T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Alain Vineualt to Montreal, Mike Babcock to Vancouver. Coaches do indeed have a shelf life. Don't get me wrong, I really like Babcock. Ryan Kesler for Ryan Getzlaf. Both need a change of scenery. WHat are your crazy hunches?

mmamolo 287 Report post Posted April 24, 2012 I doubt Vignault gets fired but if he did I could definitely see him in MTL. That's not that crazy. Mike Babcock will 100% not be fired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted April 24, 2012 If anything I could see the Canucks and Pens swapping coaches. Despite what some folks may think, Babs is still an effective coach in Detroit, and management is aware of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted April 24, 2012 Wasn't directed at you or this thread actually, it's more the 30+ threads about Suter, Parise, and adding players this offseason. It seems like half of the General Discussion is filled with them. It was more sarcasm then anything. I normally am not the type who goes out of their way to be rude, as that wasn't my intention. 1 centcougar07 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted April 24, 2012 Thinking Babcock will be fired is like 2001 when people wanted Bowman fired. Who out there is better than Babs? It's a simple answer, no one! 2 Ray1905 and roboturner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Getzlaf is wayyyyyy better than Kesler. If Vancouver pulled that off it'd be criminal. The Vancouver radio guys said that Anaheim was up here kicking the tires on Kesler a few times this season. FWIW... Don Taylor, one of my favorites from Vancouver's team 1040, is thinking Schneider, a prospect whose name I can't remember, and a 1st and 2nd round pick for Rick Nash.

Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 I'm thinking an end of the Thornton/Marleau era in San Jose. Rebuild around Couture, kind of like Philly did with Giroux, and whomever they get in return for Thornton/Marleau. (Nash maybe?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see Columbus taking that deal. Nash is grossly overpaid for his production but playing alongside the Sedins would instantly allow him to put silly numbers up. Perry to Detroit Perry + 2 1sts for Kindl and a pair of Wings seasons tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey13Playa 240 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 I predict a ton of repetitive threads until July 1. I agree with you. Little overbearing right now with all these "realistic" or "crazy" or "most likely to happen" threads about all the free agents and trades. Just need a big thread for all this off season talk. Oh well I guess! Side note, to comment on the actual thread I don't really see any of that happening besides AV going to coach in Montreal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 I predict a ton of repetitive threads until July 1. And, because the Wings are done so early, there will be an extra month of these types of threads. Joy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
