Bob Duff: Continuing tio deal with a failure to launch Detroit overcame a 4-1 lead to beat Boston on Wednesday but slow starts have proven problematic for this team all season long.

Not to pile on, but with the Wings' playoff hopes looking down who would you guys entertain moving at the deadline? I've heard Jurco is looking to move on. Would Green be a possibility? How about Sheahan? What returns would you be looking for? Picks or a particular sort of player?

Holy poop! I was gonna ask about Zetterberg till I checked and saw he was 36, signed for 4 more years after this one at a pretty big ticket.

Sheahan sucks. Anyone can have him for a 7th round pick. Please.

Honestly, if I took over as GM today, I would give YOU picks to take Sheahan.

At least Tatar and Nyquist are starting to wake up and put up some points. Probably too late in the season now to make the playoffs. I'd be fine with trading both and / or Sheahan.

Anyone if the return is right. The only guys I'd like to keep are Larkin, Mantha, and AA.

Honestly, Sheahan and Juro are competing to be the most useless forward on the team. Not much trade value at all.

I'd leave him unprotected during the expansion draft, I doubt Vegas would take his deal at his age. The team wouldn't do that to a captain though.

Jurco had major surgery in the off-season and was given about 2 weeks on the 4th line... How has he been competing for "most useless" when he hasn't been given an equal opportunity? If Jurco played with Larkin and Tatar, he'd have goals and/or points. Guess who does play there and produces Jack Squat? Sheahan.

I'd hate to trade Jurco because he has untapped potential, that for some reason, our coaches have failed to utilize. This is my biggest beef with Blashill. I thought, since he coached Jurco to dominance in the AHL, that he would give him a fair shake up here. For whatever reason he's gone full-retard regarding Jurco's deployment.

Sheahan is absolute garbage and a black hole for offense on any line he skates with.

Jurco would have one goal to Sheahan's zero, I will give you that.

Sheahan and Jurco are both better than LGD, Miller, and Ott.

Not at all. I know better than you how bad the Oilers rosters were from 2008-2016. What does that have to do with it? Your team was the toast of the league for years, doesnt make you a smarter fan than a fan of a poop team, which is what you are now.
