Speculation: NHL teams being told Detroit ready to deal

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Imagine if we throw both Howard and Mrazek away and Coreau is the starter for the rest of the season.

Yup talking about a major tank move there, Sounds like something that Chris Ilitch would get behind.

Honestly I'd be ecstatic if we traded Howard too. Can't see it from an organizational depth perspective though, I guess we'd be getting one back.

Thought I was quick in the edit

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Good or bad, I don't see that happening at all. Holland isn't going to burn it down now if he hasn't done so already. And trading BOTH of your starting goaltenders is about as close you can get to burning it down without trading your franchise skaters.

Let's do that! Coreau the starter, Blashill coach/ backup goalie

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Do it! Trade all the things

 

[BinCookin]

We probably take a goalie back in the trade... but ya, i hadnt really thought we would trade both goalies LOL LOL

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Now that would be great

Take back halak and add a pick

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

Just to let you guys know jimmy Murphy rumors have been banned from the Bruins forum because he is worse than Eklund. I mean worse.

 

[Henkka]

Would be absolutely great. Just hoard assets.

 

[ShelbyZ]

I'll bet the Isles are only interested if they can get the Red Wings to take Greiss' contract in exchange somehow. Halak hasn't been nearly as bad the past couple months, so I doubt they want to give up that kind of depth if they have playoff aspirations. Especially if they're bringing in an injury prone replacement.

From the Griffins highlights of Coreau's last shutout he looked fantastic. I know he's disciplined himself with his diet, etc. I'm curious if he can at least properly fill out the backup spot.

 

[BinCookin]

I theorize this:

there are several teams talking to detroit regarding these players:

3 teams asking about Nyquist
4 teams asking about Glendening
3-4 teams asking about Ericsson
and 3 teams asking about Dekeyser

Also a fun quote i found from Kenny: "the captain is tough to deal with" (refering to Yzerman)

 

[RedWingzz]

Ya but it looks like they want us to take Beleskey back for Helm, no thanks.

I'd do something like Helm for Beleskey and a 2nd, or Beleskey and a prospect. Beleskey only has 2 years remaining after this year, Helm has 3.

He was terrible to start the reason but has been much better since. Since Dec. 22, the 6-foot-6 netminder sports a 13-2-3 record along with a 1.92 goals against average and a 0.933 save percentage in 18 appearances including consecutive shutouts in his last 2 games.
McCollum has been terrible all year. Hopefully they give Machovsky plenty of opportunity.

 

[Winger98]

I'm not even sure we want to call Coreau up and screw with GR's playoff chances. It's really the only chance a bunch of guys are going to have to see any sort of playoff action this year, and I'd rather ensure that than have Coreau up to relieve Howard once in awhile.

Is this from your contact? Haven’t heard anything about Ericsson.

Nothing prevents us sending Coreau back and take McCollum to sit on the bench.

I'm quite sure they are gonna swap those goalies a lot on the final month. Coreau can play some week games, and be playing in AHL on the weekend they mostly play. And Coreau will go to play for the AHL playoffs.

Hard to actually believe that there would be 3-4 teams interested in Ericsson, Only problem is that he has a 19 team no trade list coming up July 1st so he'll only accept a trade to like 11 teams good luck finding a match.

 

[Syckle78]

Yea can't see the interest in ericcson with two more years remaining. Maybe next year if he's playing well with only a year left we can get a 3rd or something.

Actually there is something that would prevent it. They only get 4 "non emergency" call ups after the TDL. I would imagine they have better players in GR to burn those on than a 28YO goalie that's over 3.00GAA and barely over .90 SV% in the AHL.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the goalies because of a few factors:

A. If Coreau isn't in GR when the TDL passes, he won't be eligible to go back down for the AHL playoffs.

B. If they do send Coreau down for the TDL to be eligible for the AHL POs (likely on paper), bringing him back up right after burns one of those 4 call ups

C. If they do intend to put Coreau back in GR for the playoffs, he's still subject to waivers if he hits 30 days in the NHL... although I doubt he'd be claimed.

Today Holland said they weren't sure if they were going to let Coreau finish the year in the NHL or pick up a back up so he can get more games and playoffs in GR.

I wonder if this means the Wings try to grab a goalie for as close to free as possible before the deadline? Either a Leighton type to give GR some depth if Coreau doesn't go back down, or something like Lack or Chad Johnson for a conditional 7th to ride the pine in the NHL so Coreau can go back to GR.

when i theorize something, I usually have help with my thoughts

I could see E helping a playoff team. the strongest teams usually like rentals. But maybe a more bubble time team would be looking to add a real D man like DK or E. Or maybe this is where a conversation begins, doesnt happen at the deadline but gets done during the summer. I think odds of Nyquist being moved is higher than DK or E... but who knows, maybe we get surprised.

McCollum has been terrible all year. Hopefully they give Machovsky plenty of opportunity.

McCollum has played better the past month as well and he is the Griffins #1 netminder for now unless the Wings get another goalie before the TDL. Machovsky will most likely get his first Griffins start either Saturday or Sunday here in GR vs Iowa. McCollum will be in net tomorrow night vs Chicago here.

Can’t wait for Monday. Even if we only trade green I’ll still be happy.

Other trades are interesting as well. Love the tdl

Oh god if he trades Ericsson I will send him enough money for a wine of his choosing

I think the Griffins will be fine. But yeah should have them make the playoffs first or at least when they reach 80 percent chance to make it
