Petry is a fringe 2nd line defender. GO!
I'm just kidding, sort of, mostly. I'd be fine with him coming in, I suppose, mostly because TZE has made such a strong case.
At some point, the Wings are going to have to trade a strong prospect. There's just too many knocking at the door to keep them all, unless the plan is to run and all under 25 team, yikes.
I agree. They need to trade one or twp prospects for a good NHL player.
absolutely but dont just throw them into the garbage for the sake of making a trade
and dumping one for a very average depth ufa dman is the very definition of throwing prospects away

Sure, sure.
But few of the prospects will amount to much more than an "average depth defender" so it's hard to expect the moon.
guys like jeff petry are dime a dozen players
maybe our prospects wont amount to much more then jeff petry but why decide that before giving them a chance?
i can certainly get behind the idea of trading prospects to free up the logjam but lets do so for am actual long term upgrade(even if it costs more)
So who would you move?
I agree there is a log-jam, and a 3-1 deal would be nice, but most teams won't do something like that.
Maybe a 3-1 for a 1st kinda deal, but most teams aren't in the business of dealing a long term signed player for prospects.
EDIT: Also, name some targets you like. (Not intending to argue, just discuss)
my target, my #1 target, would be yandle.
I would offer
jurco or pulkinnen
smith
mckee(or equivalent depth college level prospect)
2016 1st rd pick
to me that is a heck of an offer and likely one good enough to get it done(its same sort of offer as bobby ryan, spezza, keslers, etc)
sure so long as sproul or AA or pulks or ouellet or mantha or mrazek or larkin or nosek or a 1st rd pick are not going the other way
One of these is not like the others...
Sounds good only if he re-sign with us after the contract runs out(I know it's against the rules but have to figure it out somehow). If not that's a lot for 1 and 1/4 years of hockey.
hahaha i agree i just like him
I know the feeling, I like Jensen an incredible amount. Still is movable, I just hope he makes it through the process and is a Wings player soon.

Totally forgot Jensen shoots right, as well. Along with Sproul.
If Marchenko is going to be a future cog, it's not inconceivable the right handed dilemma could be fixed internally. Go all in on Mike Green and let these guys fill out the last spots.
Anyone have interest in Max Talbot?
Would be good 4th line/PK depth for a push.
Doesn't make much, 1.25 this year, 1 next.
Better option than Andersson I guess.
Just threw up in my mouth.
Well that sucks.
Why? He's a great bottom line option. Basically replaces no hands Andersson.
