Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted August 12, 2012 during the pre playoff trade window the Wings were interested in getting Kubina on board. Mainly for his exp and his right hand shooting. Yet i dont think he has been mentioned at all this off-season. More to the point i dont think he has been linked with any other team? Has he a deal on the table and is off the market per say? If Kenny could somehow get him and J-Bow in on a trade then maybe it dont look so bad. I'm not down on our D at present as i think that if all the guys we have perform to their ability then we have a stong looking 6. The points will be spread about more this year and i really do think that if Smith is given the mins he will florish and end up our top point D man, yes even more than Nic jnr will get. The only thing is if we got both in then 1 of the 6 we have will have to go. The potential i could see is that White could go back to the Flames in a deal for J-Bow, which leaves us with no R/H on the blueline, unless Kubina signs that is. We would have a very big D corps if this happened thou. Kronwall 6' 190lb J-Bow 6'4" 212lb Big E 6'5" 220lb Quinc 6'2" 205lb Smiffy 6'1" 198lb Kubina 6'4" 243lb Jakub 6'3" 201lb Ian 5'10" 201lb.

number9 3,297 Report post Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Kubina and Rozival are in Prague having drinks and laughing there asses off right now.....with Lilja, Meszaros, and Prongers out, and Carle gone, you better believe Philly wants Kubina back badly.....Then there's us needing depth D-man....If I was one them I'd be charging arms and legs right now, their services are in demand....probably why no one has signed them yet, them and the teams are holding out for the best price. Seems like everyday more surgeries and injuries are being announced, and every time that happens they can up their price tag. Really hope we bring one of them in though....Holmgrens probably willing to spend more than Ken though. Edited August 13, 2012 by number9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah unfortunately we aren't the most desperate team for a defensemen anymore, and I get the feeling Philly will match/beat any offers we throw out towards who's left. They are in serious trouble right now. I'd rather have White over Bouwmeester personally, so i'm not in agreement for sending him to Calgary for JBo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 I've been calling kubina since the wings missed out on suter.. I think he'd be a decent fit for the bottom pairing. If we enter the season with something like this, I'd be fine with that.. Kronner-white Quincey-smith Ericsson-kubina Then, I see us waiting til the deadline to trade for a solid top 4 d man.
