Ericsson is possibly one of the 5 worst defenseman in the league right now.

He's been horrible since 2010...been saying that for years.

Major deals have to be made for things to improve with this team, the boat load of forwards and useless people like Jurco, Andersson, Kindl wasting roster spots....incompetent management right now is the only thing killing this team...

That and letting Jim Nill go.....

No one wants Kindl or andersson, so how do you expect to make a major deal and move guys no one wants?

are you willing to trade tatar, larkin mrazek AA or mantha?

well those are the guys other teams want, maybe if you trade mantha +1st then you can add a trash can with him, like ericsson to get a good player, otherwise its not gonna happen

the only contract i actually think can be movable is howard, probably not for much but i have a hard time believing other teams with 0 goalies and a ton of cap wouldnt take him on

they didnt let jim nill go, he wanted his own team and holland has no where to go unless devallano retires, so until then holland is the guy and anyone who gets primed up is going to continue to leave

[quote=Sven22]I think if Pulks ever gets a real chance you will be pleasantly surprised. 12 points in 29 games is actually pretty good considering how little he plays and how awful the Red Wings offense is generally.

Facts. Amazing how they don't lie. Hard to dispute.

Pulkkinen has 115% more goals and 36% more points per minute of 5-on-5 ice time as Gustav Nyquist this year. He may be a 1-trick pony, but his trick is pretty good. And most of the complaints you can make about his defense or all-around game could just as easily be made about Nike.

Absolutely true. It's not like there's any danger of Nike winning the Selke.

It's the overall poor asset management of Holland. Jarnkrok, Janmark, Ferraro, and Nestrasil are all playing on other NHL teams and Holland has nothing to show for it.
