Et bang!

There's a possibility. Even if we lose rychel, his trade value, is what? At very best a 2nd? Everybody has to lose something.

On the flip side, maybe we do a small deal with LV. have them select a prospect we like and flip them a pick prospect.

Could be? But I do believe(hope lol) that Lou is going to assist George in building a farm system by sending 3to5 players from our system!

It's worse than that even. It's a complete $hit show.

Considering how long Detroit has been considered "The Gold Standard" of how an organization should be run, I find it refreshing to see what's going on with the Wings these days.

Babs leaves Detroit = Wings suck, miss playoffs shortly after

Bab arrives in Toronto = Leafs vastly improved, make playoffs shortly after

Coincidence? I think not.

i thought so for a while...but LV is sharing an ahl team with St. Louis.

They won't need that many guys.

I think it was Marchenko, not Babcock.

That's the lie Holland is using. The real reason is Holland didn't like Mrazek forcing a raise by almost taking him to arbitration last summer. Plus Jimmy is Kenny's boy.

hmmmm....spite.

tastes delicious.

do you have a link to this?

I understand if its take Fehr and this draft pick to stay away from other players.. .thats the only way it happens.. but depends on the Add on draft pick. has to be less value than Rychel or leips.

Who knows? I mean they could have multiple deals in place?before and after the draft! The tricky one is lupul!

I think the years of only drafting later in the 1st round finally caught up to them...

What? They protected Howard? Why?
- Scabeh

Ya that seems odd no?maybe a Detroit fan can enlighten us!

cool to see how many top picks in the '15 draft already have NHL experience. bit of a gap in the middle there, wonder what that's about

Marner only played 77 games. His durability is a joke. Expose him, and protect Kirby.

wrong.


we can't expose marner.


let's trade him to vegas so they don't take rychel.

I'm curious myself...

I usually don't end up hating a fan base, just their teams.

Except for Sens fans.... (frank) these guys.

I'll get roasted for this!but I honestly hope that all Canadian teams do well! I'm to franking old to give a shat anyways

That, and not hitting the lottery every (frank)ing year by fluking out on players like Lidstrom in the 3rd, Datsyuk in the 6th and Zetterberg in the 7th.

Maybe Bergevin is emboldened by the Shanaplan and how quickly the team has turned it around that he's willing to do what it takes to win during Carey's elite window and then firesale when it all goes to hell

Pierre "Condom head" was going on about how crazy it was that TJ Oshie was left exposed and other nonsense...

The fall from glory has been happening for years. Babs drew as much lipstick on the pig as he could. Holland is getting what he deserves right now. He's run out of excuses. If he wants to blame anyone for the Red Wings demise, all he has to do is take a look in the mirror.

Must be it.

tough to blame it all on Holland though, think he is still sour on the whole Datsyuk thing and still hasn't recovered

Mrazek's Euro snobbery became too overbearing. Just ask Lums, he'll tell you all about that.

This would never of happened if Mrazek was a good Canadian boy and raised to play the game properly and with respect.
