I don't think he will be for 2 or 3 years yet but maybe he will surprise us

hes young , let him play another 2 full years in the ahl before backing up for one year and taking over the nhl

anybody think maybe we should put filppula in the 4th line tomorrow??? he hasnt been doing anything and it might get him going playing against the ducks bottom players and might help us if the 4th line chips in tomorrow???

zetterberg datsyuk abdelkader

bertuzzi franzen cleary

brunner andersson nyquist

filppula emmerton eaves

sound good??

erik cole is finished ... theres a reason montreal got rid of him and why he continued sucking ass in dallas so NO THANKS

ryder has a shot but thats all he has he doesnt bring anything else , doesnt play 2 way and doesnt show up in the playoffs babcock would hate him .... again no thanks

burrows for franzen? no thanks ... mule is inconsistent yes but he shows up in the playoffs when it counts ... besides i dont think anyone would take him

 

God, I hope NOT!  I cannot stand trading the first rounder.  I know Holland has scored in the later rounds, but its time to start keeping these 1st round picks.  Having a pick in the teens is about the highest we are going to have (hopefully.)

 

Not unless Holland is going to opt for his small skilled player again and decides that he will be available in the 2nd round then we are screwed.  The ONLY way I trade this 1st rounder is if we are trading it in a package for a sniper (or Shea Weber.)  If not, then keep it.

 

Hmmm....what would it take to land Shea Weber?

in 2011 we got jurco ouellet and sproul in the 2nd round... if we can pull off something like that id be down for it ... i really wish they would of traded ian white when they had the chance the last 2 drafts have been amazing and has great potential we could of used that extra pick

i just got the hockey news draft preview and theres some nice 30+ potenital guys

valentin zykov

justin bailey

hudson fasching

artturi lehkonen

dillon heatherington

brett pesce

as for shea weber i dont want anything to do with that contract and we have a ton of upcoming promising dmen in our system ... ouellet sproul backman marchenko jenson almquist

 

I could see them moving up to the top 10 if there is someone available they covet.

 

We have so many prospects right now, that It would make sense swapping 2 picks for 1 further up if Flips rights aren't enticing enough. 

seriously doubt that would happen ... and if someones gonna give up a top 10 pick for filppula's rights they have to be 100 percent sure they can resign him

thanks for the replys guys ... i do think in the end theres a good chance we'll end up trading our 1st for like 2 2nds like we've done in the past ... alot of teams have 2-3 2nd round picks if im correct

i just hope we get some big bodies upfront

i dont know if hes draft eligible or we can just invite him to camp but im interested in 21 yr old undrafted stefan fournier

http://www.hockeydb.....php?pid=115921

6'3 210 pds he has 16 goals and 29 pts in 17 playoff games

All players who will be 18 years old before September 14 and not older than 20 years old before December 31 are eligible for selection for that year's NHL Entry Draft. In addition, non-North American players over the age of 20 are eligible

k that answers my question lol ... love to see us give fournier a try out and maybe sign him to grand rapids for a couple of years
