"I think quite frankly when I look at this deal, I think it’s a fair and reasonable deal for both sides. If Petr performs, we pay more, Detroit gets more.

amato 3,143 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 Probably irrelevant question: McKenzie says if they make the “CF” the 2018 pick could become a 2nd.... does he mean conference final or cup final? Would think he’d just say “finals” if it were cup final but ya never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,555 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 Hell that should've been in there! If they win the Cup it becomes a 1st in 2018 (they have 2 of them) and a 2nd in 2019. Not saying Holland got fleeced, he did very good, but what is one more condition between friends? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ram 240 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 Fine with this. Decent enough haul for a guy that was never gonna be here much longer after they didn't protect him in expansion. Good luck to him and let's keep the rebuild going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F.Michael 4,246 Report post Posted February 20, 2018 6 hours ago, RusDRW said: Well, 4th round selection is nothing. Of course, Holland had no intentions qualifying him. That is called bad asset management. ??? Holland really had no intention of re-signing Mrazek this summer - especially at $4 plus million which I'm sure Mrazek wants. He was given ample opportunity to become the #1 netminder, and couldn't do so. Moving him for draft pick/s is one of a very few ways to make the best of this situation. I've been critical of Holland, but like the Brendan Smith deal to the NYR - I applaud this move by Holland since both other Philly goalies are on IR for the next 4 to 6 weeks which gives Mrazek ample opportunity to shine, and garner the Wings a boost into the 2nd round pick, and an additional 3rd rounder as well. 1 kickazz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philly is just a few pts away from either keeping their playoff spot, or potentially sliding down to 9th/10th in the Eastern Conference.

That is called bad asset management. Im with you. It would be one thing if we were loaded with talent and shipping guys out because we couldnt find a spot for them. But that's not the case. The Wings are starving for talent and failing to develop their draft picks into a successful team. Kindl, Quincy, Smith, Sheahan, Jarnkrok, Janmark, Frk, Jurco, Pulkkinen, Mrazek, etc etc etc. At some point in time, the GM has to be held accountable. The biggest problem I have right now is Holland not recognizing what is going to come out of the third round = CRAP. We need picks in the top 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They gave up very little to acquire a goaltender with a lot of untapped potential. If Mrazek pans out, great for them. If he doesn't, no big loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You definitely got my point but decided to pretend you had no ideas what I'm talking about Nope, there were many aspects of your post that I didnt get. "Another glory day for the brand new Red Wings! First treating Mrazek like s*** by exposing him to the waiversand then trading him for nothing while also retaining salary... And all these having no goalies in the pipeline. Well done!!! For the Flyers it has all the potential to be "reserve" Bob trade." Wasnt sure why you mentioned waivers, didnt get why you cared about retaining salary for the next 3 months, not sure what a "reserve bob trade" means Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
