VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 He might not be off the mark, though. The Oilers have been the Other Team mentioned since day one. And his reasons are compelling. They should be good soon, and a young player could be sold on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Euro_Twins 4,485 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 He might not be off the mark, though. The Oilers have been the Other Team mentioned since day one. And his reasons are compelling. They should be good soon, and a young player could be sold on that. Maybe, if the cap doesn't break the whole team apart before they are good. My point is, if you are going to write an article talking about two teams that are front runners for a free agent, talk about the pros and cons of both teams, don't just be a homer and talk abouthow great your favourite team is and mention like 2 sentences about the other team 1 ogreslayer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt198913 932 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 Getting to crunch time. I want him as much as anybody. Be just provides insurance in case Holland decides to put on his finishing tie and get a deal done Colo to GR for conditioning according to J KHAN!!!!

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 I figured if he hadn't announced by Wednesday, he was going with someone other than the Wings. He wouldn't keep others waiting that long only to sign with the obvious. The question is who did he decide on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 George Malik mentioned that technically, DeKeyser has until the trade deadline to make his decision and still play this season... So there's always a chance we might still have to wait awhile to find out his decision... 1 wingsfan4795 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travis 576 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 Kukla's Korner suggested last night that Holland stayed in the Midwest instead of joining the team after his pitch to Dekeyser. LET THE RAMPANT SPECULATION BEG... err continue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilzyme 769 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 I can only hope he's simply calling teams right now and allowing them to hear from him first that they are not going to get him. Otherwise, it's bad on his agency to announce he will have a decision by noon and not have anything announced or any information pending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So there's always a chance we might still have to wait awhile to find out his decision... Yet if he actually wants to play this season he should realize the earlier he decides the better. Will need time to adapt to a new system not to mention the speed and tempo of the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 The latest reports are saying he will be making his decision sometime today. Hard to get our hopes up just yet. But hopefully his Michigan-ties and him growing up a Wings fan (and his favorite all time player was Lidstrom) will be enough to sway him our way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serratoni 49 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 I'm hearing on twitter that his decision will come within yet another 30 minutes (12:20 pm as I write this). I can't believe that the wait is a good sign for Detroit. Not buying the "Iginla hoopla" excuse. Why so conflicted Danny? social media has ruined sports.

Son of a Wing 1,644 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 I'm hoping it's his agent (Meehan) trying to drum up as much attention as possible. Otherwise I don't understand the delay if he is in fact choosing Detroit. 1 Serratoni reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MibJab 4 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 Says the guy posting on a sports forum on teh interwebs. i meant it in a way that he went from being a college player turning pro, to Nick Lidstrom in a matter of a few days. The only issue is that he hasn't even stepped on pro ice yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilzyme 769 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 Hardcore Hockey Talk @HChockeytalk 16 m I'm hearing that a decision may be happening in the next 30 minutes from the #DeKeyser Camp. My bet is still on the #RedWings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Son of a Wing 1,644 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 Why?! Why do I hope that? Because otherwise I don't see how the delay would be in Detroit's favor as far as landing him. Why would his agent do that? I don't know it gets people talking and gets his name out there. Just take a look at how many articles have been written in the media about the guy in the last couple days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
