Euro_Twins 4,475 Report post Posted January 30, 2014 he is a former 1st round pick who will be a ufa at the end of the year i guess Tallon is trying to get something for him before he walks. He is a good skater with a good outlet first pass. His style could be better suited to our game than that of the Panthers. Compare his year so far to Quinceys, and you can make your own decision on who'd you sooner have. He would be an rfa. They would get draft picks if he signs an offer sheet with someone else and Florida doesn't match. Obviously Florida is trying to get more then a couple picks for him though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robb himself 143 Report post Posted January 30, 2014 looks like the Wings are after Gilbert and Boyes, Kindl ,Andersson and a prospect going the other way? I kinda like the sound of that. Where did you hear this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadgerBob 297 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 I might be biased, since he's a badger but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing Gilbert here. Was pretty decent for the Oilers, not too impressive with Minnesota, although he spent the majority of his first year injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 I'm not a huge Gilbert fan, but he's having a good season statistically this year with Florida. Boyes? He's worked well with Johnny T, but something tells me they want him for his shootout prowess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Are you seriously asking for an all Panther line? Fleishmann hasn't been good this year, maybe he needs a change of scenery, but that's a lot of money for a guy who's having a down year tied up next year. I'm not all that enamored with Gilbert either. I'd much rather trade Kindl and a prospect for a better d-man and skip Boyes and Fleischmann. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PumpkinEscobar 136 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Don't want anyone that used to be on the Wings...I'd be fine with Gilbert and Boyes for the right price. I don't see Holland giving up his 1st rounder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
