Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Beginning to face the inevitable. It being March 2nd and still having Smith and Vanek on this team. It seems we can't even sell the farm correctly. Hope I'm wrong but im preparing to be right. 1 BBD10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Ill believe it when I see it on Smith. Still confident Ken will make the right decision here. My guess is initial offers for him were low (they should be) and now the Wings brass are trying pump his tires. IMO this strategy wont work, and he'll get dealt for a 4th or something at the end of the day Wednesday. Filppula, Tyler Johnson, and Quincey all seem to have entered rumor talks. Has anyone checked out the Burrows trade? They gave up prospect jonathan Dahlen for a 36 yo Burrows straight up. I think Ottawa got robbed. Eerily similar to the Forsberg/Erat trade in my mind.

brandon27 111 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 I can't believe that Holland has done essentially nothing at this point. I really dont understand what he's waiting for. He can't possibly think that hanging onto guys on expiring deals, or re-signing Smith is a good idea at this point. Take anything you can get, it's better than guys that aren't going to be here for the future. You're not making the playoffs, the roster isnt good enough. The coach isn't good enough. Make the damn team better already. Sell off the wasted space! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Vanek and smith are starting to look like the best options for most teams now ....I swear to god if holland doesn't trade them now and brings back smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenrebellion 415 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Holland is probably satisfied after trading Jurco. He'll come out later this week and say he kicked some tires but wasn't willing to part with Smith or Vanek for less than they are worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They cited work ethic problems with him. Seemed like they were wrong about that last year, but now he's in the AHL with the yotes citing work ethic problems. So i dont know about that kid. Not sure I want him in our lockerroom. With Shattenkirk off the market now teams will start seriously looking at Smith. Vanek is probably the best forward available as well.

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 What do you know, Pagnotta is reporting that Detroit is really heating up. Taking late night calls on Sheahan, Tatar, Nyquist, and Ott. https://mobile.twitter.com/thefourthperiod/status/836423823050358785 Sounds like Kens pulling an all nighter boys and girls. Not just sitting on his thumbs. Surprising that Vanek and Smith arent mentioned. Tomorrow might be our day. Pens lost the race on Shattenkirk. I see them and the Rags calling for Smith now. Hopefully Kenny can get 2 deals done tomorrow and a third done on dead line day. Vanek to chicago seems like a no brainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fingers crossed, now that the major players are off the table the ball is in Holland's court. Hopefully he is able to get a good return for our UFA's. If we can end up with two 1st's and a 2nd for Sheahan, Vanek, and Smith, I will be fricken elated! 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Had this thought. How willing are you guys willing to take back a bad contract in a trade? Like a Dustin Brown or Marian Gaborik? To DET: Brown + 1st rounder To LA: Vanek + Smith Of course youre committing to 5+ years of rebuild with this style move. I dont think Ken has an appetite for it, just thinking out loud 6 minutes ago, kliq said: http://www.stresstostrength.com/anticipatory-stress/ Fingers crossed, now that the major players are off the table the ball is in Holland's court.

Just remembered Colorado has done nothing so far and the rumors about Duchene and Landeskog have really died. I could see them making a big splash tomorrow and stealing our thunder.
