DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted March 7, 2014 No good defensemen were moved, and they were all rentals. The only reason they traded for Legwand even though he isn't signed next year is because they were desperate for a center, more than a d-man even, and him waiving his NTC to come here and the fact that he's from Detroit and grew up a Wings fan should mean they can extend him if they want to. Vanek or Moulson are probably going to test the market no matter what, and they don't play center, so they weren't options. 1 marcaractac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amato 3,210 Report post Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I think legwand looked pretty solid. Give him a few more games to get used to the style of play/constant line shuffling and he'll gel nicely with the team me thinks. Not saying he's our saving grace but he seems to be pretty underrated around here.. I'm not upset with the trade at all.

Dabura 12,206 Report post Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Quick! Learn the difference between opinion and fact. Your statement "btw longterm future > streak" is opinion and one that the Red Wings management doesn't share. Happy Friday. Do we know that management believes streak > long-term future? I don't think bringing Legwand aboard necessarily means we're "all-in." I think what it boils down to is that we're in a good position to make the playoffs, but, suddenly, our top four or five centers are out. Point being, it'd be a shame to throw away the season (and, quite possibly, all the extra profit that comes with making the playoffs), unless we're absolutely head-over-heels for someone in the draft. As for me, I've accepted that the Legwand deal had to happen and that there's no way the Preds don't demand a crown jewel prospect, because they know how utterly desperate we are for Legwand's services. On a sort-of-related note, trade Helm this summer. It's time. Edited March 7, 2014 by Dabura 1 wings4thecup06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay and? Just because there are people less competent at their job than Holland has been in the last few years doesn't mean that Holland gets a pass. 2 pucktividi and nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The B's key players are either in mid/late 20's or early 30's except Chara so they somehow have that luxury to dangle their top prospects and overpay, unlike the Wings.
