If thats true then there has to be a trade in the works.

Unless they are going after Hamhuis

dont quote me but iv been reading we might be in on shatenkirk hmmmmmmmmm

[SwedeLundin77 460]

Just because he was good in NY doesn't mean he'll be here, remember Weiss? We don't have the same players. We have players that can't find the back side of the barn let alone the net.

Weiss flunked out because he couldn't stay healthy, which didn't allot him the time necessary to learn our system, gain any concistency, or gaining any cohesion with linemates.

Nielsen, while I don't think is truly the answer, has only missed 7 games over the past 5 seasons. Other than Okposo, he'll be playing with some better wingers here (Zetterberg, Nyquist, Tatar, Larkin, maybe Mantha if he can transition).

haha thank you for this bit of comic relief in the midst of all the sky is falling fire holland etcetc

You're over-emphasising my post. I don't expect every FA to want to come here, but I also feel that Holland is very overrated. He talked a big game about changing the makeup of this team and making us harder to play against, yet so far we are the same exact team as last year, minus Datsyuk. He simply does not follow through. Unless he makes a significant trade or trades, he failed this off-season. He doesn't seem to want to take any risk, ANY risk whatsoever. If we are to trade for a top D-man, he's going to have to give to get, it's just the way it is. Other teams do it.

You said Holland was asleep during the McGinn signing which implies he could have signed him had he been actively pursuing him, which he may have been. But as has been reported most of the desirable free agents have had their hearts set elsewhere.

So what are we willing to give that would land us a Trouba or Shattenkirk? I suspect that Mantha would have to go in any such deal, plus a roster player like Nyquist. That's a steep price, but maybe we need to bite the bullet.

omg

[LeftWinger 4,933]

Still some good players out there....why not take a shot at Vanek? Still would like Smash Martin, but we'd have to move some bottom 6. Sure wish we'd trade Nyquist.

totally fine with a goose jurco pulks trade

[SwedeLundin77 460]

As far as forwards we might still looking at:

Vanek

Hudler (God no)

Boedker

Ott

Versteeg

Martin

Brown

Shipachvoy

Pirri

Or maybe package up a huge deal for barrie and duchene or gabriel? We would give up nyquist, mantha, sproul and a 1st for barrie and duchene? That would be a great deal.

[Datsyukian-Deke 722]

I would take vanek on a 1 year deal in a heart beat. If he doesn't pan out, no harm no foul.

If Wings add another UFA, will be to address grit.

[SwedeLundin77 460]

I'd like to take a chance on Vanek for cheap if he's willing. I'm also hoping we can grab Shipachvoy and/or Pirri. Versteeg might be interesting, but he's had injury issues.

im ok with these 3

[frankgrimes 1,836]

It's embarrassing that people do t think of this. They just assume the players want to come to Detroit.

No what's embarrassing is not accepting the cold hard truth which is a real rebuild. I would have been fine with doing nothing today because there isn't anyone who can help this team. More and more players don't want to come here they'd rather sign in Buffalo, Edmonton if this isn't a clear indication I don't know what is.

With the prices being paid today maybe someone would have traded for Z or Kronwall

You don't run the team. It's a corporation making the playoffs is expected by Mr I whether you, me or anyone likes it or not. The sooner you realize this the better off you will be.

Martin, Vanek would be a good end to this day. I hope we're in on Shattenkirk.
