hillbillywingsfan 792 Report post Posted January 28, 2013 Yes, because the Red Wings have had such an unlucky history when it comes to the draft. Yeah you got us there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Axe Report post Posted January 28, 2013 I would agree. Forgive my ignorance on Yandle for I don't watch any Yotes games (other than when they face the Red Wings); what in your opinion would be going the other way if a trade were to take place? If I remember correctly there was some sort of "twist" to the upcoming draft... It would be our luck though; have a horrible season only to have someone like the Oilers, Jackets, or Pens manage to pick ahead of us, and get the star player that was destined to become a Red Wing I would think that Flip and Kindl + a few 1st rounders would be a likely package.

Euro_Twins 4,476 Report post Posted January 28, 2013 As much as I like that pairing I would like to see the Wings get another top-2 D-Man. We have around $19 Million freed up with 15 guys signed for next year even though we are going to need to re-sign Howard for sure and if Brunner keeps it up he will need to be re-signed. Flip, Brunner, White, Smith, Lashoff, Howie, and Nyquist all need to be signed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) People keep saying if we tank we'll get Jones. I was under the impression with the lockout shortened season they are doing a lottery draft for the 14 teams that don't make the playoffs to stop teams from tanking late in the season to get the top picks Hey, we aren't trying to tank we just are tanking.

Guest irishock Report post Posted January 29, 2013 man I miss Brian Rafalski. He was always ragged on a lot while he was here but he was a great #2 and put up the points... Even Lidstrom missed him during last season. The offense and PP just wasn't the same after he left. White did do a good job during the start of the season but eventually cooled off.
