Diluvian04 11 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) I thought this might be fun to try and predict where players are gonna land and see who is right. We can even predict their salary too if you would like. I figure if Eklund can do it so can we. I'll say that...Matt Carle winds up in Tampa Bay for 5.5 Million Jokinen ends up in Carolina for 4 Million Gaustad will go to San Jose because they need that faceoff guy for 2.5 Million. I just picked a few guys so it doesn't matter who you pick. It's the Eklund game. Edited June 30, 2012 by Diluvian04 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seraph 240 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Suter will be in Detroit. Too much is riding on that signing for Holland to let it slip away. He'll get good money to play for an original six team where he'll be stepping into a pivotal role with the potential of developing into a leader. Isn't that what these guys dream about? Weren't we one of the top if not number one on the list of teams NHL players wanted to play for? We've got the money now so let's hope we have a good week. Merry July 1st eve everyone.

Dabura 12,205 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 I really don't see Parise going to the Pens. Shero: "Hey, Zach, Shero-Dawg here. Listen, we lost Jordan Staal Between you and me [*WINK*], he made Sid and Geno - and, in turn, our whole team - look much better than they/it are/is. How'd you like to make Sid and/or Geno look good for the next ten years? Oh, by the way, have I mentioned we don't play defense? Oh, and that meltdown against Philly? They poisoned our water. We're way more mature than that - as a team, as an organization, and as a family. OK, I gotta go take a dump. hollaback!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pondrocket 35 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 This is Christmas Eve for me. Here is where we truly see if Holland has it or if he has jumped the shark! I am hopeful! What about Draper as the new assistant coach?? Parise - Pens Suter - Detroit Semin - Detroit Schultz - Edmonton Whiteny - Carolina Jagr - Detroit Doan - Phoenix Carle - Anaheim or Detroit if Holland fails to get Sutter Hudler - Senators Brodeur - New Jersey Ryan Smyth - Edmonton Kostitsyn - Minnesota Prust - Detroit Gaustad - Buffalo Penner - Los Angeles Tootoo - Ottawa Samuelson -Det (Holland can't help himself) 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) To Detroit - suter, gaustad, and hopefully semin.. Also, if huds goes to LA itd be cool if we could pick up penner. Won't be upset if we dont though. We're getting suter and this says why perfectly.... Suter will be in Detroit. Too much is riding on that signing for Holland to let it slip away. He'll get good money to play for an original six team where he'll be stepping into a pivotal role with the potential of developing into a leader. Isn't that what these guys dream about? Weren't we one of the top if not number one on the list of teams NHL players wanted to play for? We've got the money now so let's hope we have a good week. Merry July 1st eve everyone. As for everyone else, a couple that come to mind is.. Brodeur to Tampa Parise stays in jersey. I know there are money issues but I think they'll figure it out. Just have a feeling he's not going anywhere. Bobby Ryan to Philly Huds to Ottawa just sounds right for some reason. Carle to the avs Also, I think the wings sign "the monster" as a backup goalie.. Edit: also think the avs might pick up P.A. Edited June 30, 2012 by amato Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,914 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 I am gonna say Suter/Doan/Prust/Meuller/Garrison/Montoya - Detroit... everyone else I could care less about because nobody will be able to touch us after we acquire Nash to go along with those UFA's! 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,205 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 To Detroit - suter, gaustad, and hopefully semin.. Sounds about right, IMHO - though I'd change Semin to Parise, because I think we have as good a shot as any club with him, and I don't really like the idea of hoping for Semin. Also, I think the wings sign "the monster" as a backup goalie.. Smokie?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wingydingy19 7 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Realistically, I don't think the wings will sign that many players. I'm thinking Suter and Prust. I'd love the likes of a parise/semin/doan but I just don't see Kenny adding that many players. Just my opinion tho, I hope I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivalred 630 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Wonder if the words "I like the team we have currently" and "we can always add at the trade deadline" will be spoken from Holland tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,914 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Well wingydingy....they need to sign 2 forwards and 2 defensmen. If they give Brunner that spot, then yes one forward, but you better believe it will be a top 6 rather than a bottom 6. 2 defensmen, sure they have Quincey as a RFA, but dump him and get Suter & Garrison...That will bring them to 23 players. When and if they keep Abby, someone (Emmerton or Mursak) will be bumped out. May as well go for Doan too and bump both of them or trade them in a package or just for some draft pick depth.... Wonder if the words "I like the team we have currently" and "we can always add at the trade deadline" will be spoken from Holland tomorrow <SLAP> You watch your mouth! 2 Hey man nice shot! and Wingsfan72 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wingydingy19 7 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Ya leftwinger, I'm with ya but that's what we hope will happen! I'm just saying you might not see that pan out just because it makes sense to us.

EastonWings 2 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Seems it will be hard to land parise and suter together with the pens freeing up money to make a push for them. My fear is parise being really good friends with Crosby and suter and parise stating they wanna play together. we may end up with neither. If that's the the case then Kenny not making any moves at the deadline will haunt us. Were down two defensman and were not guaranteed we'll get the best one on the market with other teams interested and throwing them dollars. If we lose out on suter and parise. We need to go second tier and build on the fly. That means semin,garrison,carle, save that money and make a run at weber since he will most likely test the waters next season. Hopefully our team being almost all euros will not detour these north American stars fron signing with our team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
