stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Seems like a heavy load for Bouwmeester's giant contract and the 3 goals he scored last year. Agreed and I'm not even saying I'd do it, but that may be what it would take... I still would like to see us make serious pitches to trade for Yandle or Bogosian...

stuck in socal 56 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 This is why Kenny signed Ericcson for so much. Big E is going to use his size and strength and pressure other GMs into acquiring Hudler.

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 I'd like Yandle here but there's no way it happens. I think the odds of that are incredibly low too, but it's not impossible... they're financially a mess and he could garner a big return... once again, I think there is less than a 10% chance of him being moved, but you never know...

I'll take Hudler playing in all situations and on the PK and seeing 20 min a night before ever seeing Lebda in the red and white again...

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Not surprised no one wants him. lol. I mean if he's that big of distraction in our locker room ffs get rid of him. Obviously we aren't goint to give him away for free but doesn't even seem like a bag of pucks right now will do it. Sooner we get rid of Hudler the better imo...

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 just looking a wpg's d situation, i think bogo could be available if we give them good value back (aka not just huds). DEFENSEMEN Dustin Byfuglien ($5.200m) / Ron Hainsey ($4.500m) Tobias Enstrom ($3.750m) / Johnny Oduya ($3.500m) Mark Stuart ($1.700m) / Derek Meech ($0.700m) Already got a top 4 that are all decently young (all 30 or younger) and making a fair chunk of cash. if bogo is looking for 4.5+ i don't see them doing it right now with the guys they already have signed at higher salaries... If we can offer a good package (im not going to speculate) i think they could live with losing bogo looking at the d they have signed already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted July 2, 2011 You mean we could possibly recoup the wasted money we gave to Ericsson? Yes, please! Then use that money to get us a gritty scoring forward with size and a right handed shot, please! Or Wizniewski. And where are you planning to find this imaginary forward?

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 And where are you planning to find this imaginary forward? Well it would have been earlier, but all have been snatched up. At this point, if we can trade Hudler for whatever and have cap room, i'd take one of the following forwards: Gagne Arnott Prospal Bernier (still only 26 with tons of potential) just looking a wpg's d situation, i think bogo could be available if we give them good value back (aka not just huds).

Agalloch93 28 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 I think Bogo has to be signed for a big amount for Peg to make the floor. Not really, they're only 10 million from the floor right now, and that's still with 1 defenseman to sign, and 5 forwards, two of which are Ladd and Wheeler whom will command a decent amount of money.
