Steve Yzerman

Yes please, Need to get it done ASAP.

Let's make this the most "liked" post on the DRW board.

The value is there...

 

[dragonballgtz]

But supposedly teams that are looking at Nyquist/Tatar want players with term like Nashville and St Louis. So that shouldn't be an issue.

We gonna see...

*Crosses fingers*

Watching TSN there talking about Ben Hutton maybe being on the block. Not sure of his value, but could that be a buy low option?

Sellers, the Wings have like a 1% chance at making the playoffs. Holland makes plenty of foolish decisions, but he isn't stupid. I expect Green to get moved and maybe one other piece.

Yeah there is no way Holland is buying, despite the fear mongering going on in this thread

 

[waltdetroit]

I heard there’s coverage on the tdl? When is that cause I’ve got nothing to do today

Hockeybuzz keeps a current list - yeah I know but it's usually up to date

What is funny/sad is that Yzerman would probably still be a 1st or 2nd line center on this team if he put on the skates.

I'm not afraid of buying, I'm afraid of not selling.

 

[dragonballgtz]

Watching TSN Tradecenter and Darryl Sutter has such a deep voice...all bass

 

[RedWingzz]

Alright GMs, any time now.......

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Come on Holland 4 hours left, Please do something here. You said you are going to be sellers prove it to us.

Yes holland needs to sell and that’s on him, but to his defence the prices probably aren’t there. It’s a crappy situation for all us Wings fans.

I'm not afraid of buying, I'm afraid of not selling.

I just want nothing to do with, "we like our team" turning into, "we just saw a red and white carcass get scraped off the road in the first round".

Realistically, if Detroit is ever going to do serious damage in the playoffs again, they need some highly impactful players. And I don't know that I see this franchise finding that caliber outside of a top 5 pick.

Depth? Easily.
Secondary scoring? No sweat.
But top flight, cornerstone guys? Not so much.

So I hope they make some good trades today, and make some great draft picks this summer.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

I don’t see much happening today league wide. I’m about 50 50 that Green gets moved for a decent return.

Let’s hope everyone!

 

[Konnan511]

I'm getting a feeling we are not going to be sellers....and it's making me nauseous.

 

[raymond23]

Nothing is going to happen, is it?

 

[rhef3]

Mike green gave clearance for lightning or capitals trade per the score tweet.

We knew about that from Green last week.

We are walking a fine line. We want to stay competitive, we want a good environment for our players. I get what Holland is saying and I’m in.

The problem? We can’t win enough games to make the playoffs. We absolutely NEED a top 8 pick. The talent drop after that is pretty substantial.
I’m sure Ken Holland agrees.
