Red Wings

[FCRhodes]

Yes he got really good once he got playing time. And its a Red Wings first rounder (going to Tampa), which is close to a 2nd.

Quincey looks like he could be Brad Stuart's replacement down the road.

I like the addition but a 1st rounder for Quincey? Wow, seems like we could've waited a few more days and the price come down a little. It's pretty fishy how the Bolts just got him from the Avs then flipped him to us.

I bet the Avs aren't very happy he's back in the West.

[froot loops]

Why would the price come down? Prices go up at the deadline not down.

It is a good trade and pretty much ensures Holland will be making another one here sometime soon. I would like him to get rid of Ericsson as opposed to Kindl because I feel if we let go of Kindl it will just be the Quincey situation again in a couple years.

Plus the players in this draft class haven't developed at all along the lines of what they were predicting the last 2 years, they kept saying it was going to be extremely deep and could challenge 03 for the first round number of quality players, but this draft is no where near as deep as 03 and our pick (over 25 more than likely) is not going to net a good player.

Add onto that the fact that Quincey(unlike most other D available for trade) is an RFA at the end of the year and if just one team offers him a deal of over 3.3 million a year (which is just a hair over his current salary) then we get a 1st and 3rd rd pick from them. So in all likelihood we could be trading up in the first round while gaining a 3rd and losing Piche but they also get Quincey for the duration of the season and playoffs. Or they could obviously retain him depending on what happens for us at free agency.

Whelp, the streak ends at 23, courtesy of a shootout loss to the Vancouver Canucks.

They need to get bigger on the blueline. Or someone like Probie to protect our stars...

[jaadam4]

lol.. I've pretty much given up on the Wings getting someone like that. We've been bitching for years to find someone like that but Holland and Babcock don't seem to think it would fit this team.

Our home streak came to an end. It was a helluva win streak boys.

[Malto Marko]

Very dramatic ending also.

Scoring with just 15 seconds to tie then win the shoot out, gotta give the Canuks credit for keeping battling.

[DanO]

This team SUCKS. They'll lose in the first round.

......

[FCRhodes]

I thought the WIngs got hosed on the last icing call.

[Malto Marko]

I did too but, they should have been able to keep them scoreless for half a minute.

[DanO]

No bites. Fishing's not so good today.

[chemiclord]

It's all in the timing.

Hard to troll a team just off an NHL record win streak.
