If he tries to trade Jurco when his value is at an all time low, he is an idiot... sadly i think jurco is as good as gone ,blashill bitched about how talented he was and we can all see how he dominated the ahl(yes im aware its a different league) but he never really gave him a shot , always tried to make him a 4th liner way before mantha showed up should of given him a 10 game trial on the top 6 at least , sadly with all the forwards we have i think hes as good as gone ... if a team like chicago picked him up and put him on with a toews i think it could be greatly beneficial to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am all for throwing some extra out there for Fowler, in the LONG post I made in the GM thread I actually added Marchenko to our trade with Calgary or Anaheim that I'd like to see...maybe that sweetens it up some... This isn't NHL 16 were quantity for quality might work. Think about it the other way, if Murray or Treliving came asking for Larkin would you accept your offer of a pure rental past 30, and a third pairing at best defenseman? No you wouldn't and neither are Murray or Treliving. If Anaheim wants Larkin damn sure I'm asking for Fowler or Lindholm in return. The Wings had all summer and even more to make a trade for Fowler and yet Holland did nothing. Marchenko and company are the usual suspects you throw in in order to get more contracts flexibility but thats about it. Don't want to say goodbye to Larkin or Mantha? Well say goodbye to the likes of Fowler, Hamilton, Lindholm, Trouba ...then not exactly rocket science. Also Vanek would be a terrible fit for the Ducks they aren't a fast team they are big physical grind it out team that's not Vanek's game. Vanek really struggled under Yeo, Therrien imagine him under Carlyle. I've said it many times and I stick by it Green, Vanek, Tatar and company need to be dangled long before the other teams are deciding that their big names are available because if Sakic is keeping his word then Duchene, Landeskog and Barrie might be on the market which obviously puts on top of every contenders list.

Like what? Yeah our D is not great. But that same D that played in front of Mraz also played in front of Howard. So sorry but bad D doesnt bail out your argument. Id be fine trading Howard if Mraz numbers were equal, or at least decent. But theyre not. And even so, Howard has... wait for it... AN NTC! And the market is loaded with goaltenders! Unless we buy him out or Vegas selects him (they wont with better options available) hes not going anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Son of a Wing 1,644 Report post Posted January 21, 2017 Lefty you've got to realize there's a reason why multiple people call you out on your trade proposals time and time again and no one, who's rational, agrees with you. Your values are way off. It's not personal. You have a reputation for this so people are going to call you out.

I get it. Welcome to the world of Ken Holland. A player is only as valuable as the market dictates. Its all about leverage and right now the Wings dont have much. Right now Howard gets us nothing special, if the day before the deadline two contenders lose their starting goalie, completely different story. Also, in today's NHL big trades don't really happen. The day Subban and Hall were moved was an outlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The world juniors is very overrated in terms of assessing talent. It's a very short window where some lesser players can look a lot better than they are. You're much better off assessing them through their club team over the course of a whole season. 1 ChristopherReevesLegs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 5,152 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 I say trade Nyquist AND Tatar. Get a prospect for each....or picks. I all for just keeping Vanek and extending him, preferably after the expansion draft, but if we got rid of the two above, we could extend him right away and protect him. But I guess it would also be ok the protect him and leave the two unprotected at the draft. I could really care less right about now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trade Tatar and Nyquist in a way that nets us a Dman finally. Shattenkirk or something. Extend Vanek. Play Jurco and Miller (maybe). And take a shot at the playoffs. If we miss whatever.

Lets hope he can manage playing out the season. Look i can make sarcastic exagerrations too! Never claimed Howard was a stud. Ive openly stated multiple times on this board that Jimmy Howard has been an average goalie over the course of his career. My argument doesnt change due to that either. If youre done discussing that's fine. Im sure someone else will tag in to defend Mrazek sooner rather than later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
