RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 7th rounder ... boy, that's just a bit better than a bag of pucks. BUT we'll turn that 7th rounder into a Zetterberg like forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 Maybe Holland is trying to move contracts to get less than 50 contracts signed. Also, whats the condition? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim.D 176 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 Maybe Holland is trying to move contracts to get less than 50 contracts signed. Yup, would imagine that's the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) I posted this in the other thread, but it may also be of interest here. Here is what I was able to type from Commie's Sportsnet interview. Commie on SportsNet. He found out 6 min ago. He didn't expect to be traded. Has only talked to Holland, is now saying bye to the team. Believes he can be a veteran presence. Hopes to play a regular shift and get some PK time. Disappointed to leave because of the team, but he knows there isn't an opportunity for him in Detroit. He wants to play for a few more years, and hopes to play in many games this season. Being asked if he'd be open to re-sign with Tampa, Commie responded 'I just want to play. I just want to get out there and play.' He thanks Holland for seeing he didn't have a chance to play in Detroit and hopes to be able to play in Tampa. He wasn't miserable in Detroit because of his playing team. He liked the team in Detroit. Commie says, 'I'm single, no kids. I'll just pack a couple suitcases and fly south.'

Rice 42 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 There's got to be another move coming. Holland wouldn't give up defensive depth for the hell of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted February 27, 2012 Maybe Holland is trying to move contracts to get less than 50 contracts signed. An excellent possibility. I hadn't thought of that. Holland returning the favor probably. ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Yup, would imagine that's the deal. Would also mean that he's trying to bring in multiple players. Maybe Roy/Gaustad? Edit: Or, maybe not. I guess he could be trying to get a single player for pick(s). Edited February 27, 2012 by Z and D for the C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim.D 176 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 They would rather see Smith in lineup than Commie, hence the trade per Helene St. James. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 1,085 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 Bizarre...if it was an Emmerton or Mursak I could understand it to free up the logjam at forward, but this leaves us with 6 Dmen right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 whos another depth defensemen the wings could get??? i cant imagine holland would give up without getting someone else only because he's stated numerous times you could never have too much depth on defense for the playoffs ... chris campoli??(hope not) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 Why? Big E is out for the next month, Kindl isn't much better than Commodore... I hope that Holland is going to bring someone, if not this trade doesn't make sense at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 Classy move by Kenny to give Mike some playing time. Also frees up contract, and salary cap space. Something more is coming. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 They would rather see Smith in lineup than Commie, hence the trade per Helene St. James. doesnt make sense to call up smith now and put him on the bench , unless they call him up and kindl is the odd man out again which basically would mean kindl's days are numbered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 <br />Holland returning the favor probably.<br /><br /><br /><br />We got a pick for a fairly useless 8th DMan who is about to be a UFA. I don't think a favor was done by either team. At least we got a pick for a guy who was going to sit Til the end of the year and is we have room to trade prospects and picks for a roster player. 1 T.Low reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
