13dangledangle 952 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 If this has to be merged feel free I couldn't really see a spot for it, yet it could have gone anywhere...But seriously are the Wings in on Semin or not, I saw on Semins twitter that he had a contract announcement to make but nothing since. In the end I don't really care who it is as long as if feels like were trying to do something, but I do feel Semin would be dyno with Dats... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 if we give him 4 years at a low cap hit we can at least trade him to like dallas or florida at some point. we didn't give up assets for him. cap space isn't going anywhere else at this point. 2 pondrocket and Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 as long as he doesn't have a ntc we are okay giving him 4 years. a team trying to make the cap floor would take him on. 1 pondrocket reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaman 713 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 I'd take Semin for 4 years 20 million. Very fair for a player with 40 goal potential. 3 hooon, IILeiBlazeII and Uncle Danny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcaractac 3,960 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 I think Semin for 4 years at a decent cap hit is a better option than 98 million for 13 years for Parise. If Semin didn't pan out in Detroit, there are teams that would take him on in a trade if the term isn't too crazy. Low risk, high reward IMO. I think him playing with Datsyuk would be great. If not, trade him toa team who needs to hit the cap floor in the off season and get assests for him. At least signing Semin would leave the Wings with their own assets to trade for a d man. 1 pondrocket reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyquistfan14 489 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Who cares about 4 years. The guys one of the most talented players in the NHL! Give him 4 years 6-6.5 mill per and call it a day. It's free agency your gonna have to overpay to get. There's no way we should be thinking trade for Nash or Ryan we need d-man like enstrom, and yandle. Just get it done Kenny and stop wasting cap space by not using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salviaman 104 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 4 years 20 million sounds good to me. I think we should bring him in soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Pitt only offered $4.5 m x 4 years? We could, and should beat that. Do it, Kenny. Not a huge fan of Semin, but I do believe Datsyuk could change things around. And with the state of our D right now, we're going to need all the offense we can get. Not to mention its better to add than trade assets for different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YougotDatsyuked 24 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 I could stomach 4@20. Worst case scenario is we have to floaters that when motivated can score a lot of goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 I'm not opposed to this, but I'd feel better if we were talking about a defenseman right now. We have forwards coming out of places where forwards have no business being in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YougotDatsyuked 24 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Could be good, but really we need Defense bad, I hope it's not the only things we're looking into. I am sure it isn't but with close to 17mil to spend 5 a year isn't much plus there aren't any dmen out there in fa that are going to cost a lot. Any top 4 is gonna have to come through trade which will be close to no change in cap space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyquistfan14 489 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Could be good, but really we need Defense bad, I hope it's not the only things we're looking into. This is why we need to add forwards via free agency and d-men through trades. I think we have to get semin or this season is gonna be a complete wash!

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Ya get it done 4YRS@20M.... Semin is probably motivated to play with Datsyuk just as much as Malkin though. Tough competition with the Pens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,915 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Yesss. I want semin with Pav so bad. I'd take him over parise Well, you don't have a choice now do you? I would say Detroit has a very good shot at Semin....but I haven't heard anything going on with Holland for 24 hours now....what is up I wonder? I know he has to wait until the 9th for Doan to decide...sure glad he wants to come here! Doan and Semin FTW! BTW, if Semin signs here and stays healthy, he will outscore Parise....hell he nearly did last year...Semin had .7 PPG and Parise had .8 PPG... I would call Semin at $4M a hell of a steal compared to Parise at $7.5M... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 He gets a bad rap... but I think he's a more solid hockey player than most and Datsyuk and him had great chemistry at the Worlds... Sign him up 5 years @ 5.5 cap hit per. I bet he just wants term over money right now (security). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 I have faith that Datsyuk will change his attitude, if not in the long-term, at least immediately in his first few seasons, which is what we need: scoring until the defense gets fixed. Skeptical about Semin, but with Pavel, anything is pasha-ble (get it?) 2 55fan and HockeytownUW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
