AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 I read last night of a bunch of Caps fans tweeting, BEGGING, someone to sign Mike Green. So I am hoping he needed a change of scenery and returns more to the offensive d-man he can be than keep on the course where people are begging the Wings to buy out his contract. Hopeful. I would like to see another centre. And maybe a scoring forward, or Joel Ward, who is a clutch player when you need a big goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger 16s17 seconds ago Deal isn't quite done, but Brad Richards and the Red Wings are working on a 1 yr deal. My god as if we don't have enough forwards Wtf's gonna happen now? ... Anderssen is a likely goner, miller? .... We can't possibly be getting rid of pulkkinen jurco to make space for a 35 yr old slower richards Don't like this signing at all , hope it doesn't happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) The Brad Richards news is interesting. He'd bring us to 15F, 8D, 2G when all the RFA's are signed though (I think?). Must be a trade coming as well. Edited July 1, 2015 by Detroit # 1 Fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy scored 45 points last year. kronwall was the only one even close to that. To have a dman that could actually put up points for once is huge for us.

ShereKhan 34 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 sign Richards to a one year deal. Package a trade with a few forwards for a more defensive oriented blue liner. Richards bridges the gap for Larkin. 1 BadgerBob reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MileHighWingsGuy 178 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Agree with the sentiment perhaps a larger trade freeing some of the clutter at forward might be in the works. Can't see Richards as a stand alone proposition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Yeah I'm not sure on Richards. Shows they want Z to be on the wing at all cost. Guess Larkin has no chance to be a regular. Oh well... Nice to dream. Sheahan could outperform Richards easily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcaractac 3,962 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 I like richards on a one year deal. Gives us certainty for a second line center, and a year for larkin/sheahan to grow into that role 2 e_prime and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyquistfan14 489 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 I like richards on a one year deal. Gives us certainty for a second line center, and a year for larkin/sheahan to grow into that role Might also signal a trafe for another d-man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 I think signing Richards for a year is just Holland being prepared for Pavs and Z to not be healthy all year and not burning a year on Larkin's contract if an emergency happens Dats Richards Sheahan Glendening Larkin Could work... Andersson will just be a plug in at center or wing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcaractac 3,962 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Might also signal a trafe for another d-man I'm secretly hoping we make a nice package for Edmonton to land Eberle. But yes, it is wishful thinking. We have too many players up front and on the backend. Edmonton needs d and role players. We have too many of both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
