Thomas Vanek OUT for tonight's game against the Canucks. I'd expect a trade annoucement before the team plane leaves for Alberta. #NHLTrade

Here we go

Yeah. Dreger can shut his filthy mouth.

Remains to be seen if Thomas Vanek will be pulled from lineup tonight. Ken Holland just said: "Not that I'm aware of right now." #RedWings

lol hmm

To reset: Holland telling @AnsarKhanMLive Vanek will play. There's a lot of interest. I'd be shocked if he plays, but willing to be wrong.

Greg Brady‏ @sn590gbrady 52s52 seconds ago

I have modified the tweet -- I'm not comfortable with "OUT" b/c it makes it look like DRW are saying it, & that's not fair to team/player.

Greg Brady‏ @sn590gbrady 1m1 minute ago

I have been told not to expect him to end up playing tonight & that the activity is so considerable, that a trade gets done for him. Done.

Holland stop playing games and just sit him. Geez. No point in rolling him out there.

How awesome would it be if we trade him to Edmonton? No need to catch a ride, we'll fly him there with us and deliver him for the next game :laugh:

Huh? So if we get nothing and he walks this summer, that's fine?

Holland will get something out of this, as he should. 2nd rounders are pretty valuable, and Vanek can at least return that.

I think I can settle for a 2nd rounder at absolute wost case scenario, anything lower than that I would not take, I don't care if he walks, in the long run this effects Kenny more in future deadlines.

It appears @DetroitRedWings have 2-3 teams kicking the tires on Vanek. See where the price goes tomorrow.

I would bet money that if the Habs get thrashed by the Blue Jackets tonight, and if the offense was lacking, that Montreal of all teams will pay up for him. If Vanek gives a serious effort in the playoffs, which it would only make sense for him to do given his upcoming UFA status, he could very well redeem himself in the eyes of MTL fans and management.

Does GMMB still have a 1st?

I was hoping he would go to Boston and then see Montreal in the playoffs. That would be far more interesting. I would take just a 3rd to make that happen

Berg, tv and the Marschand would be a pretty good line .

I think letting Vanek play tonight would be stupid. Is this game so important that it could potentially cost us a 1st rder?

yeah him getting injured the day before the deadline would be so incredibly pointless and dumb(and not THAT unlikely given his age and such)

I have to admit, I don't get the people that want to either keep Vanek and sign an extension and/or trade him and resign him in the off season. This team is not going to be good for at least two more seasons, possibly more. We need cap space more than an older player on the wrong side of 32 who will probably command at least 3 X $3-4 mil.

That's idiotic, but whatever.

Score a hat trick and get us a 1st tomorrow Tommy.

Unreal. It's common sense 101 to sit him tonight. How can executive level positions make such poor judgments.
