Red Wings acquire Erik Cole, conditional 3rd from Stars

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Cole was just interviewed on NHL Network. Said he wasn't surprised he was traded, thinks his speed will fit in good with Wings transition game and will practice with Wings tomorrow.

Cole is arguably as good as Cleary?

Lol.

Zero credibility after saying that.

Why O Why isn't Brendan Smith nicknamed "Motor City Smitty"? I'd cut him some slack if this could catch on.

According to THN, the Leafs want Smith for Phaneuf...any takers?

In all aboard the Motor City Smitty train.

Also he biggest thing keeping me from wanting Phaneuf is that contract, so if Toronto is willing to eat a bunch of that change I'd make the trade. But I don't want Phaneuf's contract handcuffing the Wings down the road.

More evidence that Holland has lost it.

Petry was just traded for a 2nd and a conditional 5th to the Habs.

The type of player they were hoping to get, a basic upgrade on Alexi

Holland gives up two, players that could have at least added depth or grown in trade value AND a second for a player 10 years older who is arguably as good as Cleary when you have decent depth to begin with...

Not saying it was a damaging trade... it just is another example where another team is able to get more for less.

If you think either of the players KH traded away are worth a 2nd, I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn!

Both players combined might have got you the second rounder, maybe but I doubt it.

But like other's have said you lost credibility when comparing Cole to Cleary!

I'd be ok with giving up Smith for Phaneuf as long as salary were retained on their end

Do you guys saying Erik Cole is as good as clearly...clearly makes no sense. He has 30+ points on Dallas...a top tier team this year. Did anyone watch Dallas play the Redwings this year...Cole scored. He will get the puck to the net. In his prime... When he was on the Hurricanes...he was one of the few hurricanes the wings had to watch out for...that was 10+ years ago..Cole with Datsyuk...Nyquist..Abbie...Tatar...that puck will get to the net more.

Cole, 36, has 18 goals and 15 assists in 57 games. 36 and still has a high in ppm in the NHL.

Dallas isn't a top tier team this year, but Cole is a lot better than cleary.

I'm liking this trade more and more. I think he is going to mesh well and be rejuvenated in the Winged Wheel. I know he has a cup, but I'm still seeing a lot of parallels to Dallas Drake.

So, does the acquisition of Cole mean that we can get Helm off the top line? He's going to break into a million little pieces if they keep giving him that many minutes.

Tats-Dats-Abby

Z-Sheahan-Cole

Nquist-Weiss-Helm

Miller-Glen-Jurco

Please?

Not sure if it's already been posted here, but the team seemed to suggest he'll wind up with Z.

Ken Holland calls the trades to get Zidlicky and Cole more of depth moves. Mentioned Erik Cole playing on a line with Zetterberg. #Wings

And are Cleary and Cole REALLY being compared? Cole's scored more goals than Cleary's played this year.

People are just looking for ANY reason to be negative. Kenny makes two great trades for the first time in forever, and people still slaughter him. I'm as skeptical of the "kicking tires" and "we like our team" crap, but the man deserves his due. We got better in the last 2 days and have just as good a chance of any team in the East to go on a run.

Moves are an 8/10.

Would not bang.

Yeah, the Dats-Tatar-Helm line has been really good. (and there's been a good handful of games where Helm has been the best player on the ice)

And the Z-Abby-Nyquist has been fairly lacklustre lately. Might be better off Replacing Abby with Cole

A 3rd line of Abby-Sheahan-Weiss could really wreck some house come playoff time.

Cole-Z-Nquist

Helm-Dats-Tatar

Abby-Sheahan-Weiss

Miller-Glendening-Anderson. (This line has been fantastic all year,btw)

Babs will start the playoffs with the vets. Jurco and Pulks will be the odd men out for the playoffs.

Yes. I would love to see them try this. Maybe switch Abby and helm if the third line needs a little more speed.

Nyquist sucks in the top six. He's a sweetheart, but a waif. Let him eat up third line opposition while the adults do the hard work against the big boys.

I agree. Right now Nyquist isn't playing too good. Making a lot of bad decisions. Let him get some more scoring and get some confidence back then see where you go from there.

I like the acquisitions but I'm kind of wondering if Nill gave Holland the my old boss deal where it wasn't the bargain it could've been. I understand we traded prospects buried in our system but that doesn't mean they aren't any good or don't have value. I think the pick should've been lower

I have to say I am very excited about this trade Cole could bring a lot to the table if his health a good power forward that brings grit and veteran leadership and who hits a lot exactly what I was hoping for I said I wanted a good forward who could produce ore offense since we had some problems off and on with that at times im very happy go for the cup boys!

Janmark and Backman had virtually no value. They were throw ins.
