RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 So, the big news here locally is that the Canucks are going to press 'reset' ... whatever that means. There is cry for any and everyone including trade the Sedins. Just wondering if you guys think there is anyone here that might be able to solidify the Wings next year? Only possibility might be Edler or Burrows. Edler - Swedish, maybe he can do well in our system? Burrows is a feisty forward No to Booth, Raymond, Ballard, Bieska.

Guest irishock Report post Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) I'd do Howard, Datsyuk and Nyquist for Kesler, Burrows, Edler and Luongo--- assuming Pavel doesn't re-sign Would be an NBA-type trade but hey Edited May 12, 2013 by irishock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Ryan Kesler? Him Fil and Franzen on a line could be a sick second line. I assumed Kesler and the twins would be untouchable. I'd do Howard, Datsyuk and Nyquist for Kesler, Burrows, Edler and Luongo--- assuming Pavel doesn't re-sign Would be an NBA-type trade but hey Really? I don't think I would. I want Dats to retire a Red Wing ... couldn't handle seeing him in another uniform. I'd try to get him to sign a short extension 2-3 years if he wants to play a little longer. But even if we don't get a single thing back for not trading him if he decides to retire in 2014, I still wouldn't pull the trigger on him. He is too fun to watch.

Guest irishock Report post Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Really ... I don't think I would. I want Dats to retire a Red Wing ... couldn't stand to see him in another uniform. Even if we don't get a single thing back for not trading him if he chooses to play one more and retire. Best case scenario would be Pavel re-signing for 3 years. We'd have 4 more chances at Stanley Cup #12 before a legitimate rebuild. I just can't imagine the current core of Z, Kronwall and Howard-- sans Datsyuk-- winning a playoff series.

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Kassian please. Would give us an added dimension on the 4th line. And he's only 22. 3 Dabura, marcaractac and Wingsfan72 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Alex Edler would top my list assuming the ginger twins are untouchable. Ballard isn't half bad.. considering how much he sacrifices his body to block shots and plays a physical game. Really would like to see a full season out of our rooks first though before bringing in a ton of D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingsfan4795 552 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Wouldn't be a trade but Roy would be nice. He's small which is a major downside, but he's also a pure sniper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilmrt 636 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Elder and Kassian. Top pairing D-man added to what we already have and the Wings D will be formidable for years!! Kassian for much needed grit. Holland would be done after just those two moves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 I'd take Kesler. He would add speed to this team that it desperately lacks, and he isn't a floater. I wish Manny Malhotra was still playing. Having him center the 4th line would be a nice addition for solid checking and defense if nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings4Life19 150 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Kesler would be the only one I'd take but I have a feeling the Canucks won't be getting rid of anyone if the rumors of what they were wanting for Loungo are true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 I watch those jokers all the time and there is no one on that team I want as a red wing. Kessler dividedthe locker room this year and he is too much of a weirdo to be on the wings. They all have piss poor attitudes and don't have enough class. There is a reason they got swept this year. 2 Hockeymom1960 and Ally reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

number9 3,297 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Edler and Kassian is about all I'd be interested in. Problem is Edler is the keystone to their blue line and they're unlikely to move him, and Kassian is young and part of their reset, so also unlikely to be moved. I'd entertain Bieksa though.

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 1. CLOUTIER LAUGHS 2. Won't be many changes. Or, at least, not nearly as many as most fans seem to be expecting. They have a pretty good team. 3. Luongo to Philly for Briere et al. 4. Kassian FTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Edler would be my top choice but they not going to move him. Bieksa with DeKe or Smith sounds nice. Kessler as a 2nd line center instead of Flip anytime. Kassian would be a huge addition for bottom six lineups... could end up playing on the top two lines just like Kader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Greek 323 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 I don't get all the kesler love. It seems like he makes an ass of himself every time we play the 'nucks. I remember him saying something to the tune of kronwall should have to fight if he's going to be throwing big hits. Keep in mind, he even said that the hit wasn't dirty, but kronwall should answer for it anyway. Plus, kesler said he was an avalanche fan, living in livonia. We all remember those kids from school, they were little d-bags. 6 Z Winged Dangler, T.Low, number9 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Definitely Edler. I was hoping he made it to free agency this summer. Kronwall - Ericsson Edler - DeKeyser Kindl - Smith Amnesty Quincey. Still have Lashoff and Colaiacovo for depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
