as our 6th dman who is defensive minded and has some edge (a hell of a lot of edge in this case) since Salei should be gone after this season. He can play the game just as good as Salei, while being one of the toughest guys going and comes at a cheap salary

Well i think a lot of that is not wanting to pay a guy like Neil 2mil a season. That is just a terrible contract. Carkie, I can see why Holland never signed him. He's 30 years old and didn't play in his first full NHL season until last season.

Here's a guy who essentially re-ruined a franchise by trading for Yashin and DiPietro. Two guys with less than spotless attitudes...

I imagine die hard Islander fan's (all 14 of them) ears burn when he speaks. Us Detroiters should call him Matt Milbury.

[jeff48109]

Chris Neil is signed for $2m. There is no way that contract fits the wings structure. Carkner pretty much is a pylon.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

I wouldn't mind Neil or Ruutu, but as mentioned, there is really no room up front. Also, Neil's contract is ridiculous for a 4th liner. I'd like to see Carkner in a Wings sweater, maybe we can somehow get him here. Wouldn't be surprised to see Chris Phillips, Mike Fisher, Nick Foligno, and Chris Campoli moved either. I doubt anyone will go after Gonchar's contract.

[Z and D for the C]

Sorry I dont have the boner for Filppula a lot of people here do

You also obviously don't have a boner for having a good team, if you're willing to trade Filppula AND A PICK for Fisher. It's not even worth discussing.

[Wingzman91]

Fisher also, is 4 years older than Flip, never won a Cup or married anyone with talent.
4 out of 10 years he managed to play atleast 70 games. This year he hasn't missed any, so far.
Call me a homer, but, Fisher has been all the way to the finals, and didn't make it happen then.
Hardware does the talking, bs opinions classify the rest.

Some decent points. Plus, they've played the same amount of post-season games and Filppula blows him out of the water in playoff production.

You must not watch him play, typical LGW post. This guy get in fight, he suck at hockey for sure.

He is used as a PKer, plays over 15 minutes a game and is probably a top 3 tough guy in the league. What does Salei provide as a 6th defenseman that Carkner does not. They really are similar players except Carkner is tougher (Oh I just answered my own question, hes tough, thats a lgw no no)

I can't believe I'm saying this (and he is still an idiot), but I actually agree with Milbury. Kovalev has been a lazy floater and a waste of talent for the majority of his career.

Funny he could never recognize that trait in his years as a GM.

He's also a relative of ex-Red Wing Terry Carkner

I'd be happy to see Carkner take Salei's spot. He's definitely an ideal 6th defenseman and Salei is at the end of his career anyway.
