WMUCarGuy 8 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 At work today a coworker forwarded me an email he received from a friend who apparently lives next to or near Ken Holland. No idea how reliable this is, but this person claims the Wings are about to trade Zetterberg to Florida for Stephen Weiss and a 2nd round draft pick. 3 number9, 55fan and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rubbel_die_Katz 24 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) can´t imagine. If we trade, we would/should look for a goal-scorer. Weiss has only scored 20 or more goals twice in his career. We have enough pass-players. Beside this, i do not like the idea of hank beeing traded. Edited January 12, 2012 by Rubbel_die_Katz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,953 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 If Zetterberg's name is in the rumor and the other name is anything short of Ovechkin or Stamkos or Malkin then don't believe your friend's brother's uncle who lives next door to Holland's bastard child's half brother's nephew, who just happens to bank at the same place as Kory Kocur... 10 thegerkin, SaCkaveli20, Hockeymom1960 and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Maybe the minus ticks are because this isn't even a rumor, this is unsubstantiated pap. It's like the beginning of Take It On The Run by REO Speedwagon: "Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another that Hank might be traded for Stephen Weiss." This is less than a rumor. 7 puckloo39, Rebound, thegerkin and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Well, I can clear all this up real fast. Hank and I are sorta FWB, so the next time I see him, I'll ask him if he's going anywhere. After he laughs and says he'd never leave me (such a sweetie, that one), I'll say I mean is he leaving the Wings. He'll say no, I'll post it here, and we'll all put this behind us. Done. 3 Z Winged Dangler, Jenny and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Well for what it's worth - someone here had the luxury of attending a Tigers game in Mike Ilitch's suite...Can't remember who it was, but he said that a somewhat intoxicated Ken Holland was there as well...Being a Wings fan this poster chatted with Holland for some time; eventually telling him that Modano was gonna become a Red Wing. Now I personally don't think Hank is going anywhere soon, but ya never know. Now I know you did not start this thread so I'm not trying to single you out, but I'm guessing that the hot Modano tip was on the heals of it, generally, being common knowledge or pretty close to this type of scenario. EVEN if Holland planned on trading Zetterberg, and EVEN if he was close to this neighbour both geographically and personally, I doubt he would off-handedly disclose such a specific amount of info. Maybe, when prompted, Holland might have said "we're open for trade talks for Zetterberg if the right package came along", but anything else is hard to believe. Now I'm just speculating here of course, using my best logic. I can't believe this thread even exists, it's so absurd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wingzman91 134 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 I was out checking the mail today and Holland was mowing his yard, on his bluetooth. I heard him, say 'Zetterberg' and 'dumbest move ever', so I put 2 and 2 together." - recovered from lost email. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 I wouldn't question whether someone knows Holland's neighbor or is Holland's neighbor, but i do question the validity of Holland disclosing such information, actually I'd question the information in general because if it was going to happen, there would be no delay.

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Man..aside from the ridiculousness of trading Zetterberg for anyone, the guy couldn't even make up an equivalent player to trade for? In what world would Zetterberg be given up for Weiss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
