nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 seriously guys,don't freak out here. Parise and Suter were both grossly overpaid. We are lucky to have lost this battle. A trade for Nash would be the best thing possible at this juncture. Frantzen,Tatar,and a couple of firsts? Really, D men are priority one. Don't overpay for Carle, better to trade for someone at this point. its too bad we cant make a big deal for weber and then sign him longterm ... in the end nashville will lose weber for nothing like suter if poile doesnt do something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BottleOfSmoke 5,965 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 I'm in for Yandle and Ryan, but am afraid to think of what it would take to get both in a trade. I have no qualms about sending Franzen on his way, but I would really like to hold on to Flip and would be bummed to see him go. I've avoided posting throughout all this free agent drama because I found myself thinking like a spoiled brat, but to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I don't understand their decisions, but I don't think it's the end of the world either. I'm excited to see what Kenny's gonna pull out of his ass to fix this, I just hope it's a big enough move to keep us in contention... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian_Yzerman_Fan 7 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 Anyone else think that giving up very little to trade for someone that's a short term cap nightmare might make sense? i.e. Patrick Marleau - 2 more years at 6.9M Can you think of any others like this?

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 we HAVE to sign Semin at this point so we can trade some of our other pieces. Franzen and Fil are the only thing of value other than our young guys nyquist and smith. Stastny, 2 yrs at 6.6 leaves colorado shallow in the top 2 centre department with only matty d.

SpiritFan 37 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 1st & foremost, we need a solid d-man with experience. Trading for Yandle would be ideal, Weber would be awesome but there's no way Nashville lets him get away now that Suter is gone. Matt Carle would be ok. Carlo Colaiacovo would be ok for a bottom pair player at low money, Pavel Kubina, although slow, is also a bigger body & can put up numbers & could be a good short term fill in. P.K. Subban is a RFA, and Montreal has been loading up with other playedrs, not to mention the personal problems he's had with teammates there, maybe we could make an offer for him. Not likely in a million years, but an idea. And since I am being completely "fantasy world" about this, Washington could use a big Franzen type guy... what would it take to land Mike Green (who is a RFA)? As for forwards, sure, Nash would be awesome, but I think Ryan is more realistic, and I like him just as much. But what would we give up to get, say Yandle (or Green) & Ryan? You have to give to get... do we give up Franzen, Flip & a bunch of prospects & picks for two guys? I just don't see Holland wanting to move Flip. My gut tells me there may be a move for a D-man like Yandle, and a free agent signing like Semin, even though I don't think Semin is high on the Wings wish list. But pickin's are getting slim!!!

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I think we have to thin out our forwards and trade for some quality Dmen. We can sign Semin and Mueller to replace some forward depth in the long run. We also have Tatar in the wings with Jarnkrok being ready next season hopefully. Here's what I'd do: Franzen, Cleary, Kindl, 2nd for Mike Green (RFA) Filppula, White, 1st for Keith Yandle Then our D looks like: Yandle - Green Kronwall - Ericsson Smith - Quincey Not bad and you could even put Carle in for Quincey if you like. Thats a good young D corps that is one Shea Weber away from being the best in the league. Edited July 4, 2012 by dirtydangles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
