achildr1 255 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Vanek, Pominville, Yandle, and Gaborik are all available. But you're not going to get a sniff of any of them if you start by saying "I'm not going to trade any top prospects or my first round pick". You know what's crazy, when you add a "dynamic" player to your team it tends to change the team's...dynamic. Strange I know, but doesn't anyone else feel like even a lateral move might be worthwhile here considering our current core doesn't seem capable of getting anything done? I really think getting rid of Franzen would change the dynamic. I jist want to watch the Wings bring it like they care everynight...even if we're not as good. I'm tired of the same old, same old garbage. 1 sjr2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Bad move by Stevie, do they really want another young unproven starter. Then they give up Conacher!? Bad trade. Tampa now has two unproven goaltenders and just lost a very good prospect, if you are willing to deal Conacher why not add a 2 and another prospect and try to get a great goaltender? WoW Stevie dropped the ball here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carman 387 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 ya I know, but seriously kenny dropped the ball on this one, I would have been willing to give up Mrazek for Conacher no problem yeaa no. I like Conacher, but he's a small, speedy guy. Not exactly what we need in our top 6. Especially when Mrazek can be used for a more proven top 6 guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then what...tell Howard to hit the door? Mrazek could probably be better than Howard and Bishop. I bet if Holland were actually willing to trade Mrazek we could get a piece we actually need.

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Ouch Stevie. Ouch. Bishop is promising.. but for Conacher?? Ottawa has Lehner so Bishop was expendable.. this return was the best they could have hoped for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alienanxiety 23 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) I, for one, am glad Kenny wouldn't accept getting ripped off and paying double what something is worth. Well if those are the going rates around the league, then I guess it's not double what they're worth. The market dictates what players are worth. It seems Mr. Holland wants to play in 2003's market and not 2013's. Yet another example of how he is past his prime.

I bet if Holland were actually willing to trade Mrazek we could get a piece we actually need. tell howard to hit the door? Howard is with us for some time, Mrazek won't even figure into any plans for at least 5 years, so ya for the right price I would say trade him, only for the right price, and I think Conacher could be that piece Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeytownRules19 902 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 As much as I want him to make an impact trade... Kenny is doing it right. You don't make a trade just to make a trade... If he feels like he is being fleeced, don't do it. Kenny doesn't have 4 cups under his belt as a GM for being stupid. I'm as frustrated as the next, but in a shortened season where we are down, why make a move when you don't have to. 2 Namingway and ben_usmc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
