Crashnburnluder 385 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) The first domino has fallen? Don't know all the details yet but Joe Morrow is the main piece going to Dallas. Don't think we really missed on him. I haven't been a huge fan of his and he has been hurt a lot lately so the health issues might be an issue.

Bryguy 103 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 If this is the price for Morrow I don't even wanna think about what it would cost to land Iginla, Jaybo, or Gaborik. Im actually ok with holland doing nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 Morrow has been one of my favorites for a long time. He's starting to age, and injuries have been a problem for a few years, but he still busts his ass every game. Sucks that he has to go a team like Pittsburgh. Good pickup for the Penguins if he can stay healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 *lol* if Jo Morrow is going to Dallas Pittsburgh got ripped off here. HFs Future has this to say about him FutureMorrow will compete for a spot with the Penguins in training camp but is almost assuredly headed to the Penguins AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where he'll work out the finer points of his game. He projects as a top-four defenseman who can contribute at both ends of the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 Nice pickup for them. But if Morrow got a top prospect and a draft pick, I wonder what the price for Iginla is now. Someone is going to have to massively overpay to acquire him now I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlashyG 1,799 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 Iginla next? Clowe? Semin? Let the games begin! Clowe would be my guess, Calgary will be looking for a ton back in exchange for Iginla and Semin isn't even available. The Canes are planning on signing him long term.

Someone is going to have to massively overpay to acquire him now I'd say. The fact that Pittsburgh got Dallas' 3rd round pick for their 5th makes me think that expiring contract will be considered to a reasonable extent. I mean really? I get that they got one of Pittsburgh's top prospects, but for all of the offense they have Dallas didn't at least get a roster player from them? Goligowski for Neal and Niskanen.

Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 I think that Dallas wins this one, even as soon as the next 2-3 years. Unless Brendan can help them grab a cup (take on a Guerin role), then I'm not sure it's worth it. Guess you have to get to give, though. I see Boston pushing hard after Clowe next, since they didn't land Morrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Sure the Pens got better...but only for now they've gotten way worse going forward. Their prospect now is Despres or whatever his name is, the big club only has Letang as an outstanding defenseman other than that the D is still their weakness. So giving up what they did for an injury prone playerwasn't the smartest thing to do in my eyes. for the Wings this will mean several things: 1. if these are the default prices I am even more happy the Wings aren't on Iginla's list 2. Filpula's value just rose to new dimension (1st + decent prospect + depth player) -> I like that a lot 3. given 1 I fully agree with Holland standing pat, trading away the future for shortterm help is not going to lead to the promised land.

Shaman 713 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Selling teams are losers. Detroit is a winner. Except Dallas has 2 more ROW than the Wings. Again, if Morrow is worth this much, than Flip, White, Cleary, Cola, etc could net the Wings a nucleus of players and picks to build a young team that can compete for many years to come.

Again, if Morrow is worth this much, than Flip, White, Cleary, Cola, etc could net the Wings a nucleus of players and picks to build a young team that can compete for many years to come. Exactly who would want White, Cleary, or Cola? And please don't invent reasons why they have some value. How little they'd be missed here is indication enough of how interested any competitive team would be in paying for them. Between losing Flip for nothing... Would rather get Jake Gardiner.... Yeah, I'm gonna be pissed if we lose Flip next offseason instead of trading him for Colorado's 1st and 2nd picks. (In other words, you're overestimating his value). 1 e_prime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
