I am starting to think that the Wings are going to focus on a faceoff guy.

Well if they need a faceoff guy might as well just go with Konopka

conflicting reports out there on whether Wings can/will acquire Paul Gaustad...they do like him and he would be fine fit..rental too

[Matt]

Now reports saying Vokoun left the ice at practice. What a crazy day this always is.

[nyqvististhefuture]

i swear if we end up with samuelsson again im gonna lose it , this could be our last great chance to win the cup with lidstrom kenny's gotta get some balls for once and take a chance ! Put in a tatar or pulkkinen if need be ( depending on the guy of course)

[Tim.D]

Kevin Allen is really reputable so I will go with his report till an equally reputable source says talks are back on.

Craig Custance says Detroit may be the #1 player an Pahlsson right now. Sorry...now that rumor source was changed to Eklund...I no longer believe it.

Sporting News reported that.

Sammy is a very serviceable guy for the right price. Can play anywhere in the lineup, Right handed shot, knows the team, can play PP and PK, good defensively. The only reason he left is because we felt that the money was too much and who can argue with him taking a shot and going where the money was at the time.

Sporting News reported that.

Also from KuklasKorner

Update: Per Nicholas J. Cotsonika:

One report says Red Wings will not acquire Gaustad. Another says talks are heating up. Obviously they want him but only at the right price.

And the Detroit News’s Ted Kulfan:

i said this...where?

i can't wait to see the wings do absolutely nothing today. so glad they have all that cap space.

When you make comments about having lots of cap space, one can put two and two together. Comments like the above insinuate more than you realize.

You didn't come out and directly say it, but your constant criticism is not only unwarranted, its annoying.

been there done that , dont want him back ....i love that holland doesnt just trade away assets , the problem is he never takes any chances though ... if there was time to take a chance it would be now , we got cap room we have alot of good prospects and with lidstrom possibly going we have to go for it all this year .... not saying any prospect is available but id trade one for like a dustin brown type impact guy .... steve ott??? we need a nasty guy in our lineup

Red Wings are not acquiring Gaustad.

According to USA Today insider and ESPN as well.

[kylee]

No Gaustad?? that's my number one realistic trade. Boo.

And please, for the love of God, No Mikael Samuelsson

I think this was reported earlier but now it may be heating back up per another post on here. so who knows. I guess like always you never know until the smoke clears who we get/got=)

[NeverForgetMac25]

so i never said it...thanks.

glad we cleared that up.

Congrats, you're the first person in history to believe they can insinuate, then back-track and proclaim they didn't say anything. You're not fooling anyone.

I'm done with this futile and childish conversation. Grow up and quit pouting.

You know that's never going to happen until he get's out of his pimply faced teen years. So we may have a long time to wait. We have been having to put up with his posts for how long now?

[Rivalred]

We need someone up front and who can give the opponent the Englewood Jack....

Ok guys. Let's refocus the discussion to the trade deadline. I think there's been more than enough criticism of each other's posting styles.

[Tim.D]

Kevin Allen says Parenteau will not be dealt.

[Matt]

Article on the Gaustad talks "heating up", FWIW (this was after the Allen tweet):

^ This. Shanabans forthcoming for those that don't. No further bickering about it from this point forth.
