Message to Ken Holland from the fans…

We want a strong defense!

Ryan Suter (NAS)





Jason Garrison (FLA)





Shea Weber (NAS) Whatever it takes ethically…

Weber isn't worth it this offseason

[Crymson]

Are you sure you aren't Richdg?

[Dimaline312000]

Suter and Garrison maybe but not Weber.

[kipwinger]

Pretty sure that the Wings already know they need a couple of defensemen. However, if you're inflexible about it and only want the three guys you've listed above, then you're going to be disappointed. There are plenty of talented defensemen out there though, so we'll be ok.

[Johnz96]

Salvadore?

[luvmnger]

Suter and Garrison maybe but not Weber.

i'll second that ...and up the ante with a schultz signing.

[Hockey13Playa]

No way!!!! Red wings fans want these guys?!?! Since when? I am just so baffled right now; absolutely speechless!

[Dabura]

*obligatory Girardi mention*

[MabusIncarnate]

I'm officially enlightened, I had no idea we needed defense. Thanks for the clarification OP!

That's pretty sweet we can buyout Kindl for $8,000

[MabusIncarnate]

That's not what you originally posted about, Garrison isn't even in your D lines.

[Dabura]

I would trade Parise for Girardi straight-up.

I also enjoy fruit smoothies and long walks on the beach.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious! I think you deserve an award! Would you like a cookie or a clown sticker?

I like our chances a lot if we can play 5 lines a game! Wouldn't we need to balance it out with 4 defensive lines though?

[Z Winged Dangler]

Thanks for pointing out the obvious! I think you deserve an award! Would you like a cookie or a clown sticker?

in all seriousness though, Weber will sign with Nashville cause no team in the cap era not named the Leafs wants to deal away 3 years of 1st rounders. Suter however already stated he will be going on the FA market. Nashville will return to obscurity next year, but hey, they still have Fisher and Underwood...

[MrBest7]

Thanks for pointing out the obvious! I think you deserve an award! Would you like a cookie or a clown sticker?

Trust me... The Red Wings offer $8.5 million and 3 first round picks... Shea Weber is ours.
Give Ryan Suter a long-term 6 million deal with his best friend Zach Parise... Ryan Suter is ours.

This is the recipe for more Stanley Cups...


Look at our past roster...it's filled with 2nd to 10th round picks. The Red Wings know how to draft in later rounds.

Kris Draper for a dollar from Winnipeg!
Kirk Maltby a trade with Edmonton in '95 for defenseman Dan McGillis! WHO IS DAN McGILLIS!!!!
Vladimir Konstantinov 1989: 11th round, (221st overall)
Sergei Fedorov 1989 - 4th round (74th overall)
Keith Primeau to Hartford for Brendan Shanahan!
Nick Lidstrom 1989 - 3rd round (53rd overall)
Slava Kozlov 1990 - 2nd round (45th overall)
Bob Probert 1983 - 3rd (46th overall)
Joe Kocur 1983 - 5th Round, (88th overall)
Johan Franzen 2004 - 3rd round (97th overall)
Darren Helm 2005 - 5th round (132nd overall)
Pavel Datsyuk1998 - 6th round (171st overall)
Valtteri Filppula 2002 - 3rd round (95th overall)
Tomas Holmstrom 1994 - 10th round (257th overall)
Henrik Zetterberg 1999 - 7th round (210th overall)
Jonathan Ericsson 2002 - 9th Round, (291st overall)
Chris Osgood 1991 - 3rd round (54th overall)
Jimmy Howard 2003 - 2nd Rnd, (64th overall)


The best move was, LARRY MURPHY 1997 Trade for "future considerations." Murphy was essentially run out of town by Leafs faithful unimpressed with his
defensive play. Detroit gave up nothing to get the future Hall of Famer - the Leafs even paid some of Murphy’s salary - but the move paid off big time for the
Red Wings, who went on to win the Stanley Cup that year and the next.

No silly... the fifth line on the list would not dress unless there were an injury.
