DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 Exposing Mrazek and Sheahan are mistakes. At least he didn't go full retard and protect Helm over AA. 1 Detroit \# 1 Fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 Don't get protecting Howard over Mrazek, really hope McPhee doesn't take him, hope he's more interested in someone else... He does have a modified NTC but I believe only NMC's apply to the expansion draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 Like has been mentioned in the other thread, hopefully Holland already has a deal in place for Vegas to select a specific player, making this protection list irrelevant...

kliq 3,755 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 For the most part I agree with it, but I am pretty shocked that he protected Howard over Mrazek. I think that is a mistake. I also dont like Abby over Sheahan, but at the same time after the season Sheahan had I get it. I also would have protected XO over Jensen, but that one is a coin flip. I don't agree with it, but maybe they are done with Mrazek. Maybe the Wings want LV to take him so they dont have 9mil tied up in goalies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 Mrazek struggled all season. There is no way Vegas takes him with some of the other goalies available. So I don't think it matters who we protected at goalie. Both were gonna be on the roster come training camp. Glad they kept green. He should net us a first at the deadline. Please take Helm Vegas! 3 TheDetroitRedWings, greenrebellion and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 and no he said he wouldn't give away assets to protect additional players.. a little bit of a grey area I know. But hopefully he made a deal for them to take someone specific. Or maybe they won't want mrazeks 4 million cap hit if they already plan on having fleury and there were no trade partners for mrazek. I think he'll be fine 1 PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 I don't think Mrazek likes being a Red Wing and management doesn't see him as a #1 goalie. He had no future here. I'm assuming a trade was requested and Holland couldn't swing a deal so here we are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This exactly, I think there's a very, very slim chance Mrazek is taken after the season he had and these three available for the taking. My bet goes on Sheahan being the player we lose, and that doesn't really hurt my feelings too much. 2 kliq and kickazz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shepard88 50 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 The only person on our list worth taking is petr! And just cause Holland couldn't swing a trade for him doesn't mean McPhee can't. If our goalies are safe why take the chance and just let Howard be unprotected cause there's less of a chance he taken over petr. 2 krsmith17 and BadgerBob reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BinMucker94 302 Report post Posted June 18, 2017 I can see us losing Mrazek for nothing and have Howard get hurt for a long stretch in probaly the 15th game of the season. Then they'll be stuck with Coreau in net with an unknown back-up. Probably lock in the best odds to get the first pick next year 4 kickazz, Hockeymom1960, F.Michael and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrazek is our best player available, and I'd be shocked if he's not taken. Is Mrazek clearly the best player on our list, though? Ouellet's a serviceable second-pairing defenseman. Sheahan's a serviceable 3C. Helm's a good 3C. Mrazek hasn't established himself as a bona fide starting goaltender. Granted, you could argue a good backup goalie is more valuable than a 4D or a 3C -- but, point is, I don't think Mrazek is necessarily the clear choice. For all we know, Holland -- who has said he's spoken with McPhee -- could've asked McPhee how he felt about Mrazek and McPhee could've said, "Meh." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
