joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I'd rather have Yandle than Suter. He's signed for 5 more years at just over 5M. He's high scoring offensive defensemen and he hasn't missed a game in 3 years. Go all out for him and you could even sign Carle as well. Than go hard for Doan or Semin Edited July 4, 2012 by joesuffP 1 cupforwings reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 I wish I knew what Holland was thinking. If he can somehow swing Yandle over here we are in great shape and I would be ecstatic that we never signed Suter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 didnt winnipeg wanna trade bogosian at one point??? if its possible might be worth a crack hes just about to turn 22 he might be able to become to defensemen everyone thought he would be in detroit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 Well, he's said he's going to make a hard push for Doan on the 9th. So that much we know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 Yandle, Ryan and Nash should be on Kenny's radar. Seriously bummed about today but it might be a blessing indisguise. Time will tell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 holland said this??? I recall someone quoting a credible source as saying that if he lost the Parise sweepstakes (or was it Suter? Or was it both? Don't remember), he'd push very hard for Doan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brett 1,029 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 not sure how doan will help our defense but ok dont forget we have joey mac to sweeten a trade deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 Doan won't come here. If he leaves Pheonix, it will be for a run at the cup. I'd say that's why he's waiting. To see who's the most appealing when the dust settles, as it has today. Wings are too far off from a cup run to attract Doan. 1 pondrocket reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 If we get Yandle at some point then today was a blessing. Much more reasonable contract for a better defensemen that fits our needs better. I say do whatever it takes to get this guy we need him. Than next year get Weber and our D is seriously stacked. Weber-Yandle Kronwall-Ericsson Smith-Quincey.........Damn! 1 pondrocket reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 not sure how doan will help our defense but ok dont forget we have joey mac to sweeten a trade deal Fact is, we need help in our top-4 and in our top-6. The former's obviously the priority, but, well, yeah. Doan won't come here. If he leaves Pheonix, it will be for a run at the cup. I'd say that's why he's waiting. To see who's the most appealing when the dust settles, as it has today. Wings are too far off from a cup run to attract Doan. Fully agree. Just saying, Kenny's apparently gonna make a good pitch.
