kipwinger 8,521 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 According to reports from the Free Press, Holland has been on the phone all day finalizing a deal on a defenseman who may play tonight. The details are vague, but they did say it was a "veteran" defenseman. Anybody wanna make some guesses. I'm going with Mike Commodore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,521 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Commmmon Lidstrom I'd start going to church. Unfortunately, they said he might play tonight, and unless lids can get from Sweden to Detroit in 9 hours, I'm guessing it's not him. Though I wouldn't doubt that if he wanted it done, Illitch would charter a Concord if it meant getting Lidstrom back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,521 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Pavel Kubina? This wouldn't surprise me. Some old, mediocre, hack to fill in for our young, mediocre, hacks. I realize that this is a stop gap measure, but I wish Holland would stop being so reluctant to lose talent and take a chance on a legit trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feel free to insert the name of whatever really really fast jet is in service, and then reread my post and the mysterious point I was trying to make will reveal itself. 4 Marxx71, SaCkaveli20, FireCaptain and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickey Redmond 15 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 @TPLhockey: Can't be Lilja. He's under contract. Holland said he filed UFA paperwork with the league. Lilja doesn't fit. Lebda does. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoobiedoobin 138 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Remember when people tracked the plane for Suter? Maybe check out where it could be going this time. And if it's not in the air, the player can't be more than a few hours away. ....I get bored before work. ....................Hell I get bored at work.

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Ansar KHAAAAAN!!! also tweeted about it this morning... Ken Holland tells MLive he ow working to sign a veteran D for tonight's game. "Been on phone for couple hours" he said. And Bob Duff with the Windsor Star tweeted a short list of available defensemen... Some available UFA D - Chris Campoli, Mark Eaton. Brett Clark signed with OKC #AHL; Jurcina, Kubina in Europe. #redwings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilzyme 769 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Some one get up a list of the UFA Dmen... lol it doesn't need to be a UFA, Holland could very well be dishing out pieces that are causing logjams at the front end. Ofcourse it's going to be fkn Lebda... Holland just LOVES giving chances Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoobiedoobin 138 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 My guess is either Kubina or Lilja.Ansar KHAAAAAN!!! also tweeted about it this morning... I thought I heard Kubina was playing in the Czech league, unless he can escape that contract. I'm not sure how those rules work but that'd be a hell of a trip. Czech to USA in 9 hours and be ready for a game? That'd be bananas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
