Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) There have been talks about sending Tootoo back to Nashville to free up some cap space and help the log jam at the forward position. The article also talks about the Red Wings interest in Torontos Cody Fransen on defense. http://www.foxsportsdetroit.com/nhl/detroit-red-wings/story/Tootoo-back-to-Nashville?blockID=924101&feedID=3804 Edited July 28, 2013 by Datsyukian-Deke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I don't see them getting a d. They don't need to shed cap space either. Once they drop 2 guys they'll be ok Edited July 28, 2013 by DickieDunn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if we have had talks about sending Tootoo back to Nashville. Franson rumor is, well, interesting. He did have a pretty decent season last year all things considering... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 I think somewhere like Phoenix, Carolina, Washington or even Winnipeg would make more sense. Nashville has like 14 forwards, and Clune/Hendricks address their "enforcer" role. As far as Franson, I can't see Toronto moving him to a divisional rival. Not to mention, Quincey would probably be the most likely candidate to be moved the other way and I'm not sure why Toronto would want him over Franson.

Not to mention, Quincey would probably be the most likely candidate to be moved the other way and I'm not sure why Toronto would want him over Franson. To get Franson it would most likely look like Quincey, a mid level prospect (ferraro, Sheenan), and a mid level pick. They get quincey for a year to mitigate the loss of Franson and then their prospect and pick. But I don't see Detroit ever going through with that because their goal is to get rid of excess forwards which would not be accomplished in that trade.

ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted July 29, 2013 Of course we should keep Sammy who couldn't stay healthy at all last season and pay him $3 mill. While we get rid of any actual muscle we have, going into a more physical division. I hope these are only rumors. 2 Wingsfan72 and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
