SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Boucher reportedly signed in Carolina (1.9 million for 2 years)... Holland, you do realize we need a backup 'tender right? Osgood had better not be our backup so he can play 5 games and be on the IR half the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 308 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 No room for forwards now for the Wings with 12 guys signed, plus Emmerton (out of options) and Mursak. No backup goaltender, no #2 defenceman. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? I know, right I can not believe the league outlawed trades and stopped the Free agency period at 2:45.... Oh what's that you say, the Wings can make trades to free up a forward roster spot or two, they could even sign more players still. Oh s*** I thought they were screwed for a minute there!

Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Im starting to get worried about Holland...should we send a police officer over to his office to see if he is still alive...maybe call his mother....maybe waking up and realizing he is paying ericsson 3.25 million dollars gave him a heart attack 1 cjm502 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you seen any indication out of the Wings front office that this is at all part of the plan? They've had a ton of time to free up Hudler if they wanted to. I know I want what you said to be the case, too, but the NHL-calbre defencemen and backup goaltenders are going fast. Boucher would totally have fit in in that backup role, getting 18-25 games behind Howard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're going to wait in a slim UFA market, then you run the risk of losing out on the better players. Simple as that. As this team stands right now, we are not going past the 1st round.

Crashnburnluder 385 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Soo I'm kinda thinking it's Big fish or no fish. I'm leaning towards no fish. More then likely we will trade but I would love to wheel Filppula in a package for a Dman and sign richards.

Haha Hypothetically, what if Stamkos just did not want to play for TB.... what if for some reason he wasn't comfortable there and wanted to go somewhere else. Maybe Holland trades him to Detroit for something, who knows. Again, I'm just pipe-dreaming. I would s*** a brick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boucher would totally have fit in in that backup role, getting 18-25 games behind Howard. Yeah because it is a good idea to do all of your deals/moves in the media, that way all of your fans know you are at least doing something. Instead of negotiating on the phone with WPG for Bogosian (it is a potential deal) Holland should do it through LGW or the Freep, that way his fan base knows what he is doing. Free agency has been going on for 3 hours, very few major trades have happened yet. I am not saying Holland lands anymore players or makes any moves, what I am saying is; it is 3 hours after all of this started and people on here are tweaking! What if by the end of the day Holland trades for Bogo, giving Huds, Flip, and Emmerton (or Kindl or Smith) freeing up the room to sign Richards? Will all of you come back on here and say you overreacted? NO, no one ever does. July 1st and the trade deadline are the biggest Holland headhunting days of the year on here. 2 Majsheppard and Uncle Danny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
